Royals' Salvador Perez (intercostal) takes some swings on Monday
Kansas City Royals catcher Salvador Perez (intercostal) took 10-15 swings off a tee at about 30-40 percent effort Monday.
What It Means:
Manager Ned Yost said on Monday that Perez could probably go back to catching now, but swinging the bat is still causing some pain. Yost also noted that Perez will not need a rehab assignment, so hopefully for the Royals' playoff hopes, Perez can come back soon after his 10 days on the DL are up. Until then, Drew Butera and Cam Gallagher will share catching duties.
Once he returns from the disabled list, our models project Perez for .266 batting average, with 4 home runs, 16 RBI, and 13 runs scored over 117 plate appearances remaining this season.
