SURPRISE, Ariz. (AP) — Third baseman Mike Moustakas, the second overall pick in the 2007 draft, was among seven players reassigned to minor league camp Thursday by the Kansas City Royals.
Also sent down were outfielder David Lough, who hit .325 last season and was the Royals’ 2009 minor league player of the year, and left-hander Danny Duffy, who pitched in the Futures All-Star Game and was 9-3 with a 2.98 ERA with Single-A Wilmington.
Other players sent to the minor league camp were outfielder David Robinson, first baseman Ernest Mejia, infielder Mario Lisson and catcher Steve Lerud.
All seven players were non-roster invitees.
The Royals have 58 players left in camp.
