Salvador Perez went 3-for-6 in loss to the Orioles with a run scored and a strikeout.
Fantasy Impact
Through 22 games, Perez is slashing .176 with three homers, six RBI and a .231 wOBA. Kansas City is currently 27th in runs scored, and all their batters are feeling it. Perez's xwOBA of .279 and BABIP of .190 suggest he's been unlucky.
Salvador Perez went 2-for-4 in loss to the Tigers with a home run, one run scored, four RBI, and two strikeouts.
Fantasy Impact
Through 19 games, Perez is slashing .169 with three homers, six RBI, five runs scored, a .231 wOBA and a .167 BABIP. He added three hard-hits balls, and his four RBI are a season high. His plate discipline is relatively the same so we'd expect him to improve sooner rather than later.

Perez finished 1-for-4 with a solo home run in Saturday's 6-2 loss to the Braves.
Fantasy Impact
In the top of the 7th inning, Perez blasted a 390-foot solo home run to left-center field off Reynaldo López. The hit registered an impressive 105.8 mph exit velocity with a 27° launch angle, signaling that the veteran's raw power is fully intact as he enters his age-36 season. Through the first two games of the 2026 regular season, Perez has recorded one hit in each game, currently sitting with a .250 average and an .875 OPS. His ability to log games at first base and DH ensures he stays in the lineup nearly every day. Following a 2025 campaign where he hit 30 home runs and drove in 100 RBIs, Perez’s first homer of the season reinforces his floor.
Salvador Perez left Sunday’s game for Caracas of the Venezuelan Winter League with a left hand injury.
