News
	The Royals placed 1B Vinnie Pasquantino on the 10-day injured list with right wrist soreness.p Ari Koslow Wed, Jul 29th	Jared Young went 2-for-4 with a home run, one run scored and an RBI in Tuesday's 4-0 victory over the Milwaukee Brewers. Nicholas Rodriguez Wed, Jul 22nd
	Vinnie Pasquantino left Tuesday's game with a sore right hand. Ari Koslow Tue, Jul 28th	Since coming off the injured list on May 26, Young has gone 12-for-46 with a .911 OPS while playing nearly every day at first base. He tied the game 4-4 with an RBI single in the fifth inning Thursday before the Mets held on for the win. Bruno Mulé Fri, Jun 12th
	Vinnie Pasquantino went 3-for-4 in a 3-2 win over the Tigers with a run scored. Chase Davis Sun, Jul 26th	Young is batting .313 with a .945 OPS across 55 plate appearances this season and is expected to continue receiving steady starts against right-handed pitching. All three of his home runs have come over his last six games, a stretch that also includes three multi-hit efforts. Bruno Mulé Sat, Jun 6th
	Vinnie Pasquantino went 1-for-4 in a win over the Padres with two runs scored, one walk, one strikeout and one stolen base. Chase Davis Sat, Jul 18th	Jorge Polanco (Achilles) could return from the injured list as soon as this week, which would cut into Young's time at first base and DH against right-handed pitching. Since returning from the IL himself on May 26 following left knee surgery, Young has gone 4-for-16 with two home runs, five runs, and three walks across six appearances. Bruno Mulé Tue, Jun 2nd
	Vinnie Paquantino (hand) was activated from the IL ahead of Friday's game in Baltimore. Nate Miller - FantasyPros Fri, Jul 10th	Young is slashing .345/.412/.517 with three extra-base hits, three RBI, and six runs scored across 34 plate appearances and is expected to see regular time against right-handed pitching.
