Perez (quadriceps) will start at catcher and bat seventh Sunday against the Nationals.

Perez was withheld from action in Saturday's 6-4 win due to a bruised left quad, but he may have been scheduled to get a rest day anyway after he started both of the Pirates' previous two contests. The day out of the lineup was apparently enough to resolve Perez's quad issue, as he'll check back in behind the dish for the series finale while forming a battery with starting pitcher Jose Quintana.
