"Heading into Monday's game against the Texas Rangers, the Kansas City Royals are rolling. They swept the Chicago White Sox in a three-game weekend series, and they have also won five of their last six games. With a little over a month left in the season, the AL Central crown looks to be out of the picture as they are nine games behind the Detroit Tigers."
"Perez, who has been with Kansas City throughout his entire MLB career, has not had a great campaign so far. Through 119 games, the 35-year-old is hitting .244 at the plate with 22 home runs and 70 RBIs. While these numbers are not bad on their own, they are a clear drop-off for Perez, who also missed out on the All-Star game for the second time since 2013."
The Kansas City Royals are building momentum after sweeping the Chicago White Sox and winning five of their last six games. With just over a month remaining, the Royals sit nine games behind the Detroit Tigers in the AL Central, 0.5 games behind the Cleveland Guardians, and four games behind the New York Yankees for the third AL Wild Card spot. Catcher Salvador Perez was scratched from Monday's lineup due to an illness and replaced by Luke Maile. Perez has posted a .244 average with 22 home runs and 70 RBIs through 119 games and remains a key roster piece whose status should be monitored.
