Royals\u2019 6-5 loss<\/a>. Afterward, he shared a health assessment.<\/p>\n\u201cI feel pretty good,\u201d Perez said. \u201cFirst game in I think nine days, eight days out of catching and I was the DH. I feel great. I feel great today. Thank God that I feel healthy. And let\u2019s see what Q decides for tomorrow.\u201d<\/p>\n
Perez is hoping to catch again Wednesday.<\/p>\n
\u201cYou know me,\u201d Perez said, \u201cI like to catch every day.\u201d<\/p>\n
Rookie Carter Jensen has been the main replacement behind the dish with Perez spending time at DH. Jensen, the former Park Hill High School star, has had an uneven time defensively. He\u2019s been charged with four passed balls and Royals pitchers have thrown nine wild pitches in his 20 games.<\/p>\n
Perez doesn\u2019t have a passed ball this season in 17 games and pitchers have thrown five wild pitches.<\/p>\n
Royals\u2019 plan for Perez<\/p>\n
Quatraro said the Royals plan to monitor how Perez feels after Tuesday\u2019s game before making a decision on how much time he\u2019ll get as a catcher. But Quatraro hopes to get Perez more time defensively.<\/p>\n
\u201cWe don\u2019t want to get too far ahead of ourselves, because we\u2019ll have to read it day by day,\u201d Quatraro said. \u201cIt would be great to have him back in a full-time capacity, you know, whatever that is, two out of three (games), or, you know, play that out over the course of a week. But I don\u2019t know if that\u2019s what\u2019s going to happen or not, because we\u2019ll literally take it day by day.\u201d<\/p>\n
Perez, who turned 36 on Sunday, is batting .191 with five home runs, five doubles and 17 RBIs in 39 games.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Salvador Perez walked into the visiting clubhouse at Rate Field, roughly 2 and 1\/2 hours before the Royals\u2019…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":697566,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":"","_share_on_mastodon":"0"},"categories":[2387],"tags":[5,59102,936,2123,55,2596,2595,2602,4,252,373,5176,2122,396],"class_list":{"0":"post-697565","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-kansas-city-royals","8":"tag-baseball","9":"tag-brian-sweeney","10":"tag-kansas","11":"tag-kansas-city","12":"tag-kansas-city-royals","13":"tag-kansascity","14":"tag-kansascityroyals","15":"tag-matt-quatraro","16":"tag-mlb","17":"tag-royals","18":"tag-salvador-perez","19":"tag-stephen-kolek","20":"tag-the-royals","21":"tag-white-sox"},"share_on_mastodon":{"url":"https:\/\/channels.im\/@mlb\/116565403481269486","error":""},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/mlb\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/697565","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/mlb\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/mlb\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/mlb\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/mlb\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=697565"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/mlb\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/697565\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/mlb\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/697566"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/mlb\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=697565"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/mlb\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=697565"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/mlb\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=697565"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
