What happened to Vinnie Pasquantino? Live injury updates for Royals vs. White Sox 8/16/25

Updated:

By: Brendan O'Sullivan

Vinnie Pasquantino exited Saturday’s game between the Royals and White Sox in the first inning due to a heat-related illness.

The first baseman met with a trainer during his nine-pitch at-bat in the bottom of the first inning. It initially seemed that he injured himself on a swing, but it’s instead an illness.

John Rave entered the game to play left field and Nick Loftin moved from left to first base to take Pasquantino’s spot.

Pasquantino is out for the remainder of tonight’s game and does not have a timetable for return. Considering it’s a heat-related illness, he could return as soon as tomorrow.

Eligible customers who bet on Pasquantino tonight will receive cash credits within 24 hours.
