Salvador Perez Back Behind The Plate Wednesday
1 year 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.
