The Kansas City Royals are prepping for a postseason push after some immense momentum gained by a stretch of four consecutive series wins with a very productive trade deadline in between.
As much as the primary focus among Royals fans will be on a successful stretch run, there's some other headlines they should be aware of as August is underway.
While the Royals have adequate pitching reinforcements after a pair of deadline day trades brought in three new arms to the fold, they'll be thrilled that one of their key arms - whose injury warranted said deals - is set to work his way back to the majors.
