Pasquantino went 0-4 in an 8-3 loss to the Rangers on Tuesday.

EDGE Analysis

The highly-touted top-100 prospect had a tough first game against big-league pitching, going hitless and grounding into a double play while slotted in as the designated hitter. Pasquantino should see plenty of at-bats with Salvador Perez (thumb) out of the lineup due to injury and Carlos Santana having being traded to the Mariners. The Royals don't shape up as contenders this season, so it's likely they will let young players like Pasquantino garner plenty of experience.
