Witt went 3-for-5 with a homer, two doubles, three RBI and three runs for Triple-A Omaha against Iowa on Wednesday.

EDGE Analysis

He also homered and drove in four on Tuesday, continuing his ongoing demolition of Triple-A pitching. Witt is now batting .299/.356/.628 with 11 homers and seven steals since his promotion -- an even better line than what we saw from him in Double-A earlier this season. Fantasy managers have got to be champing at the bit to get him into their lineups, considering that Witt has put up 27 homers and 21 steals across 93 games in the minors this season.

Witt has homered five times and stolen three bases in 15 games since his promotion to Triple-A Omaha, posting a .290/.338/.565 line in the process.

EDGE Analysis

The mega-prospect's full minor-league line for the season is now .294/.363/.569 with 21 homers, 17 steals, 60 RBI and 60 runs. He's even trimmed his strikeout rate from 24 percent Double-A to 21.6 percent in Triple-A. Just 21 years old, Witt looks ready for the big leagues, but the date of his eventual promotion remains an open question. At one point this spring, it seemed likely that he'd spend the majority of the campaign with the Royals, but as things stand now, it seems like he may not get called up until rosters expand in September. Whenever he does get the call, he could make an instant impact.

Witt was promoted to Triple-A Omaha on Sunday.

EDGE Analysis

Witt missed a few days with an ankle injury earlier in July, but he's slashed .267/.389/.667 with three home runs, nine RBI, six runs and a stolen base in his seven appearances since returning to action. The 21-year-old will now get to face higher level competition and could join the major-league club at some point if he continues to perform well.

Witt is back in the starting lineup Wednesday at Double-A Northwest Arkansas after missing one game due to an ankle injury.

EDGE Analysis

Witt exited Sunday's game after tweaking his right ankle. The top prospect said Monday he expected to be good to go Tuesday, but the club ultimately decided to give him one more day to heal up. Witt will bring a .296/.366/553 slash line and 13 home runs with him into Wednesday's matchup.

Witt (ankle) is expected to return to the lineup at Double-A Northwest Arkansas on Tuesday, Jonathan Mayo of MLB.com reports.

EDGE Analysis

Witt tweaked his ankle in Sunday's game and was removed from the contest, but his early exit was considered precautionary due to a cramp. The 21-year-old said Monday that he's doing fine, and it doesn't appear as though his injury will force him to miss additional time. The shortstop has slashed .345/.406/.612 with six home runs, three triples, seven doubles, 27 RBI, 22 runs and seven RBI across 29 games since June 1.

Witt exited Sunday's game at Double-A Northwest Arkansas with a right ankle injury.

EDGE Analysis

Witt suffered the injury while fielding a grounder in the third inning, and he was immediately removed from the game as a result. The 21-year-old had recorded five RBI across his three appearances leading up to Sunday's contest, but he went 0-for-2 prior to his exit. He'll have a chance to rest during the Double-A club's scheduled off day Monday, but it's not yet clear whether he'll be able to return to action Tuesday.

Witt went 2-for-4 with a walk, RBI, run and two stolen bases Sunday in Double-A Northwest Arkansas' 8-2 win over San Antonio.

EDGE Analysis

Witt's muted start to the season at Northwest Arkansas looks to be a distant memory at this point. After supplying his fifth consecutive multi-hit effort Sunday, Witt is holding down a .343/.405/.672 slash line in June, which has elevated his season-long OPS to a robust .913. The Royals have yet to tip their hand when Witt might be in line for a promotion to Triple-A Omaha, or perhaps directly to the big club.

Witt has been heating up of late with a three-homer game Sunday and two more hits Tuesday night. His OPS at Double-A has crept up to .800 as he gets more comfortable at the level.

EDGE Analysis

It's unclear whether the Royals will consider calling Witt up soon, or wait until later in the year, but he's starting to make his case. The power/speed combo makes him worth a speculative add if you have the roster space.

Witt went 2-for-5 with a double and a solo home run Sunday in Double-A Northwest Arkansas' 12-5 win over Springfield.

EDGE Analysis

Though he generated hype in spring training about potentially bypassing the higher levels of the minors entirely to break camp with the big club, Witt was ultimately assigned to Double-A to begin the season. The 20-year-old was expected to find immediate success at Northwest Arkansas, but Witt is off to a surprisingly lackluster start to the campaign. He's reaching base at a modest .307 clip through 75 plate appearances, and he only had one extra-base hit prior to Sunday. Witt has at least excelled on the basepaths, going 7-for-10 in steal attempts.

The Royals plan to have Witt begin the minor-league season at Double-A Northwest Arkansas, Alec Lewis of The Athletic reports.

EDGE Analysis

Kansas City's decision to send Witt to Double-A rather than Triple-A Omaha shouldn't have much bearing on when the prized prospect gets a big-league call-up, which will likely come at some point this summer. Since Witt has yet to make his debut in affiliated ball, the Royals may just want to see how he fares against high-level minor-league competition for a period of time before summoning him to the majors. Witt has been developed as a shortstop up to this point, but since Adalberto Mondesi (oblique) will have that position locked down once activated from the injured list, the 20-year-old may get some exposure to second base as well as the outfield during his time at Northwest Arkansas.
