Placed on concussion IL
The Royals placed Massey on the 7-day concussion injured list Thursday.
Análisis
Massey sat out Wednesday's game after he fell and hit his head while making a throw to first base during Tuesday's contest, and he'll officially remain out of action for at least a week after being diagnosed with a concussion. Tyler Tolbert figures to take over as Kansas City's primary second baseman while Massey is sidelined, and Josh Rojas will come up from Triple-A to replenish the team's infield depth.

Leaves game early
Massey was removed from Tuesday's game against the Blue Jays due to a head injury.
Análisis
Massey hit the ground hard after making a leaping throw to first base in the fifth inning and was immediately replaced at second by Tyler Tolbert. The Royals say that Massey is already feeling better, but he may still be evaluated for a concussion as a precaution. If he ends up needing to miss additional time, Tolbert figures to be the next man up for starts at the keystone.
