Perez isn't in the lineup for Saturday's game against Pittsburgh.

9h agoRotowire

Perez will take a day to regroup after going 0-for-12 with three strikeouts over his last three games. Jac Caglianone (hand) will work as the DH, opening up right field for John Rave.

Perez is out of the lineup for Tuesday's game against the Astros.

4d agoRotowire

The absence ends a run of 27 straight starts for Perez, who has carried a hot bat through 12 games in September with two doubles, two homers, 10 RBI and a .298/.353/.468 slash line. Jac Caglianone is serving as Kansas City's designated hitter Tuesday while John Rave starts in right field.

Perez went 3-for-5 with a double and three RBI in Monday's 5-4 extra-inning loss to the Diamondbacks.

1w agoRotowire

Perez picked up a trio of hits, most notably a bases-clearing double in the 10th inning. The veteran slugger has been much better in the second half, slashing .272/.323/.474 with eight homers, 34 RBI and 17 runs in 46 games since the All-Star break. Overall, he's hitting .230/.274/.387 with 19 homers, 71 RBI and 48 runs across 135 contests.

Perez went 1-for-4 with a two-run home run and a walk in Wednesday's 9-6 loss to the Marlins.

2w agoRotowire

Perez got in on the action of a five-run first inning, crushing a two-run homer off Eury Perez. Over his past 15 games, the veteran slugger is slashing .271/.306/.441 with two homers, 12 RBI and six runs. He's been better of late, but his overall numbers are among the worst of his career, as Perez is hitting .221/.266/.375 with 18 homers, 64 RBI and 47 runs across 130 contests.

Perez went 1-for-3 with a solo home run and a run scored during Saturday's 3-1 win over the Tigers.

4w agoRotowire

Perez connected for only his second long ball of the month and his first since Aug. 1 on Saturday. The 36-year-old extended his hitting streak to a modest four games and has picked up at least one base knock in six of his last seven games. This year, Perez is slashing .220/.265/.373 with 17 homers and 57 RBI in 504 plate appearances.
