Giants' Roberto Perez: Has season-ending shoulder surgery
Roberto Perez underwent season-ending surgery Wednesday to repair his right rotator cuff, Danny Emerman of KNBR 680 San Francisco reports.Perez suffered a severe strain of his right rotator cuff in just his second week with the San Francisco Giants after starting behind the plate in five of their first seven games. He'll be a free agent this winter. Joey Bart now has another opportunity to establish himself as the immediate and long-term answer at catcher in San Francisco, though Rule 5 pick Blake Sabol has also been a factor in the early going. Gary Sanchez is currently getting built up at Triple-A Sacramento after recently joining the organization on a minor-league deal.

Giants' Roberto Perez: Exits early with injury
Roberto Perez left Friday's game against the Royals after throwing to second base in an attempt to catch Kyle Isbel stealing, Evan Webeck of The San Jose Mercury News reports.Perez immediately headed for the dugout after making the throw, seemingly in quite a bit of pain. The San Francisco Giants will take a look at him and should provide an update relatively soon. If he's forced to remain out for an extended period of time, Blake Sabol would become the only active catcher on San Francisco's roster. Joey Bart (back) is set to begin a rehab assignment soon, but depending on the severity of Perez's injury, his return could be accelerated.

Giants' Roberto Perez: Serving as primary backstop
Roberto Perez will start at catcher and bat ninth in Monday's game against the White Sox, Alex Pavlovic of NBC Sports Bay Area reports.Perez has now started behind the dish in three of the San Francisco Giants' first four games of the season, and he'll likely remain the team's preferred option behind the dish for the foreseeable future after Joey Bart (back) was moved to the injured list over the weekend. The Giants have Rule 5 pick Blake Sabol on hand as another option at catcher, but he should see the bulk of his action in left field while Mitch Haniger (oblique) is on the shelf. Perez has gone 1-for-6 with four strikeouts through his first two games and is a career .207/.298/.359 hitter (77 wRC+) over parts of 10 seasons in the majors, so he likely won't be anything more than a low-end No. 2 option in leagues that start two catchers while he's receiving steady plate appearances.

Giants' Roberto Perez: Joins roster, starting Opening Day
The San Francisco Giants selected Roberto Perez's contract Thursday, and he'll start at catcher and bat ninth in San Francisco's Opening Day game at Yankee Stadium, Danny Emerman of KNBR 680 San Francisco reports.The team had already made it known a few days earlier that Perez would make the Opening Day roster, but it's still somewhat surprising that he's getting the starting nod Thursday over Joey Bart, who had been expected to see the lion's share of the work behind the dish in 2023. The fact that Perez is drawing the first start of the season could hint that a timeshare between the two backstops could be in place until Bart shows more improved plate discipline after he struck out at a 38.5 percent clip in 2022.
