Michael Massey to Begin Rehab Assignment Friday
The Kansas City Royals expect second baseman/outfielder Michael Massey (ankle, hand) to begin a rehab assignment with Double-A Northwest Arkansas on Friday, the team announced. The Royals have gone over a month without Massey, who sprained his ankle June 7 and hasn't played since. Massey had been rehabbing the injury in the minors, but he suffered a hairline wrist fracture on a hit by pitch on June 29 and had to be shut down. Between the poor injury luck and his woeful numbers, this has been a season to forget for Massey. The 27-year-old has only managed to hit .202/.221/.258 with two home runs in 209 plate appearances, which is a key reason why the Royals rank toward the bottom of the majors in second base production.
