## Resource

Royals get a reprieve on Bobby Witt Jr.’s injury—Grade 1 MCL sprain, expected to heal in 1-3 weeks, manager calls it the “best case scenario.” The star shortstop, leading MLB in fWAR and slashing .290 with 10 homers and 28 steals, went down sliding against the Cardinals. With multiple key players already sidelined—including Vinnie Pasquantino and Maikel Garcia—the team’s depth is stretched thin, forcing Tyler Tolbert into the shortstop role. While the injury stings, it’s not catastrophic—Witt’s recovery path is clear, and fans are watching closely for his return. Support the show: Get a discount at https://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
