EDGE Analysis
The 24-year-old was placed on the injured list in late August due to right shoulder discomfort and began his rehab assignment in Triple-A Omaha on Saturday.

Pasquantino (shoulder) will begin a rehab assignment at Triple-A Omaha on Saturday.
EDGE Analysis
Pasquantino hit on the field prior to Friday's matchup against Detroit and will return to game action in the minors a day later. Assuming he feels good after playing at the Triple-A level, it wouldn't be surprising to see him return from the injured list early next week.

Pasqualino (shoulder) hit on the field ahead of Friday's game against the Tigers, Joel Goldberg of Bally Sports Kansas City reports.
EDGE Analysis
Pasquantino has been on the injured list since Aug. 23 due to right shoulder discomfort, but manager Mike Matheny said Friday that the 24-year-old is getting closer to a return. It's not yet clear whether Pasquantino will require a rehab assignment prior to rejoining the Royals.

Kansas City placed Pasquantino on the 10-day injured list Tuesday with right shoulder discomfort.
EDGE Analysis
The Royals won't mess around with this injury to one of their best young players. As it is still being labeled as discomfort, this could be a short-term absence. He is eligible to return Sept. 2 in Detroit.

Pasquantino was removed from Monday's game against the White Sox due to right shoulder discomfort, Joel Goldberg of Bally Sports Kansas City reports.
EDGE Analysis
Pasquantino appeared to be in pain while swinging his bat in the bottom of the second inning Monday, and he was replaced defensively in the top of the third. The 24-year-old will be further evaluated before the Royals determine his status for the team's upcoming two-game series against the Diamondbacks.

Pasquantino was removed in the top of the third inning of Monday's game against the White Sox with an apparent right arm injury, Alec Lewis of The Athletic reports. He went 0-for-1 with a walk and a run scored prior to departing.
EDGE Analysis
Pasquantino appeared to sustain the injury in question in the bottom of the second, when he looked to be in pain while swinging the bat and flying out to end the inning. Nick Pratto was summoned from the bench a half inning later to replace Pasquantino at first base. The 24-year-old can viewed as day-to-day until the Royals provide more specifics about his injury.

Pasquantino went 1-for-3 with a two-run home run in Monday's 4-2 loss against the Twins.
EDGE Analysis
For the second game in a row, the rookie slugged a home run to bring his total on the season to eight. Pasquantino has been on a tear since the beginning of August, slashing .356/.388/.711 with a 10.2 percent strikeout rate after slashing .219/.322/,324 with a 15.7 percent strikeout rate up to this point. The recent surge is likely a product of him getting accustomed to the big leagues, and he should continue to contribute to fantasy lineups the rest of the way.

Pasquantino went 3-for-4 with a solo home run, a double, two RBI and two runs scored in Sunday's 4-0 win over the Dodgers.
EDGE Analysis
Pasquantino factored in on three of the Royals' scoring plays as they avoided a sweep. His eighth-inning homer was his fourth in his last six games, and his seventh of the campaign. The first baseman has added 12 RBI, 16 runs scored and six doubles while slashing .260/.341/.440 through 170 plate appearances. He appears to have a near-everyday role between first base and designated hitter, and considering he slugged .574 through 242 games in the minors in his career, the power shouldn't come as much of a surprise.
