The season is over for Kansas City second baseman Mark Grudzielanek.

He was moved from the 15-day to the 60-day disabled list today to make room on the 40-man roster.

Grudzielanek is a 12-year veteran and the Royals player of the year last season.

He hurt his ankle in a collision with a teammate on August 1st.

Earlier this season, he got his 2,000th hit. He hit .299 with three homers and 24 RBIs before his injury.

Added to the roster today from Triple-A Omaha were right-handers Yasuhiko Yabuta and Devon Lowery and infielders Kila Ka'aihue and Ryan Sheely.

Also reinstated from the DL were left-handers Jimmy Gobble, Ron Mahay and John Bale.

Beginning September 5th, Omaha manager Mike Jirschele will join the major league coaching staff.
