Salvador Perez S. Perez

Salvador Perez (groin) catching for Royals in early game Wednesday

Kansas City Royals catcher Salvador Perez (groin) is in the lineup for Game 1 of Wednesday's doubleheader versus right-hander Jonathan Cannon and the Chicago White Sox.

What It Means:

Perez injured his groin in Monday's series opener and was held out of Tuesday's lineup before the game was rained out, but he's good to go for the early contest on Wednesday afternoon. The 33-year-old veteran will catch for Brady Singer and bat cleanup for the Royals. Freddy Fermin will likely draw the start at catcher for the second game.

numberFire's models project Perez for 9.6 FanDuel points on Wednesday. Per our MLB Heat Map, the Royals' implied total (4.83) is second-best in the majors today.
