Royals' Vinnie Pasquantino: Reinstated from IL
Rotowire
The Royals reinstated Pasquantino (wrist) from the 10-day injured list Monday. He'll start at first base and bat fifth in the team's series opener versus the Athletics.
Kansas City will get two major lineup pieces back ahead of its four-game series with the Athletics, as third baseman Maikel Garcia (hand) was also activated from the IL. Pasquantino ended up spending just under three weeks on the shelf due to soreness in his right wrist, the same hand he previously required surgery for June 14 to address a broken hamate bone. Though Pasquantino should be available to play on a near-everyday basis as the regular season winds down, fantasy managers may want to temper expectations for his power production as he works to regain full strength in his wrist.
Pasquantino (wrist) went 1-for-5 at the plate Wednesday in his first rehab game with Triple-A Omaha.
After Omaha's game was rained out Tuedsday, Pasquantino began his rehab assignment a day later and played the full game at first base as he works his way back from right wrist soreness. Per MLB.com, the Royals hope to have the 28-year-old play in five games this week, which would put him on track to return from the 10-day injured list as soon as Monday. Pasquantino is slashing .232/.318/.345 with six home runs, four stolen bases, 33 RBI and 34 runs across 336 plate appearances this season.

Royals' Vinnie Pasquantino: Heading out on rehab stint
Rotowire
Pasquantino (wrist) will begin a rehab assignment at Triple-A Omaha on Tuesday.
Pasquantino, who landed on the 10-day injured list July 29 due to wrist soreness, should only need a handful of at-bats at Triple-A before being activated from the shelf. If all goes according to plan, it seems likely that he'll be back with the big-league club before the end of the week.

Royals' Vinnie Pasquantino: Could begin rehab stint Tuesday
Rotowire
Royals manager Matt Quatraro said Pasquantino (wrist) may begin a minor-league rehab assignment Tuesday, Jaylon T. Thompson of The Kansas City Star reports.
Pasquantino landed on the IL due to right wrist soreness July 29. The first baseman underwent surgery in mid-June to remove a fractured hamate bone, and the soreness was presumably related to that procedure. However, Pasquantino appears to be doing better with some time off, and if he does indeed begin a rehab stint Tuesday, he could be back with Kansas City shortly thereafter.

Royals' Vinnie Pasquantino: Back on IL with sore wrist
Rotowire
The Royals placed Pasquantino on the 10-day injured list Wednesday due to right wrist soreness.
Pasquantino will head to the IL for the second time this season due to an injury related to his right hand, as he previously underwent surgery June 14 to remove a fractured hamate bone. The 28-year-old doesn't appear to be dealing with as serious of an injury this time around, but he'll be unavailable until at least Aug. 8 while he waits for his wrist to heal. Salvador Perez and Jac Caglianone will likely serve as the main replacements at first base for Pasquantino in the short term, and Nick Loftin could become an option at the position when third baseman Maikel Garcia (hand) completes his rehab assignment and returns from the 10-day IL.

Royals' Vinnie Pasquantino: Battling hand soreness
Rotowire
Pasquantino was removed from Tuesday's game against the Twins with right hand soreness.
Pasquantino's hand forced him out of Tuesday's contest in the ninth inning after he'd gone 0-for-3 with a strikeout. If his injury causes him to sit out additional games, Jac Caglianone would likely take over as Kansas City's first baseman while Tyler Tolbert mans right field.

Royals' Vinnie Pasquantino: Resting up Sunday
Rotowire
Pasquantino is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Tigers.
Pasquantino will be given the afternoon off after he went 8-for-21 with three runs and one RBI while starting in the Royals' previous six games. Salvador Perez will replace Pasquantino at first base.
Pasquantino is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Orioles.
The first baseman was reinstated from the injured list Friday after missing nearly a month due to a hamate fracture, but he finds himself back on the bench Sunday against San Diego righty German Marquez. There's been no word that Pasquantino aggravated the injury, so the Royals may simply be easing him back into the lineup. Kansas City is starting three catchers Sunday, with Luke Maile working behind the plate, Salvador Perez at first base and Carter Jensen at designated hitter.

Pasquantino was activated from the injured list Friday after spending nearly a month on the shelf with a hamate fracture, but Saturday will mark his return to the starting nine. The 28-year-old was slashing .298/.365/.426 across his last 12 games before getting injured, and he went 4-for-11 with three walks, an RBI and a run during his three-game rehab assignment at Triple-A Omaha.

Royals' Vinnie Pasquantino: Activated from IL
Rotowire
The Royals activated Pasquantino (hand) from the 10-day injured list Friday.
Pasquantino suffered a broken right hamate bone last month and missed just 23 games with the injury. He's returning in just under four weeks, beating the typical recovery timeline significantly as Pasquantino was initially expected to be sidelined through the All-Star break. He appeared in three games with Triple-A Omaha on a rehab assignment, going 4-for-11 with three walks. At the time of his injury, Pasquantino had slashed an impressive .309/.397/.436 over his previous 14 games. He'll look to recapture that form during a weekend series against the Orioles.

Rotowire
Pasquantino (hand) is not in the starting lineup for Friday's game against the Orioles.
Despite being activated from the 10-day injured list earlier in the day, Pasquantino will not be in the starting nine against Baltimore for Friday's series opener. Instead, Salvador Perez will man first base and bat sixth with Nick Loftin hitting eighth and handling DH duties.
Royals manager Matt Quatraro said Thursday that Pasquantino (hand) could return from the 10-day injured list ahead of Friday's series opener versus the Orioles, Jaylon T. Thompson of The Kansas City Star reports.
Pasquantino has been shelved since June 14 after suffering a right hamate fracture, but he's made quick progress in his recovery from surgery and started a rehab assignment with Triple-A Omaha earlier this week. He's gone 2-for-6 with one RBI and three walks in two games with Omaha, and Pasquantino looks as though he'll have a chance to rejoin Kansas City's lineup for the team's final series before the All-Star break.
