All-Star shortstop Bobby Witt Jr. and second baseman Jonathan India returned to the Kansas City Royals' lineup on Tuesday, but right-hander Michael Wacha landed on the seven-day injured list with a concussion.
Witt, 25, missed the last three games for Kansas City (73-71) with back spasms but is back for the second game of a crucial four-game set at fellow American League wild-card contender Cleveland (73-70). The two-time All-Star and 2024 AL MVP runner-up entered the day hitting .294 with 21 home runs, 34 stolen bases and 77 RBIs in 139 games this season.
The 28-year-old India was activated off the 10-day IL after spraining his left wrist on Aug. 29. In his first season with the Royals, he's hitting .232 with eight homers and 41 RBIs in 124 games.
Wacha, 34, was scheduled to start on Wednesday but sustained a concussion from a minor off-field accident, MLB.com reported on Tuesday. Per the report, Wacha was returning to Kansas City for further evaluation. The move is retroactive to Monday.
In his second season with the Royals, Wacha is 9-11 with a 3.45 ERA in 28 starts.
