Overview
- The Royals announced that Pasquantino was placed on the injured list for right wrist soreness after exiting Tuesday’s game with hand discomfort.
- Kansas City called up outfielder John Rave from Triple-A Omaha as the roster replacement while the club adjusts its infield alignment.
- Jac Caglianone is expected to split time at first base and veteran Salvador Perez will also see starts at the position during Pasquantino’s absence.
- Pasquantino missed roughly a month in June with a hamate fracture, returned in mid-July without regaining power, and now has six homers and a .345 slugging percentage in 79 games this season.
- Wrist and hand injuries commonly sap hitters’ power after return, so the Royals will be watching Pasquantino’s swing strength and slugging on rehab to judge his longer-term recovery.
