The six-man rotation is on its way.
The Royals will add an extra arm to the mix Wednesday against the White Sox, when left-hander Eric Skoglund receives his first start since May.
To accommodate the move, the Royals will slide Brad Keller to Tuesday’s start. Skoglund will finish the three-game series at Kauffman Stadium. Jakob Junis is throwing in the opener Monday.
In his first major-league appearance since May 25, Skoglund pitched out of the bullpen Friday, throwing two shutout innings. But the Royals would like to slide him back into the rotation, a spot for which he will likely compete next spring.
