Bobby Witt Jr. seemed to avoid the worst after being hit by a fastball during the Royals’ 7-6 win over the Mariners on Wednesday afternoon. The Royals’ shortstop did not suffer a fracture, the team announced, with X-rays coming back negative. He’s dealing with a left forearm contusion and will continue to be evaluated in the coming days.
