Teahen has been out of the Royals' lineup for the past two games.
Recommendation: It looks like Monday was just a "day off", while manager Trey Hillman benched him Tuesday because the Tigers threw out lefty Kenny Rogers. Teahen is mired in a 11-for-59 slump, and may be bumped from his newly-acquired leadoff role.
