Loftin is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Phillies.
After missing a game last weekend due to a bruised groin, Loftin started at third base in each of the Royals' ensuing four contests and went 1-for-12 with two walks and an RBI. Loftin will head to the bench Sunday in what looks to be nothing more than a rest day, paving the way for Josh Rojas to pick up a start at the hot corner.
