Summary
The Royals dropped another heartbreaker, losing 5-3 to the Rays after a disastrous third inning fueled by a first baseman’s throwing error. Bobby Witt Jr. remains sidelined for his fifth straight game with a Grade 1 MCL sprain, though he’s improving daily and available off the bench. Meanwhile, Kris Bubic made his first rehab start for Triple-A Omaha, tossing a clean first inning, but his recovery continues after setbacks with elbow and shoulder issues. On the bright side, top prospects Kendry Chourio and David Shields made their High-A debuts — both 19 or younger — signaling a promising future despite the team’s current struggles.
