Salvador Perez Scratched Tuesday
6 years agoKansas City Royals catcher Salvador Perez (thumb) was scratched from the lineup on Tuesday due to lingering soreness from his left thumb sprain. Meibrys Viloria took over behind the plate and was hitting eighth against Pirates starter Jameson Taillon on Tuesday. With KC having nothing to play for down the stretch, Perez could see more regular days off. He's just one homer behind his career-high 27 set last year, but he's also hitting a career-low .235 with a .718 OPS.
