Vinnie Pasquantino Heating Up as Royals Head to Minnesota

Pasquantino has been hot lately, hitting .333 with a stellar .448 on-base percentage over his last seven days. This recent surge is a massive lift for the fifth-place Royals (24-38) in the AL Central. Fully healthy after a brief back tightness scare in April, he remains locked into the everyday first baseman role.

Under the hood, the metrics suggest this streak is a genuine return to form. While his overall .214 season average is underwhelming, his superb plate discipline supports our projection of a rest-of-season rebound toward a .260 average and 20 home runs, aligning closer to his 32-homer breakout campaign in 2025.

For the remaining four games this week, Pasquantino faces Minnesota on the road. He draws favorable matchups against high-ERA starters Andrew Morris (4.50 ERA) and Connor Prielipp (5.26 ERA), with Joe Ryan representing his only major hurdle. Lock him into your lineups. Verdict: Start.
