Kansas City Royals shortstop Bobby Witt Jr. leaves a game against the St. Louis Cardinals with knee discomfort. In the series opener, Witt hits a home run as part of Kansas City’s offense in a 14-6 win, but exits early after reporting a sore right knee. One report says Witt makes a sliding play in the field with runners on base, getting checked by Royals staffers before staying in the game for the remainder of his half inning. Multiple outlets describe the issue as leg or knee discomfort and note it is added to the team’s existing injury list. The coverage focuses on the timing and nature of the injury during Thursday’s game, with no specific return timetable included in the provided reports. The Royals continue the game without him afterward, while the team’s broader injury status remains in the background as they take the opener and offense continues to surge.
