KANSAS CITY -- Royals All-Star catcher Salvador Perez was replaced in Saturday's game with the Indians at Kauffman Stadium in the ninth inning because of an apparent injury.
Perez, who was replaced by Drew Butera, was hurt on a foul tip in the eighth inning. After trainer Nick Kenney and manager Ned Yost came to his aid, Perez remained in the game at that point.
