KANSAS CITY, Mo. \u2014 Another Kansas City Royals starting pitcher is now missing time due to injury, the team announced on Tuesday.<\/p>\n

Bobby Witt Jr. is also back in the lineup after missing the last three games due to back spasms. This will be a huge boost for a Royals offense that has struggled immensely in his absence.<\/p>\n

With Wacha\u2019s injury, this now means that all five of the Royals starting have spent time on the IL this season. RHP Seth Lugo was placed on the 15-day IL last week due to a lower back strain.<\/p>\n

RHP Cole Ragans was placed on the 60-day IL back in July and is currently on a rehab assignment with Omaha. He is likely to return soon.<\/p>\n

On the season, Wacha is 9-11 with a 3.45 ERA, 117 strikeouts and 41 walks.<\/p>\n
