Bobby Witt Jr. is back on the field after a two-week back injury layoff, bringing his stellar season stats—30 stolen bases, 13 homers, and 39 RBIs—to the Royals’ lineup. Manager Matt Quatraro is monitoring his return carefully, adjusting workload based on game length, weather, and Witt’s feedback to avoid overexertion. Meanwhile, the pitching staff takes a major hit as right-handers Luinder Avila and Stephen Kolek both undergo Tommy John surgery this week. In response, the Royals bolstered their bullpen by calling up Jose Cuas (solid ERA) and claiming lefty Connor Thomas off waivers, while releasing underperforming shortstop Andrew Velazquez and pitcher Matt Strahm.
