Michael Massey Returns To Lineup Tuesday
2 years agoKansas City Royals second baseman Michael Massey is back in Tuesday's starting lineup after sitting out Monday's contest versus the Texas Rangers. In short, it's been an absolute disaster for Massey to begin the 2023 campaign. The 25-year-old is just 4-for-43 with a double across 45 trips to the plate. He's also yet to draw a walk in that time while he's struck out in 40% of his plate appearances to this point. Massey more or less held his own in his MLB debut last season with a 93 wRC+ in 52 games but his -50 wRC+ this time around is disastrous. He's flirting with a minor-league demotion at this point but will get a chance to get things turned around tonight against Rangers right-hander Nathan Eovaldi.
