Hunter Renfroe's Toe Injury Less Severe Than First Feared

Kansas City Royals' outfielder avoids surgery and faces a shorter recovery period after further scans reveal no fracture.

Initial diagnosis of a fractured toe was revised after further imaging showed no break.
Renfroe's injury is now classified as a bone bruise with a stress reaction.
The outfielder is expected to miss 2-3 weeks instead of the initially feared 6-8 weeks.
Royals manager Matt Quatraro expressed relief over the updated prognosis.
The team has recalled Drew Waters and Nick Pratto from Triple-A Omaha to cover Renfroe's absence.
