Episode Details

The Royals pulled off a gritty 6-5 win over the Twins to take the series, but it came with a major scare: star shortstop Bobby Witt Jr. exited with right knee soreness. The bullpen’s shaky performance—someone surrendered four runs in one inning—highlighted the team’s biggest weakness. With Maikel Garcia just returning, Witt Jr. sidelined, and Jac Caglianone’s shoulder issue still under evaluation, plus Salvador Perez missing his second straight game with a thumb injury, the Royals are facing a brutal injury crisis. Without their key players healthy and their bullpen firing on all cylinders, climbing out of last place—and even sniffing a Wild Card—looks like an uphill climb.
