Orioles hitting coach Jim Presley said Saturday that David Lough could be used as the team's leadoff hitter when he's in the lineup. When asked about the possibility, Presley noted, "He runs well enough and he bunts and he can do a lot of things so I do like him there." The 28-year-old outfielder has a bit of power and a bit of speed, but won't be relevant in mixed leagues unless he seizes an everyday job in the Orioles outfield which isn't likely to occur.

Orioles acquired OF David Lough from the Royals for INF Danny Valencia.

David Lough (quad) is back in the Royals' starting lineup on Wednesday evening against the Twins. Lough missed two games with tightness in his right quad. He is batting leadoff and playing right field Wednesday against Minnesota's Samuel Deduno.

David Lough is day-to-day with right quad tightness. Lough expected to miss the next two games after exiting Sunday with a quad injury. Justin Maxwell and Jarrod Dyson should platoon in right field in his absence.

David Lough left Sunday's game against the Mets with right quad tightness. It's not clear at this point how long the ailment might sideline him. Jarrod Dyson replaced him in right field.

David Lough went 2-for-3 with a solo homer, helping to power the Royals to a 5-1 victory over the White Sox on Friday. The 27-year-old outfielder has been terrific in his first extended opportunity in the major leagues. Through 54 games, he's hitting .304/.320/.454 with four homers, 21 RBI and a pair of stolen bases.

David Lough went 3-for-4 with a run scored Thursday against the Yankees. Lough now has a .297/.315/.449 batting line through 162 plate appearances this season. Royals manager Ned Yost is currently using a rotation between right and center field, but the 27-year-old outfielder is relevant in deeper daily fantasy leagues at the moment.

David Lough went 4-for-4 with a homer and three RBI as the Royals beat the Twins 9-8 on Sunday. Lough doubled in the third, fourth and sixth innings and then launched a home run to right field in the eighth. It was a massive afternoon for the 27-year-old outfielder, who is now batting .314 with an .807 OPS in 54 games this season. If he finds a little more playing time, he could take on value in deeper mixed fantasy formats.

David Lough hit his first major league home run on Tuesday but it wasn't enough as the Royals lost to the Tigers. It was quite a feat, too, as Lough took one of the best pitchers in the game, Max Scherzer, deep. The outfielder has provided a spark to the Royals since being called up and could pop a few more to go along with a couple stolen bases, but he likely won't hit enough to garner much attention in fantasy leagues.

David Lough (wrist) returned to the Royals' lineup Tuesday. Lough was hit by a pitch Saturday, but only ended up missing one game. He went 0-for-3 in the loss and has just one hit in his last 12 plate appearances.
