Kansas City Royals slugger Vinnie Pasquantino will be out for the remainder of the 2023 season. The team announced on Wednesday that he will undergo surgery to repair a torn labrum in his right shoulder.
Pasquantino has been sidelined since June 9th after exiting a game against the Baltimore Orioles. This is the same shoulder that gave him problems last year. In 2022, he missed three weeks with shoulder soreness.
Only playing in 72 games last season, the Royals were hoping he would get a full season of development under his belt this year. It will be a long season for the slugger as he wants to compete with his team.
Pasquantino is one of Kansas City's better hitters, so the loss is quite the sting. If the Royals want to turn around their season, it will have to come from players outside of Pasquantino.

Even with the down season the Royals are having, it would have benefitted both the team and Pasquantino to get a full year of service this season. It could have been a player they could have traded at the deadline to a contender.
The season started as a bummer and will likely finish that way for the Royals. This will be a season that fans will want to forget.
