Vinnie Pasquantino Fantasy Stats

Kansas City Royals first baseman/designated hitter Vinnie Pasquantino went deep for the sixth time in seven games and the 10th time in August in a 10-8 win over the Detroit Tigers on Sunday. Pasquantino swatted a 429-foot, two-run shot off right-hander Jack Flaherty in the third inning to highlight a 2-for-5 day. He has now driven in 27 runs this month, giving him 92 RBI for the season, and has slashed .264/.324/.480 with 28 homers, 55 runs scored, and a paltry 16.0% strikeout rate in 549 plate appearances. The 27-year-old somewhat quietly ranks near the top of the majors in HRs (12th) and RBI (seventh).

Kansas City Royals first baseman/designated hitter Vinnie Pasquantino (illness) is in the lineup for Sunday's game against the Chicago White Sox. Pasquantino exited the Royals' 6-2 win over the White Sox early on Saturday with a heat-related illness, but he's making a quick return. The 27-year-old will DH and hit third against right-hander Davis Martin, while Salvador Perez will man first base and bat fifth. Pasquantino has put together a respectable .259/.320/.448 line with a career-high 22 homers, 80 RBI, and 48 runs scored in 513 plate appearances this season. He's 3-for-7 with a pair of HRs against Martin.

Kansas City Royals first baseman Vinnie Pasquantino (illness) was removed early during Saturday's game against the Chicago White Sox. Pasquantino was pulled out of the game after his first-inning strikeout due to a heat related illness. This doesn't sound like a serious issue, so Pasquantino should be back in the lineup in a day or two. Nick Loftin took over at first base on Saturday. He could see a start or two over there if Pasquantino misses more time. Fantasy managers should check back on Sunday for another update.

Kansas City Royals first baseman Vinnie Pasquantino was one of the few bright spots for the club in a 4-1 loss to the Chicago White Sox on Saturday. Pasquantino went 3-for-3 with a solo home run and a walk to extend his hitting streak to eight games. The 27-year-old has been on a superb run for over a month. Since posting an awful .507 OPS in April, Pasquantino has gone 49-of-136 (.360) with six HRs and 20 RBI in a 34-game span. Overall, he's batting a respectable .277/.332/.434 with 10 homers and 38 RBI across 271 plate appearances. Pasquantino will try to stay on a roll Sunday against White Sox right-hander Mike Vasil.

Kansas City Royals first baseman Vinnie Pasquantino had a monster day Thursday in a doubleheader against the St. Louis Cardinals. Between the two games, he went 5-for-10 with three RBI as the Royals split the doubleheader. The Royals slugger has been on a tear the last month of the season, as he slashed .330/.375/.464 in May, and has followed that up in June, slashing .444/.474/.500 in four games. After a slow start to the season, Pasquantino has raised his slash line to .267/.319/.403 with eight home runs, 36 RBI, and 23 runs scored. He should continue to heat up as the season goes on, as he is hitting in the middle of the Royals' lineup, who just got better after calling up Jac Caglianone. This should continue to provide the left-handed slugger with plenty of opportunities to drive in and score runs.

Kansas City Royals first baseman Vinnie Pasquantino went 2-for-4 with a two-run home run and a single in Monday's 3-1 win against the San Francisco Giants. The Virginia native broke a scoreless tie in the top of the eighth inning, driving a Tyler Rogers second-pitch slider 399 feet over the right-field wall. Pasquantino has a hit in four straight contests, and has been much better of late, with a .292 average in 72 May at-bats. It's a massive turnaround from the dismal performance he exhibited in April (.172), and the recent stretch has brought his batting average up to .228, to go along with eight home runs, five doubles, 28 RBI, and 17 runs scored. It's nice to see him starting to heat up, but his strikeout rate is inflated quite a bit from his career normal (18.7%), and his walk percentage has declined for a third straight season (5.6%).

Kansas City Royals first baseman Vinnie Pasquantino went 1-for-8 with an RBI and a run scored across two wins over the Colorado Rockies in his team's doubleheader on Thursday. He added one walk and struck out twice. Pasquantino has been disappointing to start 2025. After a solid season last year, he's yet to find his groove at the plate -- hitting a paltry .181 (17-for-94) with six extra-base hits (two home runs), six runs scored, and 15 RBI. The Old Dominion alum has seen his batted ball metrics decline while also striking out quite a bit more (19%) than he had previously. Pasquantino still has some time to turn it around, as he started off relatively slowly last season before turning it on in the summer months.

Kansas City Royals first baseman Vinnie Pasquantino smashed his second home run of the season on Saturday as part of a nice 3-for-4 performance that picked his batting average up to .212 with a .291 wOBA. Vinnie P. has started the season slowly for the Royals but had a big day Saturday. His fourth-inning blast was the only run the team could put on the board against Luis L. Ortiz, though, and ultimately, the Royals lost to Cleveland, 6-3. Both teams are hovering right around .500, headed into the series finale on Sunday, where the Royals will look to avoid the road sweep. Pasquantino will hope this home run is the start of a power surge since he had just a 30.2% hard-hit rate coming into Saturday's game after posting over a 40% hard-hit rate in each of the last three seasons.

Kansas City Royals first baseman Vinnie Pasquantino is not in the starting lineup when the Royals continue a series against the Milwaukee Brewers on Tuesday evening. Pasquantino has been in the lineup for each of the first four games of the regular season. He was in danger of missing Opening Day due to a hamstring injury, but was able to recover in time. On Tuesday, the Royals will give Cavan Biggio the start at first base. Through his first four games, Pasquantino has held a .214/.333/.643 slash line with one double, one triple, and one long ball. He has tallied four RBI and held a 2:2 BB:K. Fantasy managers should expect Pasquantino to return to the starting nine on Wednesday when the Royals will face Milwaukee ace Freddy Peralta.

Kansas City Royals first baseman Vinnie Pasquantino (hamstring) is in the Opening Day lineup. Pasquantino will serve as the designated hitter and bat in the three-hole behind Jonathan India and Bobby Witt Jr. Pasquantino suffered a Grade 1-plus hamstring strain earlier in the week but has been cleared to serve as a DH. Fantasy managers should continue to monitor his status as the Royals may opt to ease him into defensive work. During spring training, Pasquantino posted a .208/.216/.417 slash line with four doubles and two home runs across 17 games. Last season, the 27-year-old logged a career-high 131 contests and held a .262/.315/.446 slash line with 19 long balls. He showed an elite eye at the plate with a 12.8 percent strikeout rate and generated a solid .331 xwOBA. He carries high RBI upside batting behind Witt and is a solid play in DFS facing Cleveland right-hander Tanner Bibee.
