Gavin Sheets - On bench WednesdaySheets isn't starting Wednesday against the Royals.

ImpactEven with right-hander Zack Greinke on the mound Wednesday, Sheets will get a chance to reset after he went 1-for-11 with a walk and three strikeouts over the last three games. Andrew Vaughn will serve as the designated hitter while Adam Engel starts in right field.

Josh Harrison - Not starting WednesdayHarrison isn't starting Wednesday against the Royals.

ImpactHarrison started in both games during Tuesday's doubleheader, and he went 2-for-6 with a double, a run, a walk and a strikeout. He'll get a breather while Leury Garcia starts at the keystone and bats seventh.

Michael A. Taylor - Scratched from Wednesday's lineupTaylor was scratched from Wednesday's lineup against the White Sox for an undisclosed reason.

ImpactTaylor went 2-for-3 with a double, an RBI and a strikeout in Tuesday's doubleheader and was initially slated to start in center field and bat seventh Wednesday. However, Kyle Isbel will now shift to center field while Emmanuel Rivera enters the lineup at third base. It's not yet clear whether Taylor is dealing with an injury or whether he'll be available off the bench.

Kyle Isbel - Gets fourth consecutive startIsbel will start in right field and bat eighth in Wednesday's game against the White Sox.

ImpactThe 25-year-old will be making his fourth consecutive start Wednesday, and he looks like he could get the chance to play regularly against right-handed pitching in the wake of Salvador Perez (thumb) moving to the injured list. With Perez out of commission, MJ Melendez will take over as the Royals' primary catcher, thereby allowing Hunter Dozier to see more work as a designated hitter or first baseman while Isbel picks up starts in the outfield.

Vinnie Pasquantino - Showing power, patience in Triple-APasquantino is hitting .240/.362/.512 with eight homers and a 22:23 BB:K through 35 games for Triple-A Omaha.

ImpactIt's not a bad batting line, but the batting average certainly has to be considered disappointing for a guy with Pasquantino's contact skills. That said, he's sitting on a .226 BABIP, so he should be able to pull his average up as the season wears on. Right now, it looks like Pasquantino is likely to beat fellow Royals first-base prospect Nick Pratto to the big leagues, though the team seems content to wait for both of them to force their way up.
