Perez (wrist) is not expected to play Wednesday, the Kansas City Star's Rustin Dodd reports.

Perez left Tuesday's game with what is being labeled a right wrist contusion after he was hit on the wrist by a pitch. However, manager Ned Yost admitted that it "wasn't a good sound" when Perez was hit by the pitch, and Yost was unsure about the severity of the injury going forward. That certainly makes it sound as though Perez could have further tests on the wrist, and he could end up missing more time than players typically miss with a contusion. The Royals are off Thursday, so Perez will be out at least until the weekend series against the White Sox. Drew Butera and Tony Cruz will be the two options behind the plate while Perez is out.
