While the opener being “cold out” was a letdown, the Cleveland Indians did get some good news yesterday as backup catcher Roberto Perez was medically cleared following a concussion scare. As mentioned yesterday Perez’s health was a question that was holding up the Tribe’s ability to finalize the Opening Day roster. They needed Major League Baseball to sign off due to baseball cracking down on concussions in the wake of all the bad publicity the National Football League has gotten.Perez being healthy is great news as despite being a backup, Perez was one of the best catchers in the game last year and should play a key role for the 2016 Indians.
