KANSAS CITY, Mo. (KCTV) - Kansas City Royals second baseman Michael Massey will make his return to the field defensively Thursday night in the Royals’ final game of a 10-game homestand.
Massey went on the injured list in May with lower back tightness and returned to the Kansas City lineup as a designated hitter in his past seven games with the Royals.
The Royals said Massey would ease his way back into playing defensively when he returned from the injured list on June 24.
