Bobby Witt returns from IL; Matt Strahm designated for assignment

Bobby Witt Jr. returns to the Kansas City Royals' roster after a brief stint on the injured list. The team also announced the designation of Matt Strahm for assignment, marking a significant move following a disappointing season for the reliever. Strahm, acquired in a trade from Philadelphia, struggled with performance, prompting the front office to make this decision. Andrew Velazquez was designated for assignment to clear a spot for Witt's return. Jose Cuas is expected to step back into the bullpen after previously performing well this season.
