Salvador Perez Exits Early After Hit By Pitch
2 years agoKansas City Royals catcher Salvador Perez (hand) exited Wednesday's contest early against the Cincinnati Reds after being hit in the hand by a pitch from starter Ben Lively in the third inning. It didn't look good, but fantasy managers will want to check back later for another update on Perez's condition. The 33-year-old backstop will likely undergo X-rays, but hopefully he's just dealing with a contusion and is day-to-day. Before departing the game prematurely, Perez went 0-for-1 with the hit by pitch and a strikeout. Maikel Garcia replaced him as the team's designated hitter. Entering the game, the Venezuelan catcher was hitting .275 (66-for-240) with 14 home runs and 37 RBI in 61 games. The seven-time All-Star is still one of the best offensive catchers in fantasy baseball.
