Perez hits 48th homer, leaves hurt; Royals beat Indians 10-5
Salvador Perez tied a Royals record with his 48th homer of the season before leaving with a sprained right ankle, and Kansas City went on to beat the Cleveland Indians 10-5SEPTEMBER 30, 2021 • ASSOCIATED PRESS
Shut down for season The Royals placed Singer on the 10-day injured list Wednesday with right upper arm inflammation, Anne Rogers of MLB.com reports.
Impact Kansas City has little on the line with five games left in the season, so it makes sense for the club to shut down Singer, who exited his outing Tuesday against Cleveland with the injury. Follow-up scans cleared Singer of any structural damage to his arm, so he'll seemingly be in store for a normal offseason once the soreness and discomfort subsides. He'll conclude his second big-league campaign with a 5-10 record, 4.91 ERA, 1.55 WHIP and 131:53 K:BB in 128.1 innings over 27 starts.

Royals starter Brady Singer exits with injury, bringing his future importance to the forefront Although Tuesday’s news did not sound too serious, the night might mark the end of Singer’s season. His development continues.

Avoids elbow, shoulder issues Manager Mike Matheny said after Tuesday's win over Cleveland that Singer is dealing with a right "mid-arm" injury, and scans showed no damage to his elbow or shoulder, Joel Goldber...
Impact The 25-year-old was removed during the first inning of Tuesday's start with what was initially labeled right upper arm discomfort, but after some evaluation it appears he's avoided the most troublesome arm injuries. Singer didn't factor in the decision after giving up three runs on three hits and a walk over two-thirds of an inning. He lines up for one final turn through the rotation in the final game of the regular season Sunday against the Twins, though it's unclear whether the injury will cause his season to end a bit early.

Shuts down Cleveland in return Singer (5-10) picked up the win in the first game of Monday's doubleheader sweep of Cleveland, allowing one run on six hits and a walk over seven innings. He struck out seven.
Impact The right-hander went the distance in his return from the COVID-19 list while recording his fourth quality start in his last six outings. Singer has a 2.97 ERA, 1.27 WHIP and 37:12 K:BB through 36.1 innings over that stretch, striking out at least five batters in all six trips to the mound, and only a 1.5 HR/9 prevented him from putting up even better ratios. The 2018 first-round pick appears to be settling in after a bumpy beginning to his big-league career, making him an intriguing sleeper for 2022.

Jon Heasley was selected from Double-A Northwest Arkansas and may start in Singer's stead.
