Perez is not in the lineup for Thursday's game against the Mets.

Kevin Plawecki will handle catching duties and hit seventh against right-hander Noah Syndergaard. Perez remains the Indians' starting catcher despite slashing just .154/.241/.288 across 16 games during August. The right-handed-hitting backstop owns a .223 batting average and has 63 strikeouts in 202 at-bats against righties.
