    • Going through full workout
      Burger (oblique) will go through a full on-field workout Friday, Christina De Nicola of MLB.com reports.

      Advice: Burger is nearly two weeks removed from suffering a left intercostal strain and is finally ready to resume all baseball activities. It would appear a rehab assignment is just around the corner, with a return sometime in early- to mid-May if all goes well. Rotowire.com Yesterday, 1:53 pm

    • Clobbers first-inning homer
      Perez went 1-for-2 with a two-run home run during Thursday's 2-1 win over the Blue Jays.

      Advice: Although Thursday's game was called after five innings due to poor weather, Perez managed to make an impact, swatting a game-deciding, two-run shot off Jose Berrios in the first frame. Over the Royals last two series, Perez is batting .435 with eight RBI and one strikeout across 27 plate appearances. Rotowire.com Thursday, 9:49 pm
       
    • Salvador Perez powers Royals past Blue Jays
      Salvador Perez blasted a two-run homer on Thursday, powering the Royals to a 2-1 win over the Blue Jays in a rain-shortened five-inning affair.

      Advice: Perez’s two-run blast off Toronto starter José Berríos wound up being enough for Kansas City as the two teams waited out a nearly four-hour rain delay before the contest was finally called. The 33-year-old ironman is up to seven round-trippers on the season already and figures to cross the 30-homer threshold, if he can stay healthy. Rotoworld Thursday, 5:21 pm
       
    • Initiates home run party
      Walker went 2-for-4 with a walk, a home run, three RBI and an additional run scored in Tuesday's 14-1 win over St. Louis.

      Advice: Walker kicked off the Diamondbacks' fun with a three-run blast in the third inning. It was the first of three Arizona homers, as later Kevin Newman (two-run shot) and Pavin Smith (grand slam) added to the rout. For Walker, it was his first home run since April 2, snapping an 18-game drought. With four homers in 25 games to start the 2024 season, Walker is behind the pace established the last two seasons when the first baseman launched 36 (2022) and 33 homers (2023); however, he had just four April home runs in each of those two previous seasons. It seems Walker's more productive months are ahead of him. Rotowire.com Wednesday, 3:18 am
       
    • Making improvements
      Burger (intercostal) will be evaluated soon to determine whether he can begin hitting, Christina De Nicola of MLB.com reports.

      Advice: It's been a week since Burger landed on the injured list with a left intercostal strain, and the infielder is feeling better. He would likely need to start with some low-impact hitting drills initially before progressing to batting practice and eventually rehab games. It's still too early to determine a potential timetable for Burger's return. Rotowire.com Monday, 2:54 pm

    • Receives breather Sunday
      Walker is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Giants.

      Advice: Walker started the first 22 games of the season but will receive a well-deserved day off Sunday in San Francisco. Pavin Smith will step in at first base and bat sixth. Rotowire.com Sunday, 12:19 pm
       
    • Monster day at plate
      Perez went 3-for-5 with a home run and five RBI in a loss against the Orioles on Saturday.

      Advice: Perez got the Royals on the board with a three-run homer off Corbin Burnes in the bottom of the sixth and then singled home another two runs in the seventh, almost single-handedly bringing Kansas City back to within one run of Baltimore. It marked the fourth three-hit game of the season for the veteran catcher and his seventh multi-hit performance overall. He's now batting .359 in April with five homers, 18 RBI and nine runs scored.

    • Salvador Perez homers, drives in five vs. Orioles
      Salvador Perez homered and drove in five runs during Saturday’s loss to the Orioles.

      Advice: It comes in a losing effort, but it’s another big game for Perez. The 33-year-old took Corbin Burnes deep to get the Royals on the board with his three-run shot in the sixth, and he’s now up to six homers on the season. He also hit a two-run single in the seventh that brought Kansas City to within a run at 8-7, but the Royals didn’t get on the board again. Perez looks fantastic early in the new season, with six homers, 22 RBI and an OPS of .995. Rotoworld Saturday, 7:19 pm
       
    • Hits go-ahead homer in Game 1
      Perez (groin) went 1-for-4 with a two-run home run in a 4-2 win over the White Sox in the first game of Wednesday's doubleheader.

      Advice: Perez returned from a Grade 1 left groin strain Wednesday and delivered the key hit in the Royals' matinee win. He also went 0-for-2 with two walks in the nightcap while serving as the designated hitter. He appears good to go moving forward after the injury scare. The veteran catcher is off to a hot start with five homers, 17 RBI, nine runs scored and two doubles while slashing .324/.370/.574 over 18 contests this season. Rotowire.com Thursday, 10:27 am
