The Royals have placed infielder Michael Massey on the Injured List due to a left ankle sprain, promoting Tyler Tolbert as his replacement. Massey struggled throughout the season with a poor batting average and the lowest wRC+ among qualified hitters. His recent performance has shown no improvement, raising the likelihood of a demotion pending his injury. Tolbert, who mainly served as a pinch runner, brings a slightly better offensive profile from Omaha, where he has established a solid performance with notable speed.
Massey's performance this year has been disappointing, with a wRC+ of only 25, making him the worst qualified hitter in baseball.
Tolbert has primarily contributed as a pinch runner this season, but his previous performance at Omaha shows potential for more impactful contributions.
