Witt, who\u2019s batting .294 with 10 homers, has been dealing with knee soreness this season. He also exited early during a June 7 game against the Twins but was back in the lineup for the next game, following an off day. He\u2019s played all 76 games this season.<\/p>\n<p>Ravaged by injuries, the Royals are currently without Vinnie Pasquantino (right hand), Kyle Isbel (plantar fasciitis), Jonathan India (left shoulder), and pitchers Cole Ragans (left elbow) and Kris Bubic (left elbow). All-Star Maikel Garcia is day-to-day with a left hand issue, but veteran right-hander Seth Lugo is slated to start Friday for the first time since taking a line drive to the forehead on June 10.<\/p>\n<p>\u2014 Field Level Media<\/p>\n<div class=\"article__author--mobile\">\n<div class=\"article__author-profile\">\n<div class=\"author__avatar\">\n                                                                            <\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div>\n<p><em> \u2018 The preceding article may include information circulated by third parties \u2019 <\/em><\/p>\n<p><em> \u2018 Some details of this article were extracted from the following source fieldlevelmedia.com \u2019 <\/em><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Royals shortstop Bobby Witt Jr. exited in the fourth inning with right knee discomfort Thursday night against the St. Louis Cardinals in Kansas City.
