The Kansas City Royals announced manager Matt Quatraro would be away from the team while dealing with a personal matter.
The Kansas City Royals are floundering, and they need a series win in the worst way as they open a three-game set with the rival Cleveland Guardians.Amid a five-game losing streak, Kansas City sits 3 1/2 games back of the Guardians for the American League Central division lead, just five days after pulling even with Cleveland for the first time all summer. It's a must-win series, and the Royals will be missing a familiar face at the end of the bench.
In addition to fighting for the division crown, the Royals hold a 4 1/2 game lead on the closest AL Wild Card competitor, the Boston Red Sox. The Detroit Tigers are five games back, and the Seattle Mariners 5 1/2. After losing first baseman Vinnie Pasquantino to injury, the Royals' lineup looked a lot different with Quatraro in the dugout on Sunday, with new acquisitions Tommy Pham and Yuli Gurriel sliding in on their first day with the club. Both are in the starting lineup for Monday's game as well.Jackson Roberts is a former Division III All-Region DH who now writes and talks about sports for a living.
