Royals place Michael Massey on injured list, recall Tyler Tolbert before series-opener vs Yankees

KANSAS CITY, Mo. — The Royals placed second baseman Michael Massey on the 10-day injured list with a sprained left ankle and recalled utility man Tyler Tolbert from Triple-A Omaha before starting a three-game series against the Yankees on Tuesday night. Massey had served as the designated hitter on Saturday against the White Sox but did not finish the game, and he was out of the lineup for the series finale . He is hitting just .202 with two homers and 14 RBIs in 56 games this season. 'The same ankle injury that he's been dealing with since the last homestand. It's just not getting any better, or it's not improving enough to go out there and play at a high level,' Royals manager Matt Quatraro said. 'He got an MRI to show that things weren't healing as well as we would like. So, we needed to make a move to get him some rest.' In other news, the Royals expect to have reliever Lucas Erceg back before they wrap up their series against New York. He threw a clean inning against Omaha on Sunday night as he works his way back from a lower back strain. Erceg has appeared in 24 games with a 1.96 ERA for Kansas City this season. ___ AP MLB:

Royals ace Cole Ragans will return soon. Here is the latest regarding his groin injury

The Kansas City Royals' starting rotation is nearing full strength. Royals ace Cole Ragans is set to make a rehab start on Saturday. Ragans, who has dealt with a left groin strain, will join Double-A Northwest Arkansas and is expected to throw around three to four innings. Advertisement 'He's also continued to throw the whole time so his arm is in a good spot,' Royals manager Matt Quatraro said. 'Just hoping he stresses the leg enough to make sure that he is good. He really has been getting on it in the bullpen. Don't really anticipate anything. He just needs to get back out there on the mound.' Ragans is eligible to return from the 15-day injured list on June 1. The Royals have filled the void with rookie sensation Noah Cameron. In four starts, Cameron has a 1.05 ERA and 16 strikeouts. On Friday, Royals star Seth Lugo returns to the mound. He will start against the Detroit Tigers at Kauffman Stadium. He missed his last two starts due to right middle finger inflammation. Lugo isn't expected to face any restrictions. He was reinstated from the 15-day injured list and should see his usual amount of work. In a corresponding move, the Royals placed top reliever Lucas Erceg on the injured list with low back spasms. 'He kept throwing, stressing his arm and getting off the mound,' Quatraro said of Lugo. 'Just long toss and all that kind of stuff, so he felt pretty good about it.'
