Fantasy Value sources for Salvador Perez of the Kansas City Royals
Salvador Perez, catcher for the Kansas City Royals, suffered a left hand injury during Venezuelan Winter League play with Caracas. The injury occurred at first base and did not appear serious, though it warrants monitoring heading into the 2026 season.
For 2026 fantasy purposes, Perez is ranked #104 in draft rankings with expert consensus ranging from #72 to #156. Rest of season rankings place him at #105. His 2026 projections estimate 528 at-bats, .251 batting average, 26 home runs, and 85 RBIs across 15 projected stat categories.
Historically, Perez demonstrates consistent power production. His 2025 season included 30 home runs and 100 RBIs despite a .236 batting average. The 2024 season showed stronger performance at .271 AVG with 27 HR and 104 RBI. His career BABIP of .251-.302 range suggests his 2025 average was somewhat depressed relative to performance quality.
