Salvador Perez in at catcher for Royals on Monday

Kansas City Royals catcher Salvador Perez is starting on Monday against the Tampa Bay Rays.

What It Means:

After getting Sunday off, Perez will catch right-hander Ian Kennedy and bat fifth versus Rays righty Austin Pruitt on Monday night. He's gone 3-for-15 (.200) with 7 strikeouts since being activated from the disabled list on August 22. Drew Butera will be available off the Royals' bench.

With a strong implied total (5.05) in a batter-friendly matchup (10.0 over/under, 1.072 park factor), the Royals offer plenty of fantasy upside on Monday. numberFire's models project Perez to score 9.9 FanDuel points at a cost of $2,800.
