Royals add Jayson Nix to the World Series roster

jayson nix ap

Kansas City has made one change to the World Series roster, adding Jayson Nix and subtracting Christian Colon.

Colon is a 24-year-old rookie who debuted in July, whereas Nix is a 31-year-old veteran of seven seasons and eight teams. Nix is a career .212 hitter with a .627 OPS in 466 games as a big leaguer.

Nix will likely fill the same little-used utility man role that Colon did, basically serving as the emergency option at various positions if manager Ned Yost decides to make a whole bunch of late-inning moves.
