Kansas City Royals star shortstop Bobby Witt Jr. exited Wednesday’s spring training game in Peoria, Arizona, after getting hit by a fastball in ht fifth inning of a contest versus the Seattle Mariners.
However, it doesn’t seem that the infielder suffered a major injury, with Jeff Passan of ESPN reporting that Witt did not break a bone.
“Kansas City Royals star Bobby Witt Jr. did not suffer a broken bone when he was hit on the left forearm by a 96-mph fastball today, sources tell ESPN. While the timetable for his return is unclear, Witt is expected to avoid a long absence,” Passan noted on X (formerly Twitter).
