Royals Activate Michael Massey, Option Nick Loftin to Triple-A

The versatile bat returns from a calf strain to add lineup flexibility.

Overview

  • The Royals activated utility man Michael Massey from the 10-day injured list Monday after a three-game rehab stint at Triple-A Omaha.
  • Kansas City optioned Nick Loftin to Omaha in the corresponding move after four appearances and a 2-for-9 start.
  • Massey missed the first nine games with a calf strain and went 3-for-12 with a home run on rehab.
  • He can play second base, third base and left field, while Jonathan India has handled most second base reps and Isaac Collins has worked in left.
  • The club is 4-5 heading into a series with the Guardians after dropping a set to the Brewers, so they are looking for a boost at the plate.
