Kameron Misner - Getting regular run in center Misner will start in center field and bat seventh in Sunday's game against the Astros.

Impact Misner will draw a fourth straight start after going 4-for-9 with a walk and three RBI over the prior three contests. The 28-year-old looks poised to handle an everyday role in center field for Kansas City while Kyle Isbel (foot) is on the shelf.

Lane Thomas - Goes yard in loss Thomas went 1-for-3 with a solo home run, an additional run scored and a walk in Saturday's 8-7 loss to the Astros.

Impact Thomas jumped on a center-cut sinker from Mike Burrows in the fourth inning, blasting a 432-foot homer into the fountains at Kauffman Stadium for his third long ball of the season. The veteran outfielder has been productive when called upon in June, going 9-for-30 (.300) with two homers, six RBI, six runs and five walks across 11 appearances. With Vinnie Pasquantino (hand) expected to miss significant time, Thomas could see additional opportunities in right field with Jac Caglianone shifting to first base.

Carter Jensen - Drives in three runs Saturday Jensen went 2-for-5 with two doubles, three RBI and a run scored in Saturday's 8-7 loss to the Astros.

Impact Jensen doubled up on doubles, with his second two-bagger of the night coming with the bases loaded and clearing the bases in the sixth inning. The catcher is in the midst of a modest six-game hitting streak, during which he has gone 7-for-24 (.292) with a homer, four doubles, seven RBI and five runs scored. On the year, the 22-year-old is slashing .220/.289/.393 with eight homers, 13 doubles, 35 RBI and 29 runs across 242 plate appearances.

Vinnie Pasquantino has hand surgery, faces up to 6 weeks out in the latest injury blow to the Royals

Kansas City Royals first baseman Vinnie Pasquantino has undergone surgery for a fractured hamate bone in his right hand

2 DAYS AGO • Associated Press

Vinnie Pasquantino - Looking at 4-to-6-week recovery Royals manager Matt Quatraro said that Pasquantino underwent surgery Sunday to repair a fractured hamate bone in his right hand and will face a recovery timeline of roughly 4-to-6...

Impact The projected timeline is a fairly standard one for hamate surgeries and likely indicates that the Royals plan on holding Pasquantino out through the All-Star break in mid-July. Jac Caglianone is slated to start at first base in Sunday's game against the Astros and should see the bulk of the playing time at the position for the duration of Pasquantino's stint on the 10-day injured list.

John Rave - Joins big club The Royals recalled Rave from Triple-A Omaha on Sunday.

Impact Rave failed to make Kansas City's Opening Day roster and has enjoyed a strong start to the season at Omaha, posting a .278/.395/.475 slash lien with 10 homers and 16 steals in 60 games. The 28-year-old will now join the Royals as outfield depth, taking the roster spot of Vinnie Pasquantino (hand).

Vinnie Pasquantino - Out with hamate fracture The Royals placed Pasquantino (hand) on the 10-day injured list Sunday due to a right hamate fracture.

Impact The 28-year-old sustained the injury during Saturday's contest and now seems likely to be sidelined at least through the All-Star break, though he's currently without an official timeline for his return. Jac Caglianone replaced Pasquantino at first base Saturday and is also starting there Sunday, while John Rave was called up from Triple-A Omaha to bolster Kansas City's bench.

Noah Cameron - Can't escape fifth inning Saturday Cameron didn't factor into the decision Saturday against the Astros. He allowed four runs on seven hits, including two home runs, while striking out one across 4.1 innings.

Impact Cameron wasn't at his best Saturday and saw the end of a four-start streak in which he'd given up two or fewer earned runs. This was also the first time Cameron gave up multiple homers in a game since April 18, when he allowed two long balls against the Yankees. Cameron has a 4.11 ERA and 1.21 WHIP across 13 starts and 70 innings this season, but his 3.49 FIP suggests he's been pitching better than what his ERA indicates. He's slated to make his next start at home against the Cardinals.

Alex Lange - Tagged with loss Saturday Lange (0-4) was tagged with the loss Saturday against the Astros after allowing a run on one hit and a walk across 1.2 innings. He struck out one.

Impact Lange entered the game at the top of the eighth inning and retired Jake Meyers and Brice Matthews to keep the game tied. However, he couldn't do it in the ninth and allowed the game-winning run when Joey Loperfido crossed home plate on an RBI groundout from Christian Walker. Lange enjoyed a run of nine straight appearances without allowing a run between May 20 and June 9, but he's given up three over his last two outings (2.2 innings). He owns a 4.13 ERA and 1.44 WHIP so far this season across 32.2 frames.

Vinnie Pasquantino - Suffers hamate injury Saturday The Royals announced that Pasquantino sustained a right hamate injury in Saturday's game against the Astros.

Impact It's not good news for the Kansas City first baseman, who could be looking at an extended absence if he's dealing with a fracture. Pasquantino was removed from the contest after popping out in the bottom of the fifth inning. Over his previous 14 games, Pasquantino had slashed .309/.397/.436 with four doubles, one homer and eight RBI, so it's certainly bad timing, as he'd just been starting to heat up at the plate after an extremely slow start to the season.
