Vinnie Pasquantino is not in the Royals’ starting lineup for Sunday afternoon’s series finale against the Pirates.

It appears to be nothing more than a routine day of rest for the 28-year-old slugger, which has to be frustrating for fantasy managers as Pasquantino is coming off of two straight two-hit games and has homered twice in his last four contests. Salvador Perez will cover first base in his absence while Luke Maile draws a start behind the dish and will bat eighth against the Pirates.
