Salvador Perez Dealing With Illness, Status Day-to-Day for Royals

Salvador Perez is listed as day-to-day due to an illness. He was previously dealing with left hip soreness earlier this month. His current batting average for the season is .223 with 3 home runs and 23 RBIs over 48 games.

The Royals are set to play against the Minnesota Twins on May 24, 2025. Freddy Fermin may see more playing time at catcher if Perez is unavailable. Perez's absence could also affect the designated hitter role, where Vinnie Pasquantino is an option.
