<\/p>\n<\/p>\n

The Kansas City Royals placed first baseman Vinnie Pasquantino on the 10-day injured list with a right hamate fracture.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

On Saturday, he suffered the injury<\/a> in the fifth inning against the Houston Astros. After a swing, Pasquantino appeared to be in pain and would pop out to third baseman Isaac Paredes.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

As he ran to first base, he grimaced in pain. Right after that, he went into the clubhouse and didn\u2019t return to the game. Pasquantino is batting .224 with 6 home runs and 32 RBIs this season.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

\u201cHe had surgery this morning to remove the broken hamate,\u201d manager Matt Quatraro said. \u201cEverything went as they would have thought in that. So timeline is somewhere as 4-6 weeks, probably. We will know a lot more as he starts the rehab process.\u201d<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

Quatraro also shared insights into his conversation with Pasquantino about the injury.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

\u201cI just told him I was frustrated for him,\u201d Quatraro said. \u201cEspecially as he\u2019s got himself going, you never want to lose any of the guys to injury. For him, it stinks because I know how hard he\u2019s worked to get back and be productive. He\u2019s gone through injuries before, it can be a real grind.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

As for who will replace him at first base? At least for Sunday\u2019s game against the Astros, it will be Jac Caglianone.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

\u201cCags will be over there the majority of the time,\u201d Quatraro said. \u201cWe have (Nick) Loftin, we have Salvy (Perez), just depending on the matchup and how many games in a row and those kinds of things. We have to be mindful of all the workloads and all those things for all the guys.\u201d<\/p>\n
