The 26-year-old shortstop is hitting .294\/.368\/.465 to go along with 10 home runs, 19 doubles and a league leading 28 stolen bases. His 4.3 WAR is also the best in the league, as Witt makes a significant impact both offensively and defensively.<\/p>\n<p>He has finished second and fourth in American League MVP voting in each of the past two years. Witt could potentially earn the award for the first time this season if he continues performing at an elite level. However, the focus at the moment is simply on making sure that Witt is healthy.<\/p>\n<p>Advertisement<\/p>\n<div class=\"bodyad-wrapper hidden\" id=\"sda-body\">\n<p>Advertisement<\/p>\n<div class=\"body-ads\" id=\"sda-bodysda\">\n<div class=\"responsive-sda\" id=\"_R_6h1sdcaanpfiv65bH1_\">\n<p>Advertisement<\/p>\n<style type=\"text\/css\"><![CDATA[#_R_6h1sdcaanpfiv65bH1_ { display: none; }\n@media screen and (max-width: 767.95px) {\n        #_R_6h1sdcaanpfiv65bH1_ { display: flex; }\n        iframe { max-width: 100vw; }\n      }]]><\/style>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p>Updates will continue to be monitored and provided on Bobby Witt Jr.\u2019s injury status as they are made available.<\/p>\n<p><em>Related: <a target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/sports.yahoo.com\/articles\/royals-bobby-witt-jr-exits-021728996.html\" data-ylk=\"slk:Royals\u2019 Bobby Witt Jr. exits Cardinals game amid injury concern;elm:context_link;itc:0;sec:content-canvas;outcm:mb_qualified_link;_E:mb_qualified_link;ct:story;\" data-yga=\"{&quot;yLinkElement&quot;:&quot;context_link&quot;,&quot;yModuleName&quot;:&quot;content-canvas&quot;,&quot;yLinkText&quot;:&quot;Royals\u2019 Bobby Witt Jr. exits Cardinals game amid injury concern&quot;}\" class=\"link  yahoo-link\">Royals\u2019 Bobby Witt Jr. exits Cardinals game amid injury concern<\/a><\/em><\/p>\n<p><em>Related: <a target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/sports.yahoo.com\/articles\/mariners-trade-pitcher-royals-latest-224201164.html\" data-ylk=\"slk:Mariners trade pitcher to Royals with latest move;elm:context_link;itc:0;sec:content-canvas;outcm:mb_qualified_link;_E:mb_qualified_link;ct:story;\" data-yga=\"{&quot;yLinkElement&quot;:&quot;context_link&quot;,&quot;yModuleName&quot;:&quot;content-canvas&quot;,&quot;yLinkText&quot;:&quot;Mariners trade pitcher to Royals with latest move&quot;}\" class=\"link  yahoo-link\">Mariners trade pitcher to Royals with latest move<\/a><\/em><\/p>\n<\/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 sports.yahoo.com \u2019 <\/em><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Royals\u2019 Bobby Witt Jr. gets \u2018best case scenario\u2019 injury update appeared first on ClutchPoints.
