Roberto Perez Back, Oscar Mercado Out
5 years agoCleveland Indians catcher Roberto Perez (concussion) is back behind the plate on Friday and is hitting sixth against Rays starting pitcher Blake Snell. Outfielder Oscar Mercado (hip), who suffered a hip contusion in an outfield collision on Thursday, is out. Eric Haase is serving as the designated hitter and is batting eighth, but he should be avoided in all fantasy leagues. Perez, who missed several days with a mild concussion, also isn't much to look at from an offensive standpoint, as he's hitting just .228 (23-for-101) with six homers and 14 RBI on the season. Jordan Luplow is in the cleanup spot again but faces a tough matchup in Snell.
