Rest-of-Season Projections
2023 Fantasy Outlook
Massey was promoted for his big-league debut in July and quickly returned to the minors, but he was promoted again a few weeks later and remained with Kansas City for the rest of the campaign. The 2019 fourth-round pick had a .243/.307/.376 slash line with four home runs, 17 RBI and three stolen bases in 52 games and primarily played second base. He had a solid 13 percent barrel rate and .450 xSLG, so he showcased some pop in his first taste of MLB action. Massey's potential for counting stats is limited given Kansas City's lineup, but he should receive the opportunity to establish himself at the keystone in 2023 given the current state of the roster.

Swats fourth homer
Massey went 2-for-3 with a two-run home run and a walk in Monday's 7-0 win over the Cardinals.
ANALYSIS
Massey provided the Royals' last runs with his ninth-inning blast. The second baseman has multiple hits in each of his last four starts, and he's now hitting .324 (22-for-68) in May, albeit with a 9:20 BB:K for the month. He's up to a .240 batting average with four homers, 17 RBI, 15 runs scored and three stolen bases through 48 contests while mainly seeing a strong-side platoon role at the keystone.
