Navarro will start at first base and bat cleanup Monday against the Royals.

EDGE Analysis

With Miguel Cabrera serving the third game of his six-game suspension Monday, Navarro will reenter the lineup after John Hicks received the starting nod at first base Sunday against the Indians. It's expected that manager Brad Ausmus will have Navarro and Hicks split the reps at the position until Cabrera is eligible to return Saturday against the Blue Jays, giving both players a boost in short-term value.
