Massey went 3-for-3 with a solo home run in Friday's 5-0 win over the Twins.
The second baseman took rookie Zebby Matthews deep in the fourth inning, part of Massey's first multi-hit performance since Aug. 24. That brief slump has been the exception for the 26-year-old of late -- since the beginning of August, Massey is slashing .297/.330/.473 over 28 contests with nine extra-base hits, including three of his 12 homers on the year.

Royals' Michael Massey: Lifts 11th homer
Massey went 1-for-3 with a solo home run in Wednesday's 7-5 loss to the Guardians.
Massey gave the Royals a hot start, taking Tanner Bibee's fourth pitch of the game over the fence in right field. The long ball snapped a 14-game homerless drought for Massey, who still hit a strong .327 (16-for-49) with three doubles and five RBI in that span. He hasn't been an everyday player lately, but his playing time has ticked up with Adam Frazier shifting to right field to cover for the injured Hunter Renfroe (hamstring). Massey still has to contend with Maikel Garcia at second base, though Garcia can also play third and Massey occasionally serves as the designated hitter. For the season, Massey is slashing .270/.297/.472 with 11 homers, 37 RBI, 38 runs scored and no stolen bases over 72 games.

Massey went 3-for-4 in Sunday's 8-1 win over the Reds.
Massey didn't get directly involved in any of the run production, but he put in a solid game. This was his fourth multi-hit effort over his last nine games, a span in which he's gone 12-for-35 (.343) with four extra-base hits.

Royals' Michael Massey: Back in lineup
Massey (back) will start at designated hitter and bat leadoff in Monday's game versus the Twins.
Massey was scratched from the lineup ahead of Saturday's 8-3 win over the Cardinals due to back tightness. His back has often been an issue for him this season, but Massey is feeling well enough after a scheduled team off day Sunday to give it a go in the series opener in Minnesota.

Royals' Michael Massey: Scratched with back tightness
Massey was scratched from the Royals' lineup ahead of Saturday's game versus the Cardinals due to back tightness, Anne Rogers of MLB.com reports.
Massey was originally in line to start at second base, but his back injury will force him to leave the starting nine. He's being viewed as day-to-day by the team, and he'll have the benefit of a scheduled off day Sunday to give him additional time to recover. In the meantime, Maikel Garcia will move over to the keystone Saturday while Paul DeJong covers third base and bats fifth.

Royals' Michael Massey: Three hits from leadoff spot
Massey went 3-for-4 with a run scored and two RBI in Friday's 8-5 loss to the Cardinals.
Making his third straight start at second base while hitting leadoff, Massey produced his first three-hit effort since May 20. While the Royals still limit his exposure to left-handed pitchers, Massey's current form is making a strong case for him to be an everyday player. Over his last eight games, he's batting .370 (10-for-27) with two doubles, a triple, two home runs, five RBI and eight runs scored.
