Freddy Fermin News: Resting up Sunday

Fermin is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Guardians.

Fermin had started three of the Royals' previous four games, but he'll get a breather while Salvador Perez covers first base and Luke Maile gets a turn behind the plate. Though the Royals recently bolstered their lineup with the acquisition of Randal Grichuk, the absence of Jac Caglianone (hamstring) should allow Fermin's playing time to remain relatively stable while Perez continues to see more starts at first base or designated hitter rather than catcher.
