Player Notes

July 3, 2008
Billy Butler is serving as the Royals designated hitter in the final tilt of a four-game series in Baltimore.

July 1, 2008
Billy Butler started at DH for the first time in three games on Monday since being recalled from Triple-A and he went 3-for-5 at the plate, according to the Kansas City Star.

June 28, 2008
Billy Butler was recalled from Triple-A Omaha for Saturdays game. He opened the season with the Royals but was optioned May 29 to the team's top affiliate after batting .263 with one homer and 18 RBIs in 53 games.

June 18, 2008
Billy Butler is batting .394 with a 1.089 OPS since being demoted to Triple-A Omaha in late May, and he may return to Kansas City soon. "Hes continuing to swing the bat well," manager Trey Hillman informs the Kansas City Star. "Thats good for us. At some point, well look to get him back up here. When thats going to happen, I cant tell you. Reports are good."

May 29, 2008
In a somewhat shocking development, Royals DH Billy Butler has been sent back to Triple-A to find his lost stroke at the plate, according to MLB.com. Mike Aviles, Triple-A Omaha's hottest hitter with a .338 average and 42 RBI, was called up for the first time in his career to take the open roster spot.
