Royals catcher Salvador Perez set for test on knee injured in World Baseball Classic

SURPRISE, Ariz. — Kansas City catcher Salvador Perez is set to have another test on his left knee after getting injured in a collision with Royals backup catcher Drew Butera in the World Baseball Classic.

Perez is returning to the Royals’ spring training camp on Monday and will have an MRI. The four-time All-Star and 2015 World Series MVP was hurt Saturday in Mexico while playing for Venezuela and is out of the tournament.

Royals general manager Dayton Moore said he’s still not at ease with Perez’s injury.

“Not until he gets back playing,” Moore said Sunday.
