MLB Note - Kansas City Royals Perez, Salvador

Jul 27, 2017 - 7:27 AM C Salvador Perez got the night off Wednesday, but he'll be available for the weekend series at Boston. He left Tuesday's game during the fifth inning with right side rib tightness. Manager Ned Yost said Perez could have played Wednesday, but with a travel day on Thursday it made sense to give his No. 1 catcher a two-day break. Perez is having a big offensive season, ranking second on the team in homers (20) and RBIs (62).
