Kansas City Royals first baseman Vinnie Pasquantino has surgery after fracturing a hamate bone in his right hand, according to reports. The procedure takes place Sunday, and he is expected to be sidelined for up to six weeks, marking another injury setback for the team during the season. To address the vacancy on the roster, the Royals recall outfielder John Rave from Triple-A Omaha ahead of their series finale against the Houston Astros. With Pasquantino unavailable, Jac Caglianone, who has been the Royals’ regular right fielder, is expected to play the majority of games at first base. The updates come as Kansas City continues to manage multiple lineup changes and injuries. The team’s immediate focus is on adjusting roles and maintaining coverage at first base while Pasquantino recovers. No additional timelines beyond the projected up-to-six-week recovery period are reported in the available accounts.
