Royals catcher Salvador Perez will likely be given Sunday off to rest his sore calf, MLB.com reports.
"Yes, he'll probably get the day off," manager Ned Yost said Saturday. "It's not the shin, it's the calf. He's got a real big bruise on it and all that blood's draining down toward his ankle. It's still sore ... The more running he does, the more it hurts. He starts off the day feeling pretty good but at the end of the day it's sore, but playable."
Perez was struck on the injured calf by a foul ball during an at-bat on May 2. He has hit .260/.319/.425 with three home runs and 11 RBI in 127 at-bats.
