Salvador Perez - Steady as ever Perez went 3-for-3 with an RBI and a run scored in Wednesday's 9-5 loss to the Giants.
Impact The three-hit game lifted Perez's spring slash line to .348/.375/.565 with a home run, two doubles, four RBI and five runs scored in eight games. The 31-year-old catcher appeared in a career-high 161 games last season, posting an eye-popping 48 homers, 121 RBI, 88 runs scored and a .273/.316/.544 slash line. He's likely to be a near-everyday presence either behind the dish or as the designated hitter -- don't expect Cam Gallagher to draw much playing time from Perez, who remains one of the top catchers in the league even with the threat of regression looming.

Carlos Hernández - Struggles versus Giants Hernandez allowed six runs (five earned) on six hits and struck out four in 2.2 innings in a loss to the Giants on Wednesday.
Impact Hernandez has gotten rocked through two spring starts, allowing 10 runs (nine earned) in 4.2 innings. That's not great for the 25-year-old, who is far from assured a spot in the rotation given the Royals' mix of established veterans and prospects competing for starting roles. Hernandez would likely need to show something better in his next spring start to get an edge over Jackson Kowar, though both of them could be ticketed to the bullpen or Triple-A Omaha if the Royals employ a five-man rotation. Hernandez started 11 of his 24 outings last season, posting a 3.68 ERA, 1.28 WHIP and 74:41 K:BB through 85.2 innings.

Ryan O'Hearn - Back in action Thursday O'Hearn (groin) will bat third while serving as the Royals' designated hitter in Thursday's Cactus League game against the Giants.
Impact O'Hearn's return to the lineup supports the notion that the Royals' decision to remove him from Tuesday's game against the Mariners was mostly a matter of caution while he dealt with a left groin injury. The 28-year-old has enjoyed a red-hot spring with 10 hits -- including a pair of home runs -- across 20 at-bats.
