KANSAS CITY, Mo. (AP) -The season is over for Kansas City second baseman Mark Grudzielanek, who was moved from the 15-day to the 60-day disabled list on Tuesday to make room on the 40-man roster.
Grudzielanek, a 12-year veteran and the Royals player of the year last season, hurt his ankle in a collision with a teammate on Aug. 1. Earlier this season, he got his 2,000th hit. He hit .299 with three homers and 24 RBIs before his injury.
Added to the roster on Tuesday from Triple-A Omaha were right-handers Yasuhiko Yabuta and Devon Lowery and infielders Kila Ka’aihue and Ryan Sheely. Also reinstated from the DL were right-handers Jimmy Gobble, Ron Mahay and John Bale. Beginning Sept. 5, Omaha manager Mike Jirschele will join the major league coaching staff.
