KANSAS CITY, Mo. (AP) — Kansas City Royals All-Star shortstop Bobby Witt Jr. left Monday night’s 4-3 victory over the San Francisco Giants with back tightness, which also kept him out a day earlier.
Witt struck out in the first inning and walked in the third. Nick Loftin replaced him in the top of the fifth.
Witt didn’t play in Sunday’s 19-2 loss to the San Diego Padres. He is batting .279 with 13 homers, 39 RBIs and an American League-leading 30 stolen bases.
