Perez (ribs) is out of the lineup for Wednesday's series finale against the Tigers, Jeffrey Flanagan of MLB.com reports.

Although Perez had been hopeful to play Wednesday after leaving early Tuesday with right-side rib tightness, manager Ned Yost decided it was best to give the catcher a day off to rest. With the team off the schedule Thursday, Perez will actually have two full days to heal, leaving Yost optimistic that he'll be able to play in Friday's series opener with the Red Sox, according to Jeffrey Flanagan of MLB.com. During the Royals' current seven-game win streak, Perez has gone 8-for-25 with two home runs and four RBI.
