  • Royals' Michael Massey: Sitting against Skubal

    Massey is not in the lineup for Wednesday's game against the Tigers.

    Ace lefty Tarik Skubal is getting the start for the Tigers, so the left-handed-hitting Massey will begin the contest on the bench. Maikel Garcia will handle second base as the Royals try avoid the sweep.

  • Royals' Michael Massey: Gets aboard three times

    Massey went 1-for-1 with two walks and a stolen base in Tuesday's 5-0 win over the Yankees.

    Massey got on base multiple times for just the second time over nine contests in September. He's cooled off after batting .311 in August, going 5-for-27 (.185) to open this month. Overall, the second baseman is at a .260/.291/.448 slash line with 12 home runs, one steal, 39 RBI and 40 runs scored over 301 plate appearances. Massey has picked up most of the playing time at second base recently, while Maikel Garcia and Paul DeJong compete for time at third and Adam Frazier begins most games on the bench.

  • Royals' Michael Massey: Swats 12th homer

    Massey went 3-for-3 with a solo home run in Friday's 5-0 win over the Twins.

    The second baseman took rookie Zebby Matthews deep in the fourth inning, part of Massey's first multi-hit performance since Aug. 24. That brief slump has been the exception for the 26-year-old of late -- since the beginning of August, Massey is slashing .297/.330/.473 over 28 contests with nine extra-base hits, including three of his 12 homers on the year.

  • Royals' Michael Massey: Sitting against LHP

  • Royals' Michael Massey: Lifts 11th homer

    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.

  • Royals' Michael Massey: Taking seat for Game 2 of twin bill

    Massey is out of the lineup for the second game of Monday's doubleheader with the Guardians.

  • Royals' Michael Massey: Three hits in win

    Massey went 3-for-4 in Sunday's 8-1 win over the Reds.

    Massey didn't get directly involved in any of the run production, but he put in a solid game. This was his fourth multi-hit effort over his last nine games, a span in which he's gone 12-for-35 (.343) with four extra-base hits. The second baseman is up to a .266/.289/.468 slash line with 10 home runs, 35 RBI, 34 runs scored, 11 doubles, two triples and no stolen bases through 64 games this year. Massey hasn't been a full-time player even against right-handed pitchers, as lefty Adam Frazier and righty Maikel Garcia continue to get looks at the keystone.
