Witt Exits Game Again as Back Trouble Lingers

Another Scare for the Royals Star

Bad news hit the Kansas City Royals again. All-Star shortstop Bobby Witt Jr. left Monday night's game early. He was bothered by back tightness during the contest. The team still managed a narrow 4-3 victory over the San Francisco Giants. But the win feels hollow without their biggest star on the field. Fans watched him walk off the field with clear discomfort. This isn't the first time his back has acted up. The timing is terrible for a playoff push. Every game matters now, and losing him is a huge blow.
