The Royals' reliever James McArthur experienced elbow tightness, prompting immediate testing to assess the source and severity of the injury before the upcoming games.
Manager Matt Quatraro explained that after McArthur shook his arm following a missed pitch, catcher Salvador Perez called for the trainer, indicating that the pitcher felt "something felt off".
Despite a rough patch leading to his demotion from closer, McArthur had an impressive stretch earlier this season, boasting a 3.22 ERA before his recent struggles.
Originally opening the season as the Royals' closer with 18 saves, McArthur struggled and has now become a middle reliever, illustrating the potential volatility in a player's form.
