Salvador Perez Back Behind The Plate Wednesday
10 months agoKansas City Royals catcher Salvador Perez (hamstring) is back behind the plate and is hitting cleanup for the Royals on Wednesday against left-hander Eduardo Rodriguez and the visiting Detroit Tigers. A left-hamstring strain kept Perez out of the team's starting lineup the last few games, but he'll be back for fantasy managers on Wednesday. It's a tough matchup for the 33-year-old All-Star catcher, though, and he's hit just .154 with a home run and three RBI in a small sample size of 13 at-bats against Rodriguez in his career. Still, Perez should be returned to starting lineups in redraft leagues now that he's back. Perez currently has a four-game hitting streak in which he's gone 7-for-12 with a double and two runs scored.
