"With second baseman Chris Getz returning from the disabled list, fan favorite Johnny Giavotella was optioned back to Class AAA Omaha on Tuesday to make room on the active roster. Getz, who went one for three with a key sacrifice in the eighth inning in Tuesday night's 2-1 win over Milwaukee, suffered a rib injury May 16 in a loss at Baltimore. He re-aggravated the injury May 21 against the Yankees, landing him on the 15-day DL. Giavotella failed to capitalize in Getz's absence, batting only .222 with two doubles and three RBIs in his last 13 games. "(Having Getz back) improves our defense a little bit and he's a bit of a table-setter for us," manager Ned Yost said. Before the injury, Getz was batting .287 with a career-best .386 slugging percentage. He went eight for 19 with two doubles, a triple and six RBIs in five rehab starts with the Storm Chasers."
