## Resource

Bobby Witt Jr. got some major relief after an MRI revealed his knee injury doesn’t require surgery — a huge win for the Royals, who’ve already lost key players to the injured list this season. Manager Matt Quatraro emphasized controlling swelling and monitoring Witt’s comfort level as next steps, with honest conversations guiding his return. Witt’s decision to stay in the game briefly after the slide was a hopeful sign, though he clearly was in pain. With a roster already thin from injuries including Pasquantino, Ragans, Bubic, Lugo, and Garcia, avoiding a Witt setback was critical. He’s been a cornerstone performer, hitting well and anchoring the shortstop position. The team will reassess him Sunday — and fans are breathing a sigh of relief.
