Michael Wacha gave the Royals another solid start on Friday.<\/a><\/p>\n \u201cWhen we see Wacha was going to pitch, we feel like we\u2019re going to win every single game,\u201d Garcia said. He shows up every night. He throws a lot of pitches and he executes every pitch \u2014 changeups, sinkers, cutters. And that\u2019s great to have Wacha here. He did a great job today and all season long.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/blockquote>\n Bobby Witt Jr. exited last night\u2019s game early with back spasms<\/a>.<\/p>\n It was not immediately clear when Witt felt the spasms during the game. He took an at-bat in the bottom of the fifth inning and struck out against Twins starter Pablo L\u00f3pez, swinging at a changeup that dove below the zone. Witt jogged out to shortstop like normal for the top of the sixth and helped record two outs, first ranging to his left on Luke Keaschall\u2019s grounder slightly up the middle to begin the frame and then fielding Matt Wallner\u2019s chopper near second base to get the Royals out of a jam and keep their one-run lead intact.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/blockquote>\n Cole Ragans will begin a rehab assignment on Sunday.<\/a><\/p>\n Ragans could potentially return to the Majors built up to three or four innings or on a specific pitch count, with the Royals making sure their bullpen is ready to cover the innings after he exits.<\/p>\n \u201cWe know we don\u2019t have the time to get him built up to five or six innings,\u201d Quatraro said. \u201cSo when he feels well, we\u2019re hopeful to get him back.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/blockquote>\n David Lesky writes about the comeback win on Thursday.<\/a><\/p>\n I don\u2019t think anyone can pretend like the offense is fixed in a game where they only got five hits, but they did show the power of both the long ball and the main character in this one. They\u2019re now 29-6 when they hit multiple home runs in a game. They\u2019re 13-0 when they hit three or more. They\u2019re 6-0 when they hit four or more. You don\u2019t have to get many hits when you hit the ball over the wall. It\u2019s the ultimate cheat code for a team struggling to get hits. And when they can do it, great. The question is if it\u2019ll propel them into something bigger. We\u2019ve seen Pasquantino and Perez get on a roll and get going, so maybe that happens. Maybe Witt finally gets Bobby Hot.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/blockquote>\n Craig Brown writes about how Bobby rose to meet the moment<\/a>.<\/p>\n In the aftermath of the Royals 4-3 loss on Wednesday, Bobby Witt Jr. stood at his locker and took the blame. It was his inability to make a defensive play in the eighth that proved decisive. It\u2019s the standup thing to do in that moment, but to point the finger at Witt in a loss is a bit extreme. Yes, that was a big moment in the race to the playoffs, but when we\u2019re settling up accounts at the end of the season, Witt will have provided much more winning moments than the one that happened at shortstop in the second game of this series.<\/p>\n Witt is a superstar. He does superstar things.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/blockquote>\n Houston\u2019s Taylor Trammell used an illegal bat, but MLB rules it did not give him an advantage<\/a>.<\/p>\n Advertisement<\/p>\n Quinn Priester sets a Brewers record by winning his 11th consecutive decision.<\/a><\/p>\n Remembering Cal Ripken\u2019s record-setting consecutive games played streak<\/a>.<\/p>\n The Mets demote struggling starter Kodai Senga.<\/a><\/p>\n The ten most important players for September<\/a>.<\/p>\n Aaron Judge is back in right field<\/a><\/p>\n Is Jordan Walker still a core player in St. Louis<\/a>?<\/p>\n How can the Rockies rebuild their team<\/a>?<\/p>\n All 30 teams will bring awareness to childhood cancer this Sunday<\/a>.<\/p>\n Who have been the best September callups that were making their MLB debut<\/a>?<\/p>\n Caitlin Clark will miss the remainder of the WNBA season<\/a>.<\/p>\n The Chiefs lose their season opener<\/a> against the Chargers in Brazil.<\/p>\n Advertisement<\/p>\n Video game publisher 2K Sports confirms they are developing a college basketball game<\/a>.<\/p>\n The world\u2019s biggest iceberg has broken up.<\/a><\/p>\n Can drones solve Mount Everest\u2019s poop problem<\/a>?<\/p>\n\n
