Royals' Michael Massey: Makes return from IL
The Kansas City Royals reinstated Michael Massey (wrist/ankle/back) from the 10-day injured list Monday.Massey will make his return to the Royals for the first time since early June, after he was initially deactivated due to a left ankle sprain before being pulled off two separate rehab assignments on account of a fractured right wrist and a tight back. He began a third rehab assignment Aug. 9 and emerged from his two-week stint in the minors unscathed while slashing .245/.310/.415 with a pair of home runs in 12 games for Triple-A Omaha. With Kansas City optioning John Rave to Triple-A in a corresponding move, the left-handed-hitting Massey could be in line for a regular spot in the lineup versus righties, though he may eventually move to the bench on a more frequent basis once the Royals reinstate Jac Caglianone (hamstring) from the IL.

Royals' Michael Massey: Enjoys productive weekend in minors
Michael Massey (wrist/ankle/back) has slashed .245/.310/.415 with two home runs, three doubles and a 4:14 BB:K in 12 games since beginning a rehab assignment with Triple-A Omaha on Aug. 9.Initially placed on the 10-day injured list June 10 due to a left ankle sprain, Massey then sustained a hairline fracture to his right wrist while rehabbing with Omaha in late June. He started up a new rehab assignment after the All-Star break, only to be shut down again when he developed back tightness. Now in the midst of his third rehab assignment, Massey is looking healthy and turned in a productive weekend with Omaha, going 4-for-14 with a pair of home runs and a double from Friday through Sunday. He's been rotating between second base and left field during his time in the minors and could contend for playing time at either position with the Kansas City Royals once he's activated from the IL.
