The Kansas City Star reports Royals manager Ned Yost said Tuesday that Irving Falu and Johnny Giavotella will platoon at second base in the absence of Chris Getz, who was placed on the 15-day DL on Tuesday with a rib injury. Falu started Tuesday's game against the Yankees.
Analysis: Giavotella probably would have been considered the full-time second baseman if Falu wasn't hitting so well. Unfortunately, Falu is tearing the cover off the ball and playing his way into the lineup. Giavotella is batting .313 with three RBI in his last five games, but since he isn't playing every day yet, then he is more of an AL-only Fantasy option.

Giavotella will bat leadoff for the Royals on Sunday according to Joel Goldberg on Twitter.
Spin: Manager Ned Yost continues to shuffle his lineup moving Giavotella into the top spot against left-hander Wade Miley. Johnny G has hit safely in his last four games, going 6-for-12 (.500) with three RBI.
