Bobby Witt Jr. Back in Monday's Lineup
Kansas City Royals shortstop Bobby Witt Jr. (back) is starting at shortstop and is batting second on Monday against the visiting Washington Nationals and right-hander Cade Cavalli in the series opener. Witt dealt with back stiffness over the weekend and sat out of Sunday's series finale against the Minnesota Twins. The 25-year-old All-Star was up in the air to play on Monday, but he's in there and needs to be in all starting fantasy lineups. He snapped a short hitting streak with a hitless performance on Saturday, and he's hitting .226 (7-for-31) with two home runs, a triple, five RBI and two steals in eight games in the month of August. The former first-rounder can do it all on the diamond and contribute in all fantasy categories. He's currently slashing .284/.340/.493 with an .833 OPS, 17 homers, 65 RBI, 71 runs and 30 steals.
