Michael Massey Stats

The Kansas City Royals activated second baseman Michael Massey (hand) from the 10-day injured list on Tuesday and also recalled right-hander Jonathan Heasley from Triple-A Omaha. In corresponding moves, the team optioned left-hander Austin Cox and infielder/outfielder Samad Taylor to Omaha. Massey returned to the starting lineup immediately on Tuesday, as he started at second base and hit seventh in the lineup against the Minnesota Twins. The 25-year-old second-year big-league player didn't hit all that well in June to drop his season slash line to just .217/.279/.315 with four home runs, 20 RBI, three stolen bases and 15 runs scored in 60 games. Fantasy managers in deeper leagues will be hoping Massey can get things going again after missing two-plus weeks with a left-hand laceration.

Kansas City Royals second baseman Michael Massey (finger) is set to begin a minor league rehab assignment on Friday. Massey was hopeful to avoid doing a rehab assignment, but it appears he'll do one after all. The 25-year-old has been sidelined since mid-June due to a finger laceration. The hope is that Massey is ready by the beginning of next week. Until then, Nicky Lopez is expected to continue getting extended playing time at second base.

Kansas City Royals infielder Michael Massey (finger) was placed on the 10-day injured list last week. He has been dealing with a left hand laceration, but might be able to return sooner than expected. The 25-year-old is scheduled to take batting practice prior to Tuesday's game against the Cleveland Guardians. If all goes well, Massey might be allowed to skip a minor league rehab assignment. That would allow him to return to the Royals roster at some point this week. Fantasy managers will have to stay tuned for another update on his status. In the meantime, Nicky Lopez will cover second base and bat eighth versus right-hander Gavin Williams on Tuesday.
