The Kansas City Royals are fighting to make back-to-back postseason trips, entering Tuesday sitting 3.5 games back of the third wild card spot and in the midst of a four-game winning streak.
Kansas City defeated the Texas Rangers on Monday, 4–3, without catcher Salvador Perez, who was inserted into the starting lineup but was scratched moments later with an illness.
In his fourteenth major-league season, Perez has shown no signs of slowing down as he’s transitioned to make starts as designated hitter and first base to get his bat in the lineup more consistently.
The 35-year-old veteran has posted a .244 batting average, .737 OPS, 22 home runs, and 70 RBIs across 119 games for Kansas City.
