  • Lefebvre and Guthrie will start together, but Lefebvre moves to radio in St. Louis.
  • Joel Goldberg will be the sideline reporter for the three-game set at Rate Field.
  • Lefebvre moves to the radio booth for 3 games in St. Louis. Eisenberg joins Guthrie on TV.

The three-man analyst rotation for Royals television has not given any of the broadcasters a lengthy stay in the booth.

But that’ll change this week.

The Royals said Ryan Lefebvre and Jeremy Guthrie are going to be the broadcasters for all six games this week. Those two had done each game of the homestand, with the exception of Sunday night’s contest, which aired on Peacock.

This will give Guthrie, the former Royals pitcher, a bit of continuity in the booth.

There will be a rotation this week involving others. Joel Goldberg will be the sideline reporter for the three-game set at Rate Field in Chicago. When the Royals go to St. Louis, Bridget Howard will assume that role.

UPDATE: The Royals said a change is being made this week, as Lefebrve will move to the radio booth for the three games in St. Louis and Jake Eisenberg will join Guthrie on the TV side.
