Salvador Perez: Breaking News

Tallies fifth homer Tuesday

Perez went 2-for-5 with a solo home run in Tuesday's win over the Athletics. Perez opened the scoring for the Royals with a solo blast off Hogan Harris in the sixth inning to tie the game at one apiece. After a slow start to the season, the veteran backstop has begun to heat up, going 6-for-15 (.400) with two homers and four RBI across his past three appearances. Overall, Perez owns a .196 batting average and .586 OPS with five homers, three doubles, 10 RBI and 10 runs through 28 games.

Launches homer Saturday

Perez went 3-for-5 with a home run, an additional RBI and an additional run scored in Saturday's win over the Angels. Perez launched his fourth homer of the season with a solo shot to left field in the bottom of the second inning, and he later plated a run with an RBI single in the following frame, scoring Bobby Witt. Despite Saturday's strong outing, the backstop continues to have an underwhelming season, owning a .186 average with a .555 OPS through 108 plate appearances.

Could see more DH time

Royals manager Matt Quatraro said prior to Sunday's game against the Yankees that Perez could see more of his starts at designated hitter over the next few days since the veteran backstop has been dealing with a sore hip of late, Joel Goldberg of Bally Sports Kansas City reports. Perez will be in the lineup at DH for the series finale Sunday, one day after he received his first day off of the season in what Quatraro termed as a "mental breather." Though Perez suggested in a post on social media Saturday that he didn't agree with Quatraro's assessment, the skipper said that the two talked Sunday and have put any potential discord behind them. Perez appears set to get a break from catching for the next few games but should remain a near-everyday player for the Royals, despite getting off to a rough start to the season. Over 81 plate appearances, the 36-year-old is currently sitting on a .517 OPS, which would be the lowest mark of his career by 175 points.
