Overview
- Witt delivered a ninth-inning go-ahead single on Saturday that broadcasters credited as his 400th career RBI before leaving the next game with knee trouble.
- He exited the seventh inning of Sunday's 6-5 Royals win over the Twins with right knee soreness and did not return to the game.
- The Royals said they do not suspect structural damage and will perform imaging to get further clarity on the injury.
- Witt told MLB.com that his knee had been “aching,” said he was “all right,” and plans to use the off-day to rest while his status is evaluated day-to-day.
- Witt is the club’s primary offensive catalyst on a below-.500 team, so his availability for the homestand opener against Texas and the short-term roster picture will shape Kansas City’s immediate chances.
