Perez is out of the lineup Sunday against the Mariners.

Perez has gone a collective 0-for-9 while starting the last three games behind the dish, dropping his season batting average to .150. The Angels value Perez more for his defensive abilities, but he may need to show a little more aptitude with the bat if he hopes to hold off veteran Geovany Soto for playing time. Soto will start at catcher Sunday and has gotten off to a 6-for-19 (.316 average) start to the season.
