Royals-Tigers lineups for Wednesday

The weather is lovely here at Comerica Park for the second game of the Royals season, which starts at noon on Fox Sports KC and KCSP (610 AM). The forecast calls for freezing rain on Thursday morning, so this feels like a welcome reprieve.

Here are the lineups as Jason Vargas faces Max Scherzer:

1. Nori Aoki, RF.

2. Omar Infante, 2B.

3. Eric Hosmer, 1B.

4. Billy Butler, DH.

5. Alex Gordon, LF.

6. Salvador Perez, C.

7. Mike Moustakas, 3B.

8. Lorenzo Cain, CF.

9. Alcides Escobar, SS.

1. Ian Kinsler, 2B.

2. Tyler Collins, LF.

3. Miguel Cabrera, 1B.

4. Victor Martinez, DH.

5. Torii Hunter, RF.

6. Austin Jackson, CF.

7. Alex Avila, C.

8. Nick Castellanos, 3B.

9. Alex Gonzalez, SS.

Reliever Louis Coleman (bruised right middle finger) is expected to throw a bullpen session on Wednesday morning at the club’s complex in Surprise, Ariz. He is eligible to leave the disabled list on April 8.
