Kansas City, MO —
The Royals have activated second baseman Chris Getz from the 15-day disabled list and optioned second baseman Johnny Giavotella to Triple-A Omaha.
The Royals made the moves before tonight's game against Milwaukee.
Getz has been out with bruised ribs since colliding with the Orioles' Chris Davis. He was placed on the disabled list May 22 and began a rehab assignment last Thursday.
Getz had been having the best season of his five-year career before getting hurt, batting .277 with eight RBIs and six stolen bases.
Giavotella is widely considered the Royals' second baseman of the future. The 24-year-old was hitting just .217 with six RBIs in 21 games this season.
