Royals' Salvador Perez: Out seven-to-10 days with quad contusion

Manager Ned Yost said Sunday that Perez would miss the next 7-to-10 days with a quad contusion, Rustin Dodd of The Kansas City Star reports.

Analysis:

After suffering the injury during a collision with teammate Cheslor Cuthbert in Saturday's come-from-behind win over the White Sox, Perez underwent a precautionary MRI, which cleared the catcher of any structural damage to his knee. While Perez looks on track to miss at least a week's worth of games, the Royals don't believe that he'll need to miss a full 15 days, so a DL stint doesn't appear to be in the offing. The Royals did recall Tony Cruz from Triple-A Omaha to provide some catching depth behind Drew Butera, who will start behind the plate Sunday, while Perez is sidelined.
