On Monday night, Bobby Witt Jr. exited the Kansas City Royals 4‑3 win over the San Francisco Giants with back tightness that had also sidelined him the day before.

Witt was replaced by Nick Loftin in the top of the fifth after striking out in the first and walking in the third. He also missed the 19‑2 loss to the San Diego Padres.

Offensively, the All‑Star shortstop is batting .279 with 13 homers, 39 RBI and an American League‑leading 30 stolen bases, underscoring his impact despite the injury.

The Royals will monitor his recovery as the season continues, hoping he can return to contribute to the team's offensive momentum.
