The Royals made a series of moves on Monday in an attempt to wake up an offense that has scored just 11 runs in the last seven games and is currently scoreless over the last 22 innings. Returning to the lineup is Michael Massey, who had been out for the last month with a back injury. The Royals also called up infielder C.J. Alexander from Omaha and placed Adam Frazier on the Injured List and optioned outfielder Nelson Velázquez to Omaha. To make room on the 40-man roster, the Royals designated pitcher Jake Brentz for assignment.
Alexander was originally acquired from the Braves in the trade that netted them Drew Waters.
