Royals' Bobby Witt Jr. leaves game with knee discomfort after making sliding play in the field
Witt was 2-for-2 with a homer and RBI single before the Royals said his exit was due to right knee discomfort.
- On Thursday, Kansas City Royals shortstop Bobby Witt Jr. exited the fourth inning with right knee discomfort after fielding a grounder by St. Louis' Jordan Walker against the Cardinals in Kansas City.
- The injury struck the same right knee that sidelined Witt with soreness during a June 7 win over the Minnesota Twins, though manager Matt Quatraro previously said there was nothing structurally hurt.
- Before departing, the 25-year-old All-Star went 2 for 2 with a solo home run and an RBI single, extending his season line to.294 with 10 homers and 32 RBIs across 76 games.
- Utility man Tyler Tolbert replaced Witt in the lineup as the Royals face depleted depth, with All-Star Maikel Garcia sidelined on the injured list due to a left hand strain.
- Kansas City entered Thursday 9.5 games out of first place in the AL Central, ravaged by injuries to Vinnie Pasquantino, Cole Ragans, and Kris Bubic amid the team's mounting roster crisis.
