Royals catcher Perez out 7 to 10 days with thigh bruise (Yahoo Sports)

Kansas City Royals catcher Salvador Perez is expected to be out 7 to 10 days with a bruised left thigh after colliding with rookie third baseman Cheslor Cuthbert while catching a foul pop up in the ninth inning Saturday. ''Hopefully it's not going to require a trip to the DL,'' Royals manager Ned Yost said Sunday. The Royals recalled catcher Tony Cruz from Triple-A Omaha, where he was hitting .278 with three home runs and 20 RBIs in 31 games.
