Royals' Freddy Fermin: On bench again Wednesday
Fermin is out of the lineup for Wednesday's game against the Tigers.
Fermin is on the bench for the third time in four games, this time against a lefty (Tarik Skubal) after his previous two absences came against right-handed pitching. The Royals had been opening up regular playing time for Fermin behind the plate by using Salvador Perez at first base, but Perez has been taking on more work at catcher lately with Yuli Gurriel gaining traction as a regular in the Kansas City infield.

Royals' Freddy Fermin: On bench Monday
Fermin is out of the lineup for Monday's game against the Tigers.
Fermin will be on the bench for the second day in a row, but he should be a semi-regular presence in the lineup over the final two weeks of the season while the Royals give veteran catcher Salvador Perez time off behind the plate and deploy him at first base or designated hitter. Though he's mustered an underwhelming .505 OPS thus far in September, Fermin has been a near-league-average hitter (101 wRC+) with a .286/.335/.387 slash line over 344 plate appearances for the season.

Royals' Freddy Fermin: Rare steal in win
Fermin went 1-for-3 with a walk and a stolen base in Saturday's 5-1 win over the Pirates.
Fermin has gone a modest 6-for-28 (.214) over 10 games in September. He's seen the bulk of the work behind the dish since Vinnie Pasquantino (thumb) got hurt, as Salvador Perez has seen more frequent looks at first base. Fermin has been quietly decent this year with a .286/.335/.387 slash line, six home runs, 36 RBI, 39 runs scored and two steals across 344 plate appearances.

Royals' Freddy Fermin: Not in lineup
Fermin isn't part of the Royals' starting lineup for Friday's game against Pittsburgh.
The Royals have seemingly settled into a routine behind the plate, starting Fermin for a pair of games and then giving him a night off in favor of Salvador Perez, who has otherwise been manning first base. Kansas City has utilized this arrangement for a nine-game stretch, and with Fermin catching the past two games, it'll be Perez's turn behind the dish Friday.

Salvador Perez will return behind the plate Wednesday after occupying first base in Tuesday's 9-5 loss, while Hunter Renfroe gets a day out of the outfield and serves as the Royals' designated hitter.

Royals' Freddy Fermin: Logs first career steal
Fermin went 1-for-4 with one RBI and a stolen base in Monday's 9-5 loss to the Red Sox.
Fermin tied the game at 2-2 with an RBI single in the fourth inning and then logged the first steal of his big-league career. This was his 146th career game, so it's unlikely he becomes a sudden speed threat. He has been hitting well lately, going 17-for-49 (.347) with two home runs, eight RBI and four runs scored over 14 contests since the All-Star break. That has earned him a more regular place in the lineup between catcher and designated hitter. Fermin is at a .304/.352/.429 slash line with six homers, 30 RBI, 10 doubles and 30 runs scored over 245 plate appearances this season, numbers nearly identical to what he posted over 70 games and 235 plate appearances in 2023.

Royals' Freddy Fermin: Drawing sixth straight start
Fermin will start at designated hitter and bat seventh in Monday's game against the Red Sox.
Fermin has now stuck in the lineup for six straight contests, with the Royals facing three left-handed and three right-handed starters during that stretch. Though his playing time against southpaws looks to be more secure, Fermin has earned the extra opportunities versus righties by slashing .284/.319/.426 while producing a 104 wRC+ in those matchups.

Royals' Freddy Fermin: Four hits in big win
Fermin went 4-for-5 with a home run and three RBI in Wednesday's 10-3 win over the White Sox.
Fermin launched a two-run shot off Drew Thorpe in the second inning, giving the Royals an early 3-0 lead. The 29-year-old backstop continues to see a nearly full-time role as Salvador Perez slides out from behind the plate and gets work at DH and first base as well, and over 18 games in July, Fermin is batting .345 (19-for-55) with two homers, eight runs and eight RBI.
