Royals struggle and fall to last in AL Central amid injury woes

The Kansas City Royals currently sit last in the American League Central, 10.5 games behind the Chicago White Sox. Struggles on both offense and defense have plagued the team, with standout performances only from Bobby Witt Jr. and Jac Caglianone. Injuries have further hindered their efforts, affecting players like Cole Ragans, Kris Bubic, and Carlos Estevez. A midterm evaluation gave the Royals an F, highlighting poor pitching performances, with just one starter boasting an ERA under 4.10. Changes may be imminent as the trade deadline approaches, with potential moves for players like Michael Wacha or Seth Lugo.
