Indians' Roberto Perez sitting on Thursday

Cleveland Indians catcher Roberto Perez is out of the lineup as the Indians host the Kansas City Royals on Thursday night.

What It Means:

Perez went 1-for-3 with a solo homer in last night's start. But, despite Perez' success, Yan Gomes will be back to catch Thursday's starter, Josh Tomlin.

Now with 6 dingers on the year, we like Perez to add 1 more homer, 1 double and 3 RBI in 28 plate appearances the rest of the season.
