Perez (ribs) was removed from Sunday's game for precautionary reasons, and he's expected to be in the lineup Tuesday against the Giants, Rustin Dodd of The Kansas City Star reports.

The catcher experienced some tightness in his right side, but by all indications, there's nothing for fantasy owners to fret. "[Perez] took a swing and felt a little tightness in here," manager Ned Yost said, pointing to his left side. "He didn't say nothing, and we kept prying, and he said: 'Yeah, it's a little tight.' I'm not taking any chances." After the game, Perez downplayed the issue and said he'd be ready for the three-game set in San Francisco this week.
