Cuthbert went 3-for-4 with a home run and a strikeout against the Indians on Thursday.

EDGE Analysis

Cuthbert is seeing more playing time due to Mike Moustakas' season-ending ACL injury, and he's making the most of his opportunities with hits in seven of the past nine games. If he can keep this up for an extended period of time, there's a chance Cuthbert wins the job at the hot corner for the reminder of the season, thus increasing his fantasy value considerably.

Cuthbert is out of the lineup Wednesday against Tampa Bay, Joel Goldberg of FSKC reports.

EDGE Analysis

Cuthbert has started the last five games so it appears to be just a routine rest day. Whit Merrifield is getting the start at third in place of him, making his second start there this season. The 23-year-old, who's batting 6-for-20 (.300) over his last five games, will likely be back at the hot corner Thursday against Cleveland.

Cuthbert (quad) is in the lineup at third base and batting eighth in the order Sunday against the White Sox, Rustin Dodd of The Kansas City Star reports.

EDGE Analysis

The quad contusion that Cuthbert sustained in Saturday's comeback win over the White Sox was only a minor one, so he'll be back in the lineup a day later and shouldn't face many limitations. Cuthbert looks to be entrenched as the Royals' regular third baseman the rest of the season following Mike Moustakas' ACL tear, but as a corner infielder with limited pop and barely over 100 career at-bats at the big-league level, it's tough to count on Cuthbert to become a major fantasy asset at his position.

Cuthbert sustained a mild quadriceps contusion in Saturday's win over Chicago, Josh Vernier of 610 Sports Radio reports.

EDGE Analysis

Cuthbert suffered the injury in the ninth inning Saturday when a miscommunication on a foul ball resulted in him colliding with catcher Salvador Perez. Fortunately for Cuthbert, his injury is believed to be minor. The Royals will have to get creative with their third base rotation should Cuthbert miss any time given that Mike Moustakas is out for the season with a torn ACL. Utility man Whit Merrifield would likely take over if Cuthbert misses Sunday's game.

Cuthbert was called up Monday, Joel Goldberg of FSKC reports.

EDGE Analysis

Cuthbert was recalled from Triple-A Omaha with Alex Gordon heading to the DL with a wrist injury. The 23-year-old has played 13 games in the majors this season, so he will be a familiar face as he returns to the Royals' dugout. He will provide depth at third base -- likely filling in for Mike Moustakas when he needs a off day.

Cuthbert hit his first home run, a two-run shot, as part of a 2-for-4 game with two runs scored Tuesday against the Yankees.

EDGE Analysis

Cuthbert had three hits, all singles, in his first three major league games before breaking out with the big shot off Masahiro Tanaka to get the Royals on the board in the second inning Tuesday. The 23-year-old had seven home runs in just 24 games and a .624 slugging percentage at Triple-A before his callup, and that kind of power is why the Royals brought him up to fill in while Mike Moustakas spends the next couple weeks on the disabled list.

Cuthbert will make his second straight start at third base Sunday against the Indians.

EDGE Analysis

Cuthbert was recalled from Triple-A Omaha on Saturday after Mike Moustakas (thumb) was placed on the DL, and immediately took Moustakas' spot in the starting lineup. It's unclear if Cuthbert or Christian Colon will end up settling as the Royals' primary option at third base while Moustakas likely misses the next two-to-three weeks, but Cuthbert looks to be the frontrunner at this time. He went 1-for-4 and drove in a run in his season debut with the Royals on Saturday.

Cuthbert was recalled from Triple-A on Saturday, Jeffrey Flanagan of MLB.com reports.

EDGE Analysis

The Royals made the call to place Mike Moustakas on the DL on Saturday, so Cuthbert will come up to fill his spot on the 25-man roster. The 23-year-old infielder is hitting .333 with 28 RBI on the year at Triple-A Omaha.

Cuthbert was optioned to Triple-A Omaha Monday, Josh Vernier of 610 AM reports.

EDGE Analysis

Cheslor played 19 games for the Royals last year and recorded a .217 average over 46 plate appearances. This spring training, the 1B/3B infielder has made six plate appearances and connected on two hits for a .333 average. The 6-1 righty holds a career .259 average at the minor-league level so he will have to prove he can improve upon that before he is ready for a permanent call up to the big leagues.

Cuthbert went 2-for-3 with his first career homer, a walk and four RBI against the Tigers on Wednesday.

EDGE Analysis

Welcome back to the team, kid. Just recalled the day before from Triple-A Omaha, where the 22-year-old's delivered a fairly mediocre .277/.339/.421 line, he made a major impression. Cuthbert has the plate discipline and contact-hitting skills to hit for average in the long term, but it's questionable whether he'll develop enough power to stick at third base.
