Bobby Witt Jr. Continues To Struggle
Bobby Witt Jr. went 0-for-3 with a strikeout in Thursday's 4-3 extra-innings win over the Cleveland Guardians. Witt Jr. didn't contribute much in the Royals' narrow win over their division rival and he's slashing just .192/.267/.231 over his last seven games (26 at-bats). While June was his best month as far as batting average and on-base percentage are concerned (.274/.333 over 95 at-bats), it was his worth month in terms of power. He's gone deep just twice and owns a lackluster .379 over the month. Overall, the 23-year-old is slashing .241/.286/.415 with 12 home runs, 38 RBI, and 23 stolen bases across 323 at-bats. The game-to-game results can be frustrating for fantasy managers but better days are ahead for Witt Jr.

Bobby Witt Jr. Hits Walk-Off Single On Tuesday
Bobby Witt Jr. went 1-for-5 with an RBI single during their victory over the Chicago White Sox on Tuesday evening. Witt played the hero as he hit a single in the final frame, which brought home the game-winning run. This was Witt's third-straight game tallying an RBI and a hit. After going hitless in just two games following his impressive 22-game hitting streak, it appears the 24-year-old superstar has gotten right back on track. During his 22-game hitting streak, Witt held a stellar .362/.442/.550 slash line with nine doubles, two home runs, and six stolen bases. Under the hood, Witt has generated an elite .380 xwOBA with a .308 xBA, which are both well above the average marks. He remains a high-end option in all formats given his five-category production.
