Vinnie Pasquantino<\/a> became the second AL Central slugger to suffer a fractured hamate bone in his right hand on Saturday.<\/p>\n The Kansas City Royals<\/a> first baseman left Saturday\u2019s 8-7 loss<\/a> to the Houston Astros<\/a> in the fifth inning after popping out to third base.<\/p>\n Advertisement<\/p>\n Following the popout, Pasquantino appeared to be in obvious pain as he returned to the dugout. He soon went into the dugout tunnel toward the clubhouse without being checked by a trainer. The team announced that he would not return<\/a> after suffering a right hand\/hamate injury.<\/p>\n The injury occurred on the same day that Cleveland Guardians<\/a> third baseman Jos\u00e9 Ram\u00edrez sustained a fractured hamate<\/a> in his left hand.<\/p>\n Pasquantino was placed on the 10-day injured list<\/a> on Sunday, but he will likely miss four to six weeks after undergoing surgery.<\/p>\n New York Mets shortstop Francisco Lindor<\/a>, Arizona Diamondbacks outfielder Corbin Carroll<\/a> and Baltimore Orioles infielder Jackson Holliday<\/a> each sustained similar injuries during spring training and took at least a month to return to the lineup. Carroll required about a month to recover, while Holliday took longer.<\/p>\n Advertisement<\/p>\n Pasquantino has a .224\/.309\/.350 slash average with 6 home runs, 10 doubles and 32 RBI. After poor production in April (.165 average, .595 OPS), the five-year veteran was improving in June with a .298\/.365\/.426 line.<\/p>\n Jac Caglianone<\/a> took over at first base after Pasquantino left Saturday\u2019s game and he\u2019s getting the start at that position on Sunday. He played 10 games there as a rookie last season and five so far this year. Caglianone was primarily a first baseman in college, playing 85 games at first in two seasons at Florida.<\/p>\n Left-hander Cole Ragans appeared to be on course to return to the Royals\u2019 rotation soon. But he suffered a setback in his recovery from left elbow impingement after throwing a bullpen session.<\/p>\n Advertisement<\/p>\n It\u2019s the second time Ragans hasn\u2019t recovered well following an outing during his rehab assignment. Following a rehab start on May 23, his left elbow didn\u2019t feel right and he didn\u2019t throw until this past Wednesday. Ragans has been on the IL since May 7.<\/p>\n The Royals put pitcher Seth Lugo<\/a> on the 7-day concussion IL earlier this week after he took a line drive to the head in Wednesday\u2019s 6-4 loss to the Texas Rangers<\/a>.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n \u2018 The preceding article may include information circulated by third parties \u2019 <\/em><\/p>\n \u2018 Some details of this article were extracted from the following source sports.yahoo.com \u2019 <\/em><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Vinnie Pasquantino became the second AL Central slugger to suffer a fractured hamate bone in his right hand on Saturday.
