The Kansas City Royals have been on an impressive run, securing a 2-1 victory against the Boston Red Sox in 12 innings, marking their 16th win in 18 games, a feat not witnessed since 1978. Royals' starting pitchers have also shone, delivering three consecutive outings of seven shutout innings—something not accomplished by the franchise since 1989.

Meanwhile, top prospect Jac Caglianone continues to rise, hitting his ninth home run of the season, and is viewed by many scouts as big-league ready. The Royals may consider giving him a shot in September, especially with Vinnie Pasquantino struggling below career averages. With such promising talent on the horizon, the Royals could be wise to introduce Caglianone to the majors sooner rather than later.
