Royals' Vinnie Pasquantino: Exits with right shoulder injury
Pasquantino left Friday's game against the Orioles with right shoulder discomfort, Jaylon T. Thompson of The Kansas City Star reports. He went 0-for-3 before exiting.
Pasquantino was replaced by Matt Duffy at first base. It's likely Pasquantino will likely undergo further testing on the shoulder to determine the severity of the injury, but at this point the 25-year-old should be considered day-to-day.

Royals' Vinnie Pasquantino: Three hits, two RBI in win
Pasquantino went 3-for-5 with a double and two RBI in Monday's 7-0 win over the Cardinals.
Pasquantino's RBI double in the third inning was ultimately all the Royals needed. The first baseman has hit safely in four of his last five games, going 8-for-23 (.348) in that span. While it's a small sample, it's also an encouraging return to form after he struggled at the plate for a couple of weeks in May. For the season, Pasquantino is slashing .262/.341/.466 with nine home runs, 26 RBI, 22 runs scored and 15 doubles through 54 contests.

Pasquantino went 3-for-4 with a double, an RBI and a walk in Wednesday's 6-4 loss to the Tigers.
Pasquantino had gone 11 games without a multi-hit effort entering Wednesday, a span in which he hit an awful .095 (4-for-42) with two home runs and a 3:9 BB:K. In terms of breaking out of a slump, Wednesday was a solid first step for Pasquantino, who was one of the Royals' most consistent hitters early in the season. He's still slashing .262/.347/.481 with nine homers, 24 RBI, 22 runs scored and 14 doubles through 50 contests.
