Perez is absent from the lineup for Thursday's game against the Rangers. Perez was in the lineup the last two days after missing the previous two contests with a thumb injury. He will take a seat for Thursday's afternoon tilt in what looks to be a routine day off. Carter Jensen is catching and Jac Caglianone is getting a day at designated hitter for the Royals.

Salvador Perez: Breaking News
Good to go Tuesday
Perez (thumb) is back in the lineup for Tuesday's game against Texas. After missing the last two matchups due to a thumb injury, Perez is back and ready to go on Tuesday. The 36-year-old has had a down season to say the least, as he is currently slashing just .204/.254/.345 with nine homers and 26 RBI in 256 plate appearances. Perez will bat fifth and act as the designated hitter in Tuesday's game against the Rangers
Nursing thumb injury
Perez is not in Sunday's lineup against the Twins due to a right thumb injury, Anne Rogers of MLB.com reports. Perez sustained the injury on a wild pitch that hit him in the right thumb in Friday's contest. He'll end up sitting for the last two games of the series against Minnesota, but with an off-day Monday, the Royals are hopeful that Perez will be back in action for Tuesday's series opener against Texas. Carter Jensen will start at catcher for Sunday's game.
