Perez (wrist) remains out of the lineup Friday against the White Sox, the Kansas City Star's Rustin Dodd reports.
Manager Ned Yost had Perez in the initial lineup but then changed his mind and decided to give the star catcher one more day off. Perez took practice swings Friday and it sounds like he is on track to return to the lineup Saturday. Drew Butera will start at catcher and hit eighth Friday.
