Three hits in loss Franco went 3-for-4 with an RBI in Monday's 5-2 loss to Cleveland.

Impact The 28-year-old has hit safely in five straight games and 10 of his last 11, going 15-for-44 (.341) with one homer and six RBI. With Franco now hitting third in the order for the Royals, however, his run production should pick up if he can stay hot at the plate.

Moves into three hole Franco will start at third base and will bat third Monday against the Indians, Lynn Worthy of The Kansas City Star reports.

Impact Franco will slot into the three hole for the second game in a row, but he'll likely move down a spot or two in the order once Jorge Soler (oblique) -- who is considered day-to-day -- returns from injury. The third baseman hasn't hit a home run in his last eight games, but he's slashed a respectable .300/.364/.400 over that stretch.
