Salvador Perez Catches First Game Without Issue
5 years agoKansas City Royals catcher Salvador Perez (elbow) finally got his chance to get back behind home plate, catching his first game since September of 2018 on Friday. Perez was able to block pitches in the dirt and throw down to second without issue, and he told reporters afterward that he felt great and was excited to get to work with the team's new pitchers. Perez also got to catch for longtime friend, Mike Montgomery, who was a teammate of Perez's in the minor leagues a decade ago. With Perez back in the lineup, one of the American League's most productive offensive catchers will be fantasy relevant once again.
