Michael Massey Returns From Injured List
1 year agoThe 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.
