Bobby Witt Jr. Exits Wednesday's Game Early
19 mins agoKansas City Royals shortstop Bobby Witt Jr. (hand, wrist) was forced from Wednesday's Cactus League outing against the Seattle Mariners after being hit by a pitch in his hand/wrist area. Anne Rogers of MLB.com reported the news. The severity of the injury is currently unknown, but the former first-round pick is set to undergo further evaluation. This isn't ideal, as the 24-year-old superstar is a consensus top-three pick in fantasy drafts and a candidate to go first overall in some formats. It's possible that the Royals pulled him out of precaution, but any injury to the hand/wrist area is unfavorable. Any missed time by Witt Jr. would be a blow to the team and, depending on the duration could drop him down in fantasy drafts. We'll likely learn more over the next 24 hours. Sit tight.
