Kansas City Royals<\/a> fans held their collective breath on Sunday when their franchise player, Bobby Witt Jr., left the game in the seventh inning with a knee injury.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Going 0-for-4 with three strikeouts, Witt Jr. gave fans a sense of relief on his knee, as this is something the two-time All-Star has dealt with in his career.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Bobby Witt Jr. isn’t worried about his “achy” knee, but the Kansas City Royals will monitor it<\/h2>\n

\u201cI\u2019m all right,\u201d Witt said to MLB.com’s Anne Rogers<\/a>. \u201cIt was just aching all this morning. Thought I could get through today. Just kind of felt the pressure throughout [the game]. It was on my mind as I played. One of those games where I probably should have said something, but I\u2019ll be able to have the off-day tomorrow. I\u2019ve dealt with it before.\u201d<\/p>\n

The Royals do not believe there is any “structural” damage in the two-time Silver Slugger’s knee, but imaging will be done to get further “clarity” on what he’s dealing with.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Having an off day on Monday before welcoming in the Texas Rangers<\/a> for a three-game series will help Witt Jr. rest his knee and determine whether he needs more time off.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Sitting 9.5 games out of the American League Central and 12 games under .500 (27-39), the Royals can ill afford to have their best player miss time. Witt Jr. has been his usual All-Star self, batting .280 with a .810 OPS, tied with Cleveland Guardians<\/a> third baseman Jose Ramirez for the lead in the American League in steals (23) and in a three-way tie for third in doubles (17).\u00a0<\/p>\n
