Salvador Perez Back Behind The Plate Tuesday
1 year agoKansas City Royals catcher Salvador Perez (hand) is doing the catching and is batting cleanup for the Royals on Tuesday against right-hander Kutter Crawford and the Boston Red Sox. Perez suffered a left-hand bruise after getting hit by a pitch on Sunday against the Philadelphia Phillies, but he's fine now and ready to roll. The 33-year-old eight-time All-Star should be returned to starting fantasy lineups right away. Perez is hitting .247 (18-for-73) with two home runs, four doubles, five RBI and five runs scored in 20 starts since the All-Star break. The Venezuelan veteran doesn't really hit for average anymore and doesn't get on base all that often, but he continues to be useful for his power stroke at the weakest position in fantasy.
