Records second steal
Massey went 2-for-4 with a stolen base and a run scored in Thursday's 9-4 win over the Angels.
Analysis
Massey hadn't been in the lineup since Saturday, with two of his three games out of the lineup coming against left-handed pitchers. The lefty-hitting second baseman has two multi-hit efforts over his last three games but looks set to end the year in a timeshare as the Royals also try to keep Adam Frazier and Jonathan India involved at the keystone. Massey has posted an uninspiring .233/.258/.300 slash line with three home runs, two steals, 19 RBI and 17 runs scored over 268 plate appearances this season.

Taking seat Sunday
Massey isn't in the Royals' starting lineup Sunday versus the Blue Jays.
Analysis
Massey will begin the series finale on the bench after starting each of Kansas City's past three contests at second base. Adam Frazier will cover the keystone Sunday.
