The Kansas City Royals have released infielder Mike Brosseau from his minor league contract after a disappointing start to the season. Brosseau, 30, hit just .156 in 12 spring training games and .107 in 33 plate appearances with Triple-A Omaha. Despite his recent struggles, Brosseau has a solid track record in the majors, particularly against left-handed pitching. He could still find another minor league deal elsewhere.
