Pasquantino will bat sixth and serve as the designated hitter in his major-league debut Tuesday against Texas.

EDGE Analysis

Pasquantino was called up Monday but didn't appear in the series opener, though that was reportedly due to his late arrival at the stadium rather than the fact the Royals were facing a lefty in Martin Perez. He'll get his first taste of the big leagues here against righty Jon Gray and is expected to face both lefties and righties going forward.
