In the top of the seventh inning during the Royals\u2019 matchup with the Minnesota Twins, shortstop Bobby Witt Jr. was replaced by Nick Loftin. Witt Jr. missed the rest of the game with back spasms<\/strong><\/a>.<\/p>\n

While news of a possible injury is never good, especially when it involves a team\u2019s best player, the Royals would go on to win the game 2-1. KC now sits at 72-69, just out of the final American League Wild Card spot held by the Seattle Mariners.<\/p>\n

It\u2019s unknown whether Witt Jr. will be sidelined long-term or not. The 25-year-old missed time earlier in the year with back tightness, but it\u2019s also unknown if the two issues are related.<\/p>\n
