Roberto Perez sitting for Cleveland on Thursday

Cleveland Indians catcher Roberto Perez is not starting against the Chicago White Sox in Thursday's series finale.

What It Means:

Perez went 1-for-4 with a strikeout in his return Wednesday after being unavailable in the previous two contests as a result of being hit in the hand by a pitch on Sunday. Yan Gomes is starting at catcher for the Indians on Thursday.

Perez is averaging 4.5 FanDuel points per game this season. numberFire's models project him to hit .197 with 2 homers and 8 RBI while playing a reserve role over the rest of the year.
