Salvador Perez (wrist) out again on Friday for Kansas City
Kansas City Royals catcher Salvador Perez (wrist) remains out of the starting lineup Friday against the Chicago White Sox.
What It Means:
When Perez swings a bat, his right wrist continues to bother him, so he'll take a seat for a second consecutive game. Drew Butera will again replace him behind the dish. Perez is slashing .254/.297/.454 in 482 plate appearances this season.
Perez's 20 home runs are one shy of tying the most he's hit in a season, while his .199 ISO is a career-high. His .318 wOBA is just below the current league average (.319), however. We project the 26 year-old to hit three more taters and post a .732 OPS over the rest of the year.
