Royals general manager Dayton Moore announced Thursday that manager Trey Hillman has been fired and Ned Yost will replace him.
Hillman, 47, was 151-207 in two-plus seasons with Kansas City. The Royals got off to a rough start this year and are 12-23 and in last place in the American League Central.
Yost, 55, managed the Milwaukee Brewers from 2003-2008, where he was 457-502 (.477 winning pct.) before being relieved of his duties on Sept. 15, 2008. He joined the Royals as a special advisor in January.
Moore announced the move after the Royals beat the Cleveland Indians 6-4 and Zack Greinke picked up his first victory of the season.
