Vinnie Pasquantino - Managing right shoulder discomfortPasquantino was removed from Monday's game against the White Sox due to right shoulder discomfort, Joel Goldberg of Bally Sports Kansas City reports.

ImpactPasquantino appeared to be in pain while swinging his bat in the bottom of the second inning Monday, and he was replaced defensively in the top of the third. The 24-year-old will be further evaluated before the Royals determine his status for the team's upcoming two-game series against the Diamondbacks.

ImpactPasquantino appeared to sustain the injury in question in the bottom of the second, when he looked to be in pain while swinging the bat and flying out to end the inning. Nick Pratto was summoned from the bench a half inning later to replace Pasquantino at first base. The 24-year-old can viewed as day-to-day until the Royals provide more specifics about his injury.

Isaac Paredes - Fills in for Ji-Man Choi on MondayParedes will start at first base and bat third in Monday's game against the Angels, Marc Topkin of the Tampa Bay Times reports.

ImpactHe'll pick up his fourth consecutive start Monday after going 2-for-11 with two doubles and a run over the final three contests of the Rays' weekend series with the Royals. The righty-hitting Paredes should be a fixture in the lineup against southpaws moving forward, but his opportunities versus same-handed pitching will likely be more sporadic. He'll be spelling the lefty-hitting Ji-Man Choi in the lineup Monday with southpaw Tucker Davidson taking the hill for Anaheim.

Manuel Margot - Resting MondayMargot is out of the lineup for Monday's game against the Angels, Marc Topkin of the Tampa Bay Times reports.

ImpactAfter coming off the 10-day injured list Saturday, Margot made starts in right field and designated hitter to close out the weekend series with the Royals, going 1-for-8 at the dish between the Rays' two victories. The Rays may be inclined to give him a lighter workload initially coming off the right knee sprain, but Margot should be a near-everyday player in the outfield moving forward.

Brandon Lowe - Day off MondayLowe is not in the starting lineup for Monday's game against the Angels.

ImpactThe lefty-hitting Lowe will take a seat with southpaw Tucker Davidson toeing the rubber for the Angels. Yu Chang will draw the start at second base and bat fifth Monday.
