Bobby Witt Jr.’s knee soreness was something that progressed throughout the game, and there was a long at-bat in the 3rd that didn’t help. Said he was hoping to get to the off day tomorrow to rest it but the ache never wore off. He’ll continue to be evaluated tomorrow & Tuesday.
Stacey King has passed away at 59 years old. A three-time NBA champion with the Chicago Bulls across eight NBA seasons after being the No. 6 pick in the 1989 draft, and a beloved broadcaster for the team in his post-playing career.
Salvador Perez is not in the lineup for a second consecutive day as he deals with a right thumb injury, which was sustained on a wild pitch that hit him Friday. It led to some swelling, but #Royals are hopeful that by Tuesday he’s feeling back to normal, Quatraro said.
Jac Caglianone (shoulder) feels better today but is being evaluated pregame to determine his availability off the bench, manager Matt Quatraro said. #Royals don’t believe there’s anything wrong structurally, so the hope is he’s ready to get back in games in the coming days.
Caglianone was favoring the shoulder a little on his swing today, so the #Royals "didn't want to take any chances" and got him out of the game, manager Matt Quatraro said. He'll be evaluated again tomorrow.
#Royals win 3-2.
