Kansas City Royals star shortstop Bobby Witt Jr. exited Friday night's game against the visiting Minnesota Twins due to low back spasms.
Witt did not come out for the top of the seventh inning in a game the Royals won 2-1. Maikel Garcia shifted from third base to shortstop and Nick Loftin entered at third and took Witt's spot in the batting order.
Any missed time for Witt could be a massive blow to the Royals, who entered Friday two games out of the final wild-card spot in the American League.
A two-time All-Star and the runner-up for AL MVP last year, Witt is batting .294 with 21 homers and 77 RBIs and is one of baseball's best defensive infielders.
