Salvador Perez making progress in recovery from concussion
Royals catcher Salvador Perez is feeling fine as he continues to make progress in his recovery from a concussion, MLB.com reports. Perez worked out on a bike for 15 minutes Wednesday before jogging and undergoing physical testing Thursday.
"I did my bike workout yesterday and felt great," Perez told MLB.com Thursday. "I felt nothing in my head. I still feel better every day."
Despite his progress, Perez may not be activated from the seven-day disabled list Sunday when first eligible.
"Sal is an extremely valuable component to our team, and we can't take any chances of anything like that," manager Ned Yost told MLB.com. "We need to make sure we do it right. Of course, like anything it's a healing process and it was a very slight concussion so the healing process is going to be much faster and we are still hoping to stay in the seven-day realm."
Perez has hit .278/.309/.382 with four home runs and 43 RBI in 335 at-bats.
