I’ve updated the post to include the info from Anne Rogers that Vinnie has a broken right thumb and is expected to be out six to eight weeks. Just awful news for Vinnie and the Royals.

Since you posted this, the team announced Vinnie has a broken thumb and it looks like he's done for the rest of the year.

All hope isn't lost, though. Salvy can move to first and Fermin can become the primary catcher. That's the better defensive alignment for this team, anyway.

A bunch of mediocre hitters got dropped on waivers. The Royals surely can get ONE of them to fill in as a DH/OF/1B. None will be Vinnie, but they might be close enough to keep things going. While they wait for the waiver claims to go through, I expect Austin Nola to be recalled.
