O'Hoppe (shoulder) will report to Single-A Inland Empire this week to begin a rehab assignment, J.P. Hoornstra of the Los Angeles Daily News reports.

O'Hoppe has been sidelined since late April while working his way back from surgery to repair a torn labrum. He's reached the final stage of his arduous recovery program by heading out on a rehab assignment, but because of his lengthy layoff, O'Hoppe will likely require most of the 20-day rehab window to regain his timing at the plate before he's activated from the 60-day injured list. Once he's activated, O'Hoppe could supplant Matt Thaiss as the Angels' everyday catcher.

Perez was diagnosed with a bruised left hand after exiting Sunday's game against the Phillies after two innings, Jaylon T. Thompson of The Kansas City Star reports.

While serving as the Royals' starting catcher Sunday, Perez went 1-for-1 with a base hit and a run before leaving the contest following his second plate appearance of the day, when he was hit in the hand by a pitch. Fortunately for the veteran backstop, initial scans ruled out any structural damage. Perez could be dealing with soreness or swelling to the hand, however, making it uncertain if he'll be ready to return to the lineup for Monday's series opener in Boston.

Perez was removed from Sunday's game against the Phillies after being hit by a pitch on the hand, Joel Goldberg of Bally Sports Kansas Cityreports.

Perez ran the bases after being hit by a pitch during the top of the second inning but didn't take the field for the bottom of the frame. Freddy Fermin has taken over behind the plate, which forced the Royals to give up the designated hitter for the remainder of Sunday's contest. Perez is likely to undergo precautionary X-rays and should be considered day-to-day until more information is available.

Perez (thumb) will partake in baseball activities before Sunday's game against the Giants before joining Triple-A Las Vegas to begin a rehab assignment Tuesday, the Associated Press reports.

Perez has been sidelined for just over a month with his thumb fracture, but he's been making steady progress over the last couple of weeks in particular. The veteran's rehab assignment figures to last at least 3-to-4 games given the amount of time he's been sidelined.

Fermin went 2-for-4 with a pair of solo home runs in Saturday's 9-6 loss to the Phillies.

Fermin continues to sizzle in the second half of the season, with the pair of home runs giving him four since the All-Star break and bringing his OPS up to 1.107 in the second half. While Nick Pratto (groin) has been on the injured list, the Royals have made room for both Fermin and Salvador Perez in the lineup, with the latter usually occupying Pratto's spot at first base. However, Perez will get a turn behind the dish in Sunday's series finale while Fermin serves as the Royals' designated hitter.

Rogers is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Rays.

Rogers started the first two games of the series versus Tampa Bay but will take a seat for Sunday's finale. Eric Haase will work behind the plate and bat eighth.

Wong is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Blue Jays, Mac Cerullo of the Boston Herald reports.

He'll get a breather for the series finale after starting behind the dish for each of the Red Sox's last three contests. Reese McGuire will handle the catching duties Sunday.

Jansen (wrist) is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Red Sox.

Jansen will be on the bench for a second straight day while he contends with an inflamed right wrist. Alejandro Kirk will get another turn behind the dish in Jansen's stead, catching for starting pitcher Chris Bassitt.

Perez was recalled from Triple-A Charlotte on Sunday.

The 26-year-old will join the major-league roster with Seby Zavala (oblique) landing on the injured list. Perez should operate as Chicago's backup catcher with Yasmani Grandal handling the bulk of the work.

Zavala was placed on the 10-day injured list Sunday with a strained left oblique.

Zavala has apparently been dealing with the injury for the past few days since he hasn't seen the field since going 1-for-3 with a solo homer Wednesday. Carlos Perez was called up in a corresponding move, while Yasmani Grandal should serve as the White Sox's top option behind the plate.
