Witt is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Padres.
Witt went 0-for-8 with a walk and three strikeouts in the first two games of the second half, and it's interesting he's already receiving a day off. The shortstop started Kansas City's first 76 games of the season and only hit the bench after sustaining a Grade 1 MCL sprain in his right knee. There's been no indication that the 26-year-old suffered a setback or is dealing with a new injury, but his absence could extend into a series versus San Francisco that begins Monday.
