KC Royals Dodge Bullet With Salvador Perez, Call Up Tony Cruz

The Kansas City Royals recalled catcher Tony Cruz from AAA Omaha, and sent down pitcher Peter Moylan. The KC Royals will attempt to ride out Perez’s recovery without putting him on the disabled list by carrying 12 pitchers instead of 13. Manager Ned Yost told ESPN:

“Hopefully it’s not going to require a trip to the DL,” Royals manager Ned Yost said Sunday. “We’re hoping he’ll be back in 7 to 10 days. It could be earlier or later. We’ll just have to wait and see and just manage it day to day.
