DeJong is out of the lineup for Wednesday's game against the Red Sox.
DeJong will take a seat for the third game in a row, including a second straight matchup versus a right-hander (Kutter Crawford). Though he's produced a home run and two walks in his four starts since joining the Royals a week ago, DeJong looks like he'll have to settle for more of a part-time role in Kansas City while he's part of a much more talented infield than the one he occupied in Chicago earlier in the season.
