Massey went 1-for-3 with a solo home run in Wednesday's 7-5 loss to the Guardians.

Massey gave the Royals a hot start, taking Tanner Bibee's fourth pitch of the game over the fence in right field. The long ball snapped a 14-game homerless drought for Massey, who still hit a strong .327 (16-for-49) with three doubles and five RBI in that span. He hasn't been an everyday player lately, but his playing time has ticked up with Adam Frazier shifting to right field to cover for the injured Hunter Renfroe (hamstring). Massey still has to contend with Maikel Garcia at second base, though Garcia can also play third and Massey occasionally serves as the designated hitter. For the season, Massey is slashing .270/.297/.472 with 11 homers, 37 RBI, 38 runs scored and no stolen bases over 72 games.
