Getting surgery for thumb
Pasquantino said that he hopes to undergo surgery Tuesday for his fractured right thumb, Joel Goldberg of Bally Sports Kansas City reports.
Analysis
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 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.

Placed on IL
The Royals placed Pasquantino (thumb) on the 10-day injured list Friday.
Analysis
Pasquantino was diagnosed with a fractured right thumb Friday and given a 6-to-8 week timetable for return, ending the first baseman's 2024 season. Kansas City recalled Nick Loftin from Triple-A Omaha to take Pasquantino's spot on the 26-man roster. Loftin and Salvador Perez should handle most of the work at first base down the stretch.

Diagnosed with fractured thumb
Pasquantino will miss the next 6-to-8 weeks after being diagnosed with a fractured right thumb.
Analysis
Pasquantino suffered the injury during Thursday's game in Houston on a collision at first base. While he could potentially return if the 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 to 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 the Royals might also give Salvador Perez more action at the position while Freddy Fermin catches.

Analysis
