Michael Massey Unlikely to Play for Royals Due to Undisclosed Injury

Michael Massey's possible absence could impact the Royals' lineup as he has been a consistent presence at second base. In 51 games this season, Massey has contributed 39 hits with a batting average of .212. His recent performance shows a slight improvement, batting .250 over the last five games.

Without Massey, the Royals may miss his left-handed hitting against the Cincinnati Reds. In home games, Massey has a batting average of .213, providing some offensive support. Teammates like Bobby Witt Jr. and Vinnie Pasquantino might need to step up to fill any gaps left by his absence.
