Eric Hosmer went 2-for-4 and finally hit his first homer of the season Thursday against the Orioles.

The homer came in his 99th at-bat. The hope was that Hosmer would show more power this year after slipping to 14 homers as a sophomore last year, but he entered tonight's game with a weak .330 slugging percentage.

Eric Hosmer doubled and drew two walks in the Royals' loss to the Tigers on Wednesday night.

A nice show of plate discipline from the young first baseman, who wound up with two RBI. Hosmer is batting just .277 with a weak .319 slugging percentage, but he has a cool .375 OBP in 56 plate appearances this season. The power numbers will hopefully arrive soon.

Eric Hosmer is not in Friday's lineup against the Blue Jays.

No official word on any sort of injury, so it looks like Royals manager Ned Yost has opted to go with a righty-heavy lineup against southpaw J.A. Happ. Miguel Tejada will make his first career start at first base while Elliot Johnson will start over Chris Getz at second base.

Eric Hosmer is likely to play right field in Thursday's Cactus League game.

The Royals play in Philadelphia the first weekend of the season, so Royals manager Ned Yost wants him to get some reps in the outfield. The DH spot won't be available under National League rules, so Billy Butler will play first base. Jeff Francoeur will sit in this scenario, but most fantasy owners won't be disappointed by that.
