Royals' Vinnie Pasquantino: Undergoes shoulder surgery
Rotowire
Pasquantino underwent surgery Wednesday to repair the torn labrum in his right shoulder, Anne Rogers of MLB.com reports.
Pasquantino was diagnosed with the season-ending labrum tear a couple weeks ago. He is aiming to be ready for the beginning of the 2024 campaign, though there probably won't be a clearer picture on his overall recovery timetable until the winter months. The 25-year-old first baseman finishes at a .247/.324/.437 slash line with nine homers and 26 RBI over 61 games in 2023.

Royals' Vinnie Pasquantino: Shifts to 60-day IL
Rotowire
Kansas City transferred Pasquantino (shoulder) from the 15-day injured list to the 60-day injured list Sunday.
Pasquantino will miss the rest of the 2023 season after undergoing season-ending shoulder surgery, so this is just a procedural move that clears room on the 40-man roster. The Royals used that created room to select the contract of Matt Beaty from Triple-A Omaha.
Royals' Vinnie Pasquantino: Needs surgery, done for season
Rotowire
The Royals announced Wednesday that Pasquantino (shoulder) will undergo surgery to repair a torn labrum and is expected to miss the remainder of the 2023 season.
The 25-year-old was placed on the 10-day injured list last weekend with right shoulder discomfort before follow-up tests revealed a more serious injury. Pasquantino will inevitably be moved to 60-day IL in the near future, which will open a spot on the 40-man roster. He finishes his 2023 season having produced a .247 batting average with nine home runs, 26 RBI and 24 runs scored over 259 plate appearances in 61 games.
