Impact Pasquantino suffered the injury during Thursday's game in Houston on a collision at first base. While he could potentially return if the Royals make a deep postseason run, it's likelier that the 26-year-old won't be seen again until spring training. It's a devastating blow to a Royals team that's fighting for a division title and a major hit to Pasquantino's fantasy managers, as well. Nick Pratto or Nick Loftin are options to be called up from Triple-A Omaha to fill in at first base, and the Royals might also give Salvador Perez more action at the position while Freddy Fermin catches.
