Starts rehab assignment Wednesday
Pasquantino (wrist) went 1-for-5 at the plate Wednesday in his first rehab game with Triple-A Omaha.
Analysis
After Omaha's game was rained out Tuedsday, Pasquantino began his rehab assignment a day later and played the full game at first base as he works his way back from right wrist soreness. Per MLB.com, the Royals hope to have the 28-year-old play in five games this week, which would put him on track to return from the 10-day injured list as soon as Monday. Pasquantino is slashing .232/.318/.345 with six home runs, four stolen bases, 33 RBI and 34 runs across 336 plate appearances this season.

Heading out on rehab stint
Pasquantino (wrist) will begin a rehab assignment at Triple-A Omaha on Tuesday.
Analysis
Pasquantino, who landed on the 10-day injured list July 29 due to wrist soreness, should only need a handful of at-bats at Triple-A before being activated from the shelf. If all goes according to plan, it seems likely that he'll be back with the big-league club before the end of the week.

Could begin rehab stint Tuesday
Royals manager Matt Quatraro said Pasquantino (wrist) may begin a minor-league rehab assignment Tuesday, Jaylon T. Thompson of The Kansas City Star reports.
Analysis
Pasquantino landed on the IL due to right wrist soreness July 29. The first baseman underwent surgery in mid-June to remove a fractured hamate bone, and the soreness was presumably related to that procedure. However, Pasquantino appears to be doing better with some time off, and if he does indeed begin a rehab stint Tuesday, he could be back with Kansas City shortly thereafter.
