The Kansas City Royals place Alberto Callaspo on the D.L.

The Royals have placed infielder Alberto Callaspo on the 15-day disabled list due to an unknown injury. Maybe the injury is a brain cramp as it occurs 1 day after he was arrested for a DUI which he spent 7 hours in jail before making bond. Callaspo has played in 42 games for the Royals this season and he is 29 for 100 (.290 avg, .679 OPS) with 8 runs scored and 4 RBIs. The Royals have recalled 1B/DH Billy Butler and they plan on playing him every day. Butler played in 53 games for the Royals earlier this season and he was 49 for 186 (.263 avg, .669 OPS) with 12 runs scored, 1 homer and 18 RBIs. But, after his demotion he found his swing and that’s why he is back. Butler played in 26 games in AAA ball after his demotion and he was 34 for 101 (.337 avg, .981 OPS) with 18 runs scored, 5 homers and 13 RBIs. Look for Butler to hit much better this time around for the Royals.
