ST. LOUIS -- Lorenzo Cains hamstring injury led to a big lineup shift for the Kansas City Royals, with Kendrys Morales starting in right field for the first time since 2008 against the St. Louis Cardinals.Morales, the Royals principal designated hitter, batted third and played right field Wednesday night. Jarrod Dyson started in center in place of Cain, placed on the 15-day disabled list with a left hamstring strain.When you lose Cains bat, when you lose Morales bat coming into a National League park, thats two big bats, manager Ned Yost said. You cant do that. That made it a lot easier for me to put Mo in here.Yost said Morales gets plenty of work in the outfield shagging fly balls during batting practice, and also takes some grounders at first base. He has made 66 starts at DH and two at first base.If I wasnt comfortable with him, I wouldnt put him out there, Yost said. And he does shag like its a game in BP.The Royals considered playing Morales in the outfield last year and the manager recalls, Guys were like scoffing at it, right?But I knew he played outfield coming up in Cuba and he played center field, so hes athletic enough. He runs good routes and hell be fine out there.The team made the DL move Wednesday after an MRI revealed the damage to Cains hamstring. Yost said it was a grade 1-plus strain, meaning minor.The team anticipates Cain will be ready after the All-Star break. The Royals had 12 games remaining before then.Hopefully by then we all feel hell be really close if not ready to come back, Yost said. Its better than missing 15 games, so it does give us a little bit of a helping hand.Dyson made his fifth start in center field. He has made 21 starts in right and 12 in left.Rookie outfielder Brett Eibner was recalled from Triple-A Omaha for his third stint with the Royals this season. The 27-year-old Eibner was batting .297 in 11 games with five doubles, a home run and seven RBI for Kansas City.Cain, third in AL MVP voting last season and the 2014 ALCS MVP, was batting .290 with eight homers and 39 RBI this year.

When Michael Vick made his way onto the NFL scene, his durability, athleticism and elusiveness against pass rushers set him apart among quarterbacks. Over his 15-year career he managed 6,109 rushing yards, 36 rushing touchdowns and 133 total touchdowns.Vick, 36, is now taking the blame for setting the bar too high.Yeah, I did, Vick told the Dan Patrick Show?(around the 9:20 mark) when asked if he felt bad for embarrassing defenders on his highlight reel. Some guys tore their ACLs, sprained ankles. It wasnt the prettiest situation. There were times in game when I felt I was dominating, and I was dominating too much.And, you know, you got to tell yourself, look, you gotta keep going because theyre out to get you, he said. But there were so many games I played in where I had so much fun, even up until last year playing in Pittsburgh, I was still padding the rushing stats, padding my stats, and still putting wins in the win column.With that same confidence, Vick said that he could still beat Cam Newton in the 40-yard dash -- at age 36, no less. In 2001, Vick ran a 4.33 at his ppro day while Newton ran a 4.dddddddddddd.59 at his pro day in 2011.No, Cam cant beat me in the 40, Vick told the Charlotte Observer. But his speed is decent.Vick is currently hopeful about playing another NFL season as training camps get underway this week.Im going to continue to stay optimistic about my 2016 season and try to enjoy it, he said last week. I wouldnt say that I would go to any of the 32 teams. At this point in my career I would love to play for a contender. If anything, youve just got to be willing to make a contribution. In the NFL, thats what its all about.However if the invitation to return is not given, Vick will accept that as well.Ive got my health, Ive got my kids, Ive got my family, he said to DailyPress.com in April. The game has done so much for me in term of relationships, opportunities to take care of myself and my family. Im just thankful. I give all the credit to God.Check out the entire Dan Patrick interview here.? ' ' '
