Salvador Perez (knee) could return on SundaySalvador Perez (knee) is not in the Royals’ starting lineup for Saturday night’s battle against the Dodgers.
Advice: The star 34-year-old backstop was removed from Friday’s game due to discomfort in his right knee. He underwent an MRI exam on Saturday — the results of which were very favorable — and Perez is expected to return to the Royals’ lineup in a day or two. Austin Nola was recalled from Triple-A Omaha on Saturday to add depth behind the plate. RotoworldSalvador PerezKC - C,1BW, 8-3 vs DET -
Could be back SundayPerez has a right knee sprain but is expected to be back in the lineup Sunday against the Dodgers or Tuesday against Oakland, Joel Goldberg of Bally Sports Kansas City reports.
Advice: An MRI revealed Perez is dealing with just a minor sprain and some inflammation in his right knee, which is encouraging news after he was pulled from Friday's game against Los Angeles. While Perez is expected to be back in the lineup as soon as Sunday, it's possible he'll DH for a few games to get his knee back to full strength, especially after the Royals called up Austin Nola on Saturday.

On bench SaturdayPerez (knee) isn't in the starting lineup for Saturday's game against the Dodgers.
Advice: Perez was pulled from Friday's game with right knee discomfort and will be held out of the lineup Saturday, giving way to Freddy Fermin behind the dish. While it's unclear how severe Perez's injury is, the Royals felt the need to call up catcher Austin Nola from Triple-A Omaha, indicating Perez could miss multiple games.

Steven Kwan collects three hits in loss to JaysSteven Kwan went 3-for-4 against the Blue Jays on Saturday.
Advice: Kwan collected three hits on the day against the Blue Jays, knocking singles in the third, fifth, and eighth inning. He was stranded each time as the Guardians failed to bring a run in to score against Toronto. The 26-year-old outfielder has been a hitting machine, slashing .386/.447/.538 with four homers, 39 runs scored, and three steals across 191 plate appearances.

José Caballero (illness) not in Saturday’s lineupJosé Caballero (illness) is not in the lineup for Saturday’s game against the Braves.
Advice: Caballero will get an extra day off to rest and recover following an early exit from Friday’s showdown due to illness. It’ll be Amed Rosario taking a turn at shortstop on Saturday afternoon in his absence. RotoworldJosé CaballeroTB - 2B,SSL, 5-8 vs BOS -
Kyle Tucker (shin) might require rehab assignmentAstros manager Joe Espada told reporters Saturday that Kyle Tucker (shin) might require a minor league rehab assignment.
Advice: Espada elaborated that Tucker might need some rehab games to get back up to speed if he doesn’t resume running at some point this weekend. The 27-year-old fantasy superstar has been out since early June recovering from a right shin contusion and has yet to resume baseball activities. There should be a clearer picture of his potential return timeline at some point in the coming days. It certainly doesn’t sound like he’s close at this juncture.

Absent from lineupCaballero (illness) is not in the starting lineup Saturday versus Atlanta.
Advice: Caballero was removed from Friday's series opener due to an illness and he'll remain on the bench to start Saturday's contest. Brandon Lowe will draw the start at second base and bat second against Atlanta. Rotowire.comJosé CaballeroTB - 2B,SSL, 5-8 vs BOS -
Nursing neck issueVerlander was scratched from his start Saturday versus the Tigers due to neck discomfort, Chandler Rome of The Athletic reports.
Advice: Verlander was geared up to face his former team Saturday, but he'll now likely have to have his turn in the rotation skipped completely as a result of the neck issue. With Sunday's scheduled starter Spencer Arrighetti now pushed up to toe the rubber Saturday, Houston will likely have to look to an option off their major-league roster to fill in for the series finale. Left-hander Eric Lauer is with Triple-A Sugar Land and he could be an option to be called up Sunday. In the meantime, it's unclear if Verlander's injury will require a stint on the injured list or not, but the 41-year-old's next opportunity to return to the mound will be next weekend in Baltimore at the soonest.

Justin Verlander scratched due to neck discomfortJustin Verlander was scratched from Saturday’s start against the Tigers due to neck discomfort.
Advice: No word yet on the severity of the neck ailment that led to Verlander being scratched from a highly-anticipated outing against his former team, but Astros manager Joe Espada told reporters they don’t believe it’s an injured list situation. Espada added that the 41-year-old veteran righty has been pitching through neck soreness for the last two or three weeks, which certainly helps explain his recent struggles. It’ll be rookie Spencer Arrighetti taking the ball in his place. There should be an additional update on his status at some point this weekend. He’ll presumably undergo some additional testing to determine the extent of the lingering issue. Stay tuned. RotoworldJustin VerlanderHOU - SPL, 1-2 vs LAA
