Salvador Perez (back) starting Thursday for Royals
Kansas City Royals catcher Salvador Perez (back) is in the starting lineup for Thursday afternoon's series finale against right-hander Johnny Cueto and the Chicago White Sox.
Perez was scratched from Wednesday's lineup due to back tightness, but he will catch for Daniel Mengden and hit third a day later. MJ Melendez will move out to left field in place of an idle Kyle Isbel.
Perez has a $3,100 salary on Thursday and numberFire’s models project him for 12.1 FanDuel points. Per our MLB Heat Map, the Royals have the No. 6 implied total (3.80) out of the eight teams on the Early Only slate.
