Some Royals fans have been clamoring for Rex Hudler to work more games as an analyst for the team’s broadcasts.

They will get their wish to start the month.

Hudler, who worked this past weekend’s Royals-Rangers series in Texas with Ryan Lefebvre, will be on the call on six of Kansas City’s seven games this week. The lone exception will be Friday night, when the Royals’ game against the Twins in Minneapolis will only be available for viewing on Apple TV.

Here is how to watch or listen to the Royals’ seven games this week, and they are all taking place on the road, away from Kauffman Stadium.

Monday: at Reds, 6:10 p.m. (Royals.TV and 96.5 The Fan)

Tuesday: at Reds, 6:10 p.m. (Royals.TV and 96.5 The Fan)

Wednesday: at Reds, 6:10 p.m. (Royals.TV and 96.5 The Fan)
