Royals' Bobby Witt: Records 30th steal Sunday
Witt went 2-for-3 with two runs scored, a steal and a walk in Sunday's 5-2 win over the Phillies.
Witt didn't drive in any runs but still made an impact offensively, reaching base three times and scoring twice. After drawing a walk in the eighth inning, the speedy shortstop swiped second base for his 30th stolen base of the season. Only Nasim Nunez (32) has more stolen bases than Witt this season. Since re-entering the lineup after dealing with a Grade 1 MCL sprain in his right knee, the 26-year-old is slashing .241/.303/.483 with two homers, four RBI, six runs and two stolen bases across eight games.

Witt (knee) is batting second as the designated hitter Friday against the White Sox.
Witt is back in the lineup for the first time since June 18, when he exited with a sprained MCL against the Cardinals.

Royals' Bobby Witt: Tracking toward return Friday
Royals manager Matt Quatraro indicated Thursday that Witt (knee) is on track to return to the lineup Friday versus the White Sox, Joel Goldberg of Bally Sports Kansas City reports.
Witt is missing a sixth straight start Thursday against the Rays as he overcomes a Grade 1 MCL sprain of his right knee. However, he went through a full pregame workout Wednesday and bounced back well Thursday. Witt should be available off the bench Thursday before returning to the lineup Friday, barring a setback.

Royals' Bobby Witt: Missing out on fifth straight start
Witt (knee) is out of the lineup for Wednesday's game against the Rays.
Though he's out of the starting nine for a fifth consecutive game while he tends to a Grade 1 MCL sprain, Witt noted that his right knee is feeling better with each passing day, per Brian Murphy of MLB.com. For the third day in a row, Witt said that he will field groundballs and hit in the batting cage prior to the game, and he expects to be available off the bench if he's needed. The Royals will likely re-evaluate Witt on Thursday before determining if he's ready to return to the lineup for the series finale in Tampa Bay, but even if he requires another day off, the two-time All-Star looks poised to avoid a stint on the injured list.

Royals' Bobby Witt: Remaining out of starting nine
Witt (knee) is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Cardinals.
A team off day Saturday didn't provide sufficient time for Witt to fully heal from a Grade 1 MCL sprain in his right knee, prompting the Royals to keep him on the bench for a second straight game. Maikel Garcia will step in at shortstop in place of Witt, who will be re-evaluated Sunday and could still avoid a stint on the injured list.

Royals' Bobby Witt: Diagnosed with Grade 1 MCL sprain
Witt has been diagnosed with a Grade 1 MCL sprain in his right knee following an MRI, Anne Rogers of MLB.com reports.
