Witt Jr. sidelined by Grade 1 MCL sprain as Royals shuffle infield
Royals shortstop Bobby Witt Jr., an AL MVP candidate, will miss tonight’s game with a Grade 1 MCL sprain in his right knee and will be reevaluated Sunday; surgery isn’t anticipated but an IL stint could occur if inflammation worsens. Witt sustained the injury making a diving stop and is part of a Royals lineup already dealing with multiple injuries as they fight to climb back in the AL standings, while Witt has posted .294/.368/.465 with 10 homers and 28 steals this season.
