Kansas City Royals shortstop
Bobby Witt Jr. had a productive day in his team's doubleheader sweep over the Colorado Rockies on Thursday. Witt combined to go 2-for-8 with a double, three runs, an RBI, and a stolen base across both games for KC. The star infielder is off to a productive start for the Royals as he's hitting .303 with two homers, 18 runs, 10 RBI, and eight steals across 99 at-bats this season. Witt remains an everyday must-start in all fantasy leagues.

Kansas City Royals shortstop
Bobby Witt Jr. was a tough out at the plate during Sunday's game against the Baltimore Orioles. Witt went 3-for-4 with a double, triple, and run scored in the victory over the O's. This marked Witt's first three-hit game of the season and it likely won't be his last. Witt has collected a hit in every game, but one so far this season. The 24-year-old is one of the best hitters in the league and should make a case for MVP this season. He hasn't been an elite fantasy option early in the season, but this game could be Witt finally turning the corner.

Kansas City Royals star shortstop
Bobby Witt Jr. went 1-for-4 with a solo home run in Saturday's 8-1 loss to the Baltimore Orioles. Witt provided the Royals only run by smashing a shot off
Tomoyuki Sugano over the left field wall during the bottom of the sixth inning. His homer had an exit velocity of 105.2 mph at a distance of 399 feet. It was Witt's first home run of the season. Overall, the 24-year-old is slashing .242/.324/.394 with a homer, four RBI, five runs, and three stolen bases over the eight games of the season. Witt has collected a hit in seven of his last eight games and will look to build on Saturday's performance in the series finale against the Orioles on Sunday.

Kansas City Royals shortstop
Bobby Witt Jr. (forearm) is back in the team's split-squad Cactus League lineup on Saturday against the division-rival Cleveland Guardians, starting at shortstop and batting second. It comes just several days after Witt had an injury scare in Wednesday's spring game against the Seattle Mariners, when he was hit by a pitch on his left forearm by reliever
Andres Munoz. The 24-year-old All-Star was pulled from the game and underwent X-rays, which thankfully came back negative. Witt took it easy the last few days and luckily escaped with only a bruised left forearm. He's now back in the lineup and will be fine for Opening Day in a couple of weeks. Witt returns to a .276/.364/.586 slash line in spring training with two home runs and four RBI in 11 games. He's in play as the first overall pick in fantasy drafts.
