• Royals' Salvador Perez: Clubs 11th homer

  12D ago • By RotoWire Staff

  Perez went 1-for-4 with a solo home run in Kansas City's 3-2 loss to Oakland on Sunday. The slugging catcher has been relatively quiet lately, but he mashed his 11th long ball of the year with this third-inning solo blast off Oakland starter Sean Manaea to account for one of his team's two runs in the game. His .237 average is lagging behind his career mark of .269, but he's still providing his customary level of power, as Sunday's blast puts him on pace for 28 homers for the season after he hit 27 last year.

  Perez went 2-for-4 with a two-run home run Sunday against the Rangers. Perez took Cole Hamels deep in the third inning for his ninth home run of the season. While he has just a .284 on-base percentage for the season, he's shown plenty of power with nearly half of his 32 hits going for extra-bases. That hasn't slowed of late, as he now has four home runs in his past 10 games.

  Perez went 2-for-4 with four RBI in Kansas City's 8-2 victory over the Rangers on Thursday.

• Royals' Salvador Perez: Homers against Yankees

  05/19/2018 • By RotoWire Staff

  Perez went 2-for-3 with a home run, a double and three RBI as the Royals topped the Yankees 5-2 on Friday. Perez had seen his average dip to .244 after a brief 0-for-11 skid, but he broke out of that with his sixth long ball of the season, moving his OPS back up to .802 since his return to action from the disabled list. Perez's proven track record as a power-hitting catcher as well as his reliably heavy workload should allow him to continue functioning as one of the better fantasy options at the position throughout the season.
