## Resource

Bobby Witt Jr.’s hot streak just hit a bump—Grade One knee sprain sidelines him for Friday’s game, with IL status looming. The Royals’ shortstop is crushing it this season: 28 stolen bases, .290 AVG, 9 homers, two Gold Gloves, and on track for his third All-Star nod. But with the team at 31-45 and a $288M contract on the line, they’ll need to find a way to win without their MVP-caliber spark plug. Reevaluation Sunday could spell the next chapter.
