Perez will start at catcher and bat ninth in the order Sunday against the Yankees.

After Jonathan Lucroy vetoed a trade from the Brewers to Indians last weekend, the Indians will have to get by with Perez and Chris Gimenez as their catchers until Yan Gomes (shoulder) returns from the DL. Perez appears to be in line to see the bulk of the starts behind the plate, as he'll get the nod Sunday for the third time in four games. That could boost his value in AL-only leagues, but his .050/.245/.050 batting line across 53 plate appearances to date means he shouldn't be viewed as an option yet in most mixed formats.
