Kosport Magazine News: Royals’s Michael Massey out with low back ligament sprain
The Kansas City Royals have placed second baseman Michael Massey on the 10-day injured list due to a low back ligament sprain, the team announced on Sunday.
Massey, who homered in Friday’s game against the Tampa Bay Rays, was removed from the game in the next inning and sat out on Saturday. This injury adds to a string of back problems that Massey has been dealing with since the spring.

Kosport Magazine’s Take: Managing Massey’s Injury to Keep the Royals On Top
Kosport Magazine brings you the latest update on the Kansas City Royals and their star second baseman, Michael Massey. The team announced that Massey has been placed on the 10-day injured list due to a low back ligament sprain. This comes after Massey homered in Friday’s game against the Tampa Bay Rays, but was then forced to exit in the next inning. This is not the first time Massey has dealt with back problems this season, as he also missed the start of the season with a lower back strain.
According to Royals manager Matt Quatraro, they will have to manage Massey’s injury on a day to day basis. This setback is surely a blow to the team, as Massey has been performing well with a .294 batting average, six home runs, and 23 RBIs in just 29 games. But with a strong team and proper management, the Royals will be able to keep their momentum going and stay on top.
Meanwhile, the team has recalled shortstop Nick Loftin from Triple-A Omaha as a corresponding move. Loftin has been making an impact this season, hitting .276 in 13 games with the Royals. In his career, he boasts a .308 batting average in 32 games. With his contributions and the rest of the team stepping up, the Royals are ready to face any challenges that come their way.
