Perez is out of the lineup for Monday's game against the Cardinals.

Perez started behind the plate in each of the Bucs' first three games, going 3-for-10 with two walks and two runs. He looks to be the Pirates' clear No. 1 backstop, though he'll still likely be subject to at least one or two days off per week. Andrew Knapp will replace Perez in the lineup for the first time in 2022, catching for Zach Thompson in the series finale in St. Louis.
