| 4/25/25 | Royals 'Must Consider' Lineup Demotion For Slumping 27-Year-Old, Writer Claims. The Kansas City Royals' offensive struggles have been so wide-reaching, it's hard to know who to hold accountable.

On Friday, Oliver Vandervoort of FanSided asserted that the Royals "must consider" relegating Massey to the bench, perhaps putting Jonathan India back at his natural second base position rather than switching him between left field and third base.

| 4/15/25 | Yankees phenom passes latest test — but there's more room to grow. With one catch, Jasson Domínguez silenced the many questions about his defensive capabilities that loomed over him entering this season. Effortlessly launching himself in the air and contorting his body, Domínguez nabbed a hard hit ball off the bat of Royals' Michael Massey in the top of the fourth inning of the Yankees' eventual 4-1 win over Kansas City. It was the type of play that would typically give Domínguez trouble — and it wouldn't be the last that he handled masterfully Monday night. It was a busy evening for Domínguez, who recorded the most put outs in one game in his major-league career. Source: https://www.nj.com/yankees/2025/04/yankees-phenom-... |
