Serving as DH on Sunday Perez (hand) will serve as the Royals' designated hitter and will bat third in Sunday's game against the Mariners.

Impact Perez will be limited to a non-defensive role for the series finale after he was hit in the left hand by a pitch in Saturday's 13-7 loss, though the 31-year-old was probably due for a day off behind the plate anyway after catching each of the previous three days. Assuming Perez's hand provides no complications while he swings the bat Sunday, he should be a fixture in the Kansas City lineup during the team's upcoming six-game week.

X-rays negative X-rays on Perez's left hand returned negative after he exited Saturday's game against the Mariners after being hit by a pitch, Lynn Worthy of The Kansas City Star reports.

Impact Perez went 1-for-2 with a walk and two runs scored before departing. The 31-year-old will most likely receive a day off in Sunday's series finale, and an X-ray isn't always dispositive, but the initial report at least provides reason for optimism regarding Perez's outlook.

Exits after HBP Perez left Saturday's game against the Mariners after being hit by a pitch in the hand, Joel Goldberg of Bally Sports Kansas City reports.

Impact Perez was hit by an offering from Yohan Ramirez in the top of the seventh inning. He remained in the game to take his base, and he ultimately came around to score on a Carlos Santana home run.
