## Resource

Bobby Witt Jr. escaped a scary knee injury with a mild Grade One MCL sprain — the best-case scenario for the Royals and the league. While his health is a major relief, the team’s season remains shaky in the AL Central, prompting speculation about trades before the deadline. Veteran pitchers Seth Lugo and Michael Wacha, plus bullpen arms, could be on the move — making Kansas City a potential trade hub even if they’re not contending.
