Salvador Perez Returns On Saturday
1 year agoKansas City Royals catcher Salvador Perez (hand) is back behind the plate and is hitting third on Saturday against the Los Angeles Angels and right-hander Griffin Canning. Perez was hit in the hand by a pitch in Wednesday's series finale against the Boston Red Sox and was held out of the series opener against the Angels on Friday, but he's back now and should be returned to starting fantasy lineups on Saturday. The 33-year-old veteran is hitting only .227 (10-for-44) so far this month with two doubles, two home runs and five RBI, but he remains one of the best offensive catchers in baseball at the shallowest fantasy position. Overall, Salvy is still hitting solid .274 (66-for-241) with 14 homers and 37 RBI.
