Availability
Royals first baseman Vinnie Pasquantino (hand) underwent surgery to repair a left hamate fracture and is expected to miss four to six weeks.
Fantasy Impact
Pasquantino suffered the injury on a pop-up to third base during Saturday's loss to the Astros. Pasquantino was already enduring a disappointing season with a .224 average with just six homers and a .659 OPS through 68 games, and working his way back from hand surgery could prove to be difficult in an effort to get his season turned around.
Vinnie Pasquantino exited during the fifth inning of Saturday's 8-7 loss to the Houston Astros due to a right hand/hamate injury.
Fantasy Impact
Pasquantino showed discomfort after making contact with the ball in the fifth inning. Kansas City Royals manager Matt Quatraro said the expectation is that Pasquantino will land on the injured list. However, the severity of the injury will become clearer once he undergoes further testing on Sunday.
Vinnie Pasquantino went 1-for-4 in loss to the Rangers with a walk, a run scored, and one stolen base.
Fantasy Impact
Through 65 games, Pasquantino is batting .221 with six homers, 30 RBI, 27 runs, and three steals. He's currently riding a five-game hit streak, where he has seven hits, five runs scored and two RBI. He's batting .313 with identical strikeout and walk rates in his last 12 games.
Vinnie Pasquantino went 2-for-4 in a 5-2 win over the Reds with a home run, one run scored and two RBI.
Fantasy Impact
After Wednesday's win, Pasquantino is slashing .214/.303/.345 with six homers, 28 RBI, 22 runs scored and two steals across 59 games. The homer ends a 22-game stretch without one. He's had a rough go of it this season, but has four multi-hit games in his last six.
Vinnie Pasquantino went 1-for-4 in a win over the Mariners with an RBI, a run scored and a stolen base.
Fantasy Impact
Through 49 games, he’s batting .198 with five home runs, 23 RBI, 19 runs scored, two stolen bases, and a .275 wOBA. He's struggled this year more than we're used to, but we've seen him start slow before. His strikeout rate is elevated (19.6%), but it's not cause for major concern.
