Royals' Injury Struggles and Freeland's Strain | Kansas City Royals News
Description
The Royals are clinging to the “second-worst team” title in MLB, battling the Angels in a season defined by injuries and resilience. July’s Player and Pitcher of the Month honors shine a spotlight on how thin the roster has become, with key players sidelined. A pitcher named Bummer—ironically—joins the fray as the team braces for another rough stretch, amid whispers of serious arm issues. Kyle Freeland, despite decent underlying stats, struggles with a high ERA against shaky Rockies defense. In the lineup, John Rave takes center stage ahead of Tolbert, while Loftin steps into the two-hole. Bobby Witt Jr. is set to return Tuesday, offering hope. And with three catchers facing a lefty starter, Marte may be forced out early—just like Thomas was—and could be trade bait with little value.
