Receives breather Sunday
Witt is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Phillies, Joel Goldberg of Bally Sports Kansas City reports.
Impact
Witt started the past 14 games and had a 1.079 OPS with four homers, five steals and 16 RBI during that span, and he'll receive a well-deserved day off Sunday. Maikel Garcia will shift to shortstop while Matt Duffy receives a start at the hot corner.

Homers and steals base in win
Witt went 2-for-5 with a home run, two RBI, a run scored and a stolen base in Friday's 7-5 victory over the Phillies.
Impact
Witt's third inning homer was his 20th of the season. He's now the first player in major league history to reach the 20/30 plateau in each of his first two seasons. During his last seven games, Witt has five multiple hit outings with four home runs, 15 RBI and four stolen bases.

Stays hot with three hits
Witt went 3-for-4 with a home run, two RBI, two runs scored and a stolen base in Thursday's 9-2 win over the Mets.
Impact
Witt singled in his first at-bat before coming around to score the Royals' first run of the game. He then took Carlos Carrasco deep in his next trip to the plate and added another insurance run in the eighth with his third hit of the day. The shortstop has now recorded multiple hits in four of his last six games to go along with 13 RBI, seven runs scored and three stolen bases. He's hitting .462 through three games in August.

Reaches 30-steal mark
Witt went 2-for-4 with one RBI and one stolen base in Wednesday's 4-0 win over the Mets.
Impact
The steal was Witt's 30th of the campaign, matching his total as a rookie from last season. The shortstop has gone 12-for-23 (.522) with 11 RBI over his last five contests. The productive stretch has him up to a .264/.302/.464 slash line with 18 home runs, 62 RBI, 56 runs scored, 19 doubles and seven triples through 107 contests.

Impact
The 23-year-old continues to rake, putting together his second straight four-hit effort and fifth multi-hit performance in the last seven games. Witt is slashing .330/.350/.649 in a blistering July with six of his 18 homers and six of his 29 steals on the season, along with 12 runs and 21 RBI in 23 contests.

Crushes walk-off grand slam
Witt went 4-for-5 with a double, a grand slam, six total RBI, two runs scored and a steal in Friday's victory over the Twins.
Impact
Witt provided a memorable moment in front of the home crowd with his walk-off grand slam against Twins closer Jhoan Duran, capping off a four-hit effort. The 23-year-old stuffed the stat sheet and is now up to 17 home runs and 29 steals through 103 games this season. Expectations seemed almost impossibly high for Witt as a prospect breaking into the majors and yet he's managed to live up to those expectations. He's looking like a potential first-round pick in roto leagues next year.

Picks up steal in loss
Witt went 2-for-4 with a stolen base in Sunday's 8-5 loss to the Yankees.
Impact
Witt was also caught stealing once. The shortstop hadn't attempted a theft in his previous eight games, though he also hit .176 with no walks in that span, limiting his chances to run. He has three multi-hit efforts since the All-Star break and is now slashing .253/.292/.443 with 28 steals, 16 home runs, 51 RBI and 50 runs scored through 99 contests.

Grabbing seat Thursday
Witt is absent from the lineup for Thursday's tilt against the Tigers.
Impact

Homers again in win
Witt went 2-for-4 with a home run, a triple and three RBI in Sunday's 8-4 win over the Rays.
Impact
Witt knocked in a pair of runs with his second-inning triple and added the solo shot in the fifth. All four of his hits over the last three games have come for extra-bases, and he's on a seven-game hitting streak. The shortstop is slashing .259/.301/.463 with 16 long balls, 51 RBI, 50 runs scored and 27 stolen bases through 93 contests. He's also tied with Shohei Ohtani for the major-league lead with six triples.

Solid in twin bill
Witt went 2-for-8 with a solo home run and a double across both games of Saturday's doubleheader versus the Rays.
Impact
He's hit safely in 10 of 11 games in July, batting .357 with three homers, four stolen bases and nine RBI this month. It's another step forward after the talented shortstop had a strong June to offset his slower start to the season. Witt is slashing .257/.299/.449 with 15 homers, 27 steals, 48 RBI and 49 runs scored through 92 contests overall.

Double shy of cycle
Witt went 3-for-5 with one triple, a solo home run, an additional RBI and one steal in Saturday's 10-6 loss to the Guardians.
Impact
Witt smashed his 14th home run of the season Saturday, a 431-foot shot to center off Eli Morgan in the seventh. The shortstop also added a single in the first and a triple in the fifth that plated Nicky Lopez to put him a double short of hitting for the cycle. However, he was unable to complete the feat, grounding out to the pitcher in the ninth inning. WItt possesses a rare blend of speed and power, ranking fourth in baseball in steals and fourth in homers among shortstops, making him an elite fantasy asset.

Picks up steal in loss
Witt went 1-for-4 with a walk, a stolen base and a run scored in Thursday's 6-1 loss to the Guardians.
Impact
Witt has collected three steals while batting .324 with a 2:11 BB:K over his last nine games. The shortstop was able to cross the plate in a productive first inning, but the Royals' offense couldn't scrape together any more runs after that. Witt is slashing .251/.294/.423 through 87 games this season, a nearly identical line to his 2022 numbers. He's added 13 home runs, 26 steals, 45 RBI, 47 runs scored, 13 doubles and four triples while consistently batting second most often in recent weeks.

Swats 13th homer
Witt went 2-for-4 with a two-run home run in Tuesday's 9-3 loss to the Twins.
Impact
He took Kenta Maeda deep in the fourth inning to get the Royals on the board, but they were already staring at 4-0 hole at that point. Witt has four multi-hit efforts in the last five games, and since the beginning of June the 23-year-old is slashing .307/.354/.430 with three of his 13 homers and eight of his 25 steals on the year.

Swipes two bags in loss
Witt went 2-for-5 with a double, a run, an RBI and two stolen bases in a loss to the Twins on Monday.
Impact
Witt has settled into the No. 2 spot in the order of late, as he's batted there in all but two of his 17 starts since June 16. The shortstop came into Monday with a modest two thefts during that span, but he boosted his season total to 25 with the pair of steals in the loss. Witt swiped 30 bags as a rookie last season and appears to be well on his way to surpassing that total as a sophomore.

Swipes bag in loss
Witt went 1-for-4 with a steal and a run scored in Sunday's loss to the Rays.
Impact
Witt singled to lead off the fourth and wound up stealing second before crossing home for the Royals' only run of the afternoon. The 23-year-old is now up to 23 steals on the year and is well on his way of surpassing the 30 steals he had in 150 games as a rookie last season. Witt has displayed some inconsistencies at the plate thus far, but has four hits over his last three games and is now slashing .247/.290/.426 with 12 homers, 38 RBI, 43 runs and a 19:67 BB:K over 334 plate appearances.

Hits homer, steals bag in loss
Witt went 2-for-3 with a solo homer and steal in Monday's 6-4 loss to the Tigers.
Impact
Witt hit a home run and stole a base in the same game for the third time this year. It was the 23-year-old's sixth multi-hit outing of June, and he's slashing .323/.373/.452 during that 16-game stretch. His overall slash line (.248/.289/.434) could still use some work, but Witt has 12 home runs and 22 stolen bases through 71 games (308 plate appearances), giving him one of the highest fantasy ceilings in MLB.
