Yankees' Jose Trevino: Injures quad Friday
Trevino suffered a quadriceps injury during Friday's win over the Orioles, Bryan Hoch of MLB.com reports.
Trevino was replaced behind the dish in the ninth inning after scoring a run in the top of the frame, and he was later seen limping out of the dugout during a bench-clearing scrum between the two teams. He's slated to undergo an evaluation Saturday, at which point the Yankees will have a better idea of how much time -- if any -- the 31-year-old backstop will miss.

Royals' Salvador Perez: Exits due to cramps
Perez was removed from Friday's game against the Red Sox due to cramping.
The Royals didn't specify where exactly Perez was hurting, but he was apparently in enough discomfort to warrant his removal in the eighth inning. His status for Saturday's contest is unclear, though it's possible he receives a day off in order to manage the issue.
