— -- CHICAGO -- The Kansas City Royals have activated third baseman Mike Moustakas from the 15-day disabled list.
The Royals optioned Cheslor Cuthbert to Triple-A Omaha on Saturday after he hit .255 in 13 starts in place of Moustakas.
Moustakas was hitting .258 with seven home runs before a small fracture in his left thumb sidelined him this month. He went 2-for-8 with three strikeouts in two rehab games for Double-A Northwest Arkansas and rejoined the Royals on Friday.
He hit 22 homers in 2015, when he was an All-Star for the first time.
