Bobby Witt Jr. was pulled from his game against the Giants after just four innings due to recurring low back tightness — the same issue that sidelined him the previous night against the Padres. Despite returning to the lineup, he made only one defensive play before being removed, as the Royals’ manager continues to prioritize his long-term health. This marks another setback for the star shortstop, who’s already missed time this season due to a knee injury and hasn’t quite regained his pre-injury form at the plate — though his power and speed still shine. With the Royals currently out of playoff contention, the team is wisely taking a cautious approach, allowing Witt to heal without rushing his return.
