Kansas City Royals' first baseman Vinnie Pasquantino injured his hamstring, possibly missing Opening Day.

Vinnie Pasquantino, the Kansas City Royals' first baseman, is recovering from a Grade 1-plus hamstring strain and hopes to play in the Opening Day game. His participation depends on his recovery over the next few days. If he can't play, the Royals may use a utility player like Nick Loftin or veteran Mark Canha. Last season, Pasquantino hit .262 in 131 games, and his absence could impact the team's offense.
