Witt Jr. Leaves Game Again with Back Tightness | Kansas City Royals News

Bobby Witt Jr. had to exit Monday’s game early due to back tightness — a familiar issue he’s battled before — despite playing through the first four innings and even drawing a walk in the third. He’d told the team he felt fine to play, and after medical clearance, he’d started the game batting second and playing shortstop. The team hasn’t confirmed a specific reason for his removal, but it’s likely tied to the same back discomfort that sidelined him Sunday. He was set to bat first in the bottom of the fifth, but another player took his place. Fans will be watching closely to see when — and if — he returns to the field.
