Records rare steal Perez went 1-for-5 with a stolen base in Wednesday's 6-3 win over Milwaukee.
Impact The stolen base was Perez's first of the year, and he's never had more than one in a season. The 31-year-old has been solid since the All-Star break, going 6-for-19 (.316) with three RBI and a run scored in his last five games. Whether behind the dish or at designated hitter, Perez should continue to have an everyday role in the lineup.

Cleared for All-Star Game Perez (back) will start at catcher and bat seventh for the American League in Tuesday's All-Star Game at Coors Field, Steve Greenberg of the Chicago Sun-Times reports.
Impact Perez dealt with back tightness in Saturday's 2-1 loss to Cleveland and sat out Sunday's series finale as a result, but the injury won't prevent him from taking part in the Midsummer Classic. The 31-year-old backstop earned his seventh All-Star nod after slashing .275/.300/.501 with 21 home runs, 53 RBI and 41 runs in 89 first-half games.

Not playing Sunday Perez (back) is not in the lineup for Sunday's game in Cleveland, Joel Goldberg of Bally Sports Kansas City reports.
Impact Back tightness shortened Perez's Saturday and will keep him out of the series finale Sunday. This is the Royals' first lineup of 2021 that does not include Perez, who has been a model of durability the past couple years. It will be interesting to see if the 31-year-old will still participate in the Home Run Derby, or if he'll use the All-Star break to rest and resolve the back issue before Friday's series opener against Baltimore. Sebastian Rivero is catching and batting ninth Sunday.

Dealing with back tightness Manager Mike Matheny said following Saturday's loss to Cleveland that Perez exited the contest because of tightness in his back, Anne Rogers of MLB.com reports.
Impact The issue arose after the backstop dove for a bunt in the third inning. He was initially able to stay in the game, and wound up clubbing a two-run homer in his following at-bat before later departing. Matheny said that Perez will be further evaluated Sunday before his availability for the series finale is determined.
