Royals' Vinnie Pasquantino: Included on wild-card roster
The Kansas City Royals activated Vinnie Pasquantino (thumb) from the 10-day injured list Tuesday.Pasquantino was supposed to be sidelined for 6-to-8 weeks when he required surgery to repair a fractured right thumb in early September, but he's beat that timetable by a wide margin and will be part of the Royals' wild-card series roster. The expectation is that Pasquantino will be used at designated hitter, at least initially, which would free up at-bats at first base for Yuli Gurriel and/or Salvador Perez.

Royals' Vinnie Pasquantino: Takes batting practice
Vinnie Pasquantino (thumb) took batting practice on the field Thursday, Jaylon T. Thompson of The Kansas City Star reports.Pasquantino is just over three weeks removed from surgery to repair a fractured right thumb, a procedure which carried a projected 6-to-8 week timetable. That he's already taking what looked to be full swings in batting practice seems to suggest he has a shot to beat that timeline, although the Kansas City Royals would need to qualify for the postseason and probably advance at least one round in order for Pasquantino to become a realistic option.

Royals' Vinnie Pasquantino: Getting surgery for thumb
Vinnie Pasquantino said that he hopes to undergo surgery Tuesday for his fractured right thumb, Joel Goldberg of Bally Sports Kansas City reports.Assuming no other hand injury was uncovered during Pasquantino's thumb surgery, he'll face a 6-to-8-week recovery timeline. When speaking to the media Monday, Pasquantino said that in his mind, his season is not over, but even if the Kansas City Royals make a deep playoff run, the coaching staff may not be keen in reintegrating him after a long absence. After his 2023 campaign was cut short to labrum surgery of his non-throwing shoulder, Pasquantino enjoyed a productive comeback season before suffering the fractured thumb last week, slashing .262/.315/.446 with 19 home runs, 97 RBI, 64 runs and one stolen base across 554 plate appearances.

Royals' Vinnie Pasquantino: Diagnosed with fractured thumb
Vinnie Pasquantino will miss the next 6-8 weeks after being diagnosed with a fractured right thumb.Pasquantino suffered the injury during Thursday's game in Houston on a collision at first base. While he could potentially return if the Kansas City Royals make a deep postseason run, it's likelier that the 26-year-old won't be seen again until spring training. It's a devastating blow to a Royals team that's fighting for a division title, and a major hit for Pasquantino's fantasy managers as well. Nick Pratto or Nick Loftin are options to be called up from Triple-A Omaha to fill in at first base, and Kansas City might also give Salvador Perez more action at the position while Freddy Fermin catches.
