Perez isn't in the Royals' lineup Tuesday against the Tigers.

EDGE Analysis

Though Perez will miss his second start after suffering a Grade 1 plus strain in his left hamstring Sunday against Tampa Bay, he participated in activities before Tuesday's game and is progressing nicely, per Anne Rogers of MLB.com. Freddy Fermin will once again start behind the dish and bat sixth while Perez recovers.

Perez has been diagnosed with a Grade 1 plus left hamstring strain, Jaylon T. Thompson of The Kansas City Star reports.

EDGE Analysis

Perez had to depart Sunday's game versus the Rays with the injury and is not in Monday's lineup against the Tigers. It sounds like the Royals are optimistic he can avoid a stint on the injured list, though, with a return in the next few days possible. Freddy Fermin is catching Monday.

EDGE Analysis

The veteran backstop will get at least one day off after he was diagnosed with a left hamstring strain following his early exit in Sunday's 8-4 win over the Rays. The Royals seem to be viewing Perez as day-to-day for the time being, but if he isn't cleared to play by the end of the series with Detroit, a trip to the 10-day injured list could be in the forecast. Felix Fermin will replace Perez behind the dish Monday, catching for starting pitcher Jordan Lyles.

EDGE Analysis

Perez's injury was initially described as discomfort, but he's dealing with a strain. He'll undergo further testing to determine the severity of the issue, and the Royals expect to know more Monday. It's unclear whether the catcher will require a trip to the injured list, but Freddy Fermin and MJ Melendez could see additional time behind the dish if Perez is sidelined.

Perez singled in the first inning and went from first to home on an MJ Melendez double. It's unclear if he injured himself on the play, but Perez was lifted for a pinch hitter the next inning. The game was delayed by an hour due to rain in Kansas City.

Perez went 5-for-8 with a double over both games of Saturday's doubleheader versus Tampa Bay.

EDGE Analysis

Perez was a perfect 4-for-4 in Game 1, notching his first four-hit effort of the campaign. It was a promising start to the second half after the veteran catcher sputtered to a 4-for-43 mark and failed to hit a home run over his final 12 games before the All-Star break. Perez's double in the matinee of the twin bill was his first extra-base hit of any kind since he slugged a long ball June 23 against the Rays.

Perez will be on the bench during Saturday's game against the Guardians.

EDGE Analysis

Perez will hit the bench after starting four consecutive games behind the plate. His numbers suggest he's probably looking forward to the All-Star break, as he's gone 3-for-40 at the plate over his last 11 games. Freddy Fermin will be Saturday's catcher.

Perez (foot) will catch and bat cleanup Tuesday versus the Twins in his return to the lineup.
