Vinnie Pasquantino Gets Breather From Royals Lineup Thursday

Kansas City Royals first baseman Vinnie Pasquantino is absent from the starting lineup for Thursday's series finale against the Houston Astros. After going 1-for-7 with a home run through the first two games of the series, Pasquantino is receiving a routine day of rest. Salvador Perez is slated to slot in at first base for the Royals in his absence as the team plays out the rubber match in Houston.
