Royals' Freddy Fermin: Sitting after seven straight starts

Salvador Perez will return behind the plate Wednesday after occupying first base in Tuesday's 9-5 loss, while Hunter Renfroe gets a day out of the outfield and serves as the Royals' designated hitter.

Royals' Freddy Fermin: Sitting Friday
Fermin is out of the lineup for Friday's game against the Cardinals.

Royals' Freddy Fermin: Getting rest Tuesday
Fermin is out of the lineup for Tuesday's game against the Red Sox.
After starting six straight games -- four at DH, two at catcher -- Fermin will have the night off Tuesday. The 29-year-old is slashing .304/.352/.429 with a 18.4 percent strikeout rate in 245 plate appearances.

Royals' Freddy Fermin: Logs first career steal
Fermin went 1-for-4 with one RBI and a stolen base in Monday's 9-5 loss to the Red Sox.
Fermin tied the game at 2-2 with an RBI single in the fourth inning and then logged the first steal of his big-league career. This was his 146th career game, so it's unlikely he becomes a sudden speed threat. He has been hitting well lately, going 17-for-49 (.347) with two home runs, eight RBI and four runs scored over 14 contests since the All-Star break. That has earned him a more regular place in the lineup between catcher and designated hitter. Fermin is at a .304/.352/.429 slash line with six homers, 30 RBI, 10 doubles and 30 runs scored over 245 plate appearances this season, numbers nearly identical to what he posted over 70 games and 235 plate appearances in 2023.

Royals' Freddy Fermin: Drawing sixth straight start
Fermin will start at designated hitter and bat seventh in Monday's game against the Red Sox.
Fermin has now stuck in the lineup for six straight contests, with the Royals facing three left-handed and three right-handed starters during that stretch. Though his playing time against southpaws looks to be more secure, Fermin has earned the extra opportunities versus righties by slashing .284/.319/.426 while producing a 104 wRC+ in those matchups.

Royals' Freddy Fermin: Four hits in big win
Fermin went 4-for-5 with a home run and three RBI in Wednesday's 10-3 win over the White Sox.
Fermin launched a two-run shot off Drew Thorpe in the second inning, giving the Royals an early 3-0 lead. The 29-year-old backstop continues to see a nearly full-time role as Salvador Perez slides out from behind the plate and gets work at DH and first base as well, and over 18 games in July, Fermin is batting .345 (19-for-55) with two homers, eight runs and eight RBI.

Royals' Freddy Fermin: Homers in loss
Fermin went 1-for-4 with a solo home run in Sunday's 7-3 loss to the Cubs.
Fermin has gone 6-for-19 with two extra-base hits over his last six games. The catcher's playing time has remained limited despite his recent good form at the plate. For the season, he's up to five homers, 24 RBI, 29 runs scored, 10 doubles and a .294/.344/.423 slash line over 65 contests. Fermin is good for two or three games per week between catcher and designated hitter.

Royals' Freddy Fermin: Sitting again Sunday
Fermin is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the White Sox.
Fermin will sit for the second straight game while Salvador Perez starts behind the plate and Adam Frazier serves as the Royals' designated hitter. The Royals' willingness to deploy Perez at first base or DH on his non-catching days should continue to open up more playing time for Fermin compared to most No. 2 backstops, though Fermin's opportunities have taken a hit while his bat has cooled down of late. Fermin has gone 2-for-14 with a walk and four strikeouts over his last four starts.

Royals' Freddy Fermin: On bench Saturday
Fermin is not in the starting lineup Saturday against the White Sox.
Fermin will head to the bench after he went 1-for-4 with an RBI and two strikeouts in Friday's 7-1 win. Adam Frazier will slot in at designated hitter while Drew Waters enters the lineup in left field and bats seventh versus Chicago.

Royals' Freddy Fermin: Heading to bench Friday
Fermin is out of the lineup for Friday's game against the Red Sox.
Fermin started the previous six games, splitting his time between catcher and DH, but he'll receive a day off after he went 7-for-20 with two walks, two RBI and four runs during that span. Adam Frazier will serve as Kansas City's designated hitter Friday.

Royals' Freddy Fermin: Gaining foothold in regular lineup
Fermin will start at designated hitter and bat sixth in the first game of Wednesday's doubleheader with the Cardinals.
Fermin will stick in the lineup for the fifth game in a row, with the 29-year-old having now made three starts at catcher and two at designated hitter. With Michael Massey having been cleared to resume playing at second base after initially being limited to DH duties upon his return from the injured list June 24, the Royals should have a regular spot in the lineup for Fermin, at least while he's producing at the dish. Fermin will take a five-game hitting streak into the doubleheader and is slashing .304/.356/.435 over 177 plate appearances on the season.

Royals' Freddy Fermin: Racks up three hits
Fermin went 3-for-3 with a walk and a run scored in Friday's 4-2 loss to the Rockies.
Fermin has three multi-hit efforts over his last eight games, but that's a span that dates back to June 20. The backup catcher is making the most of his opportunities this year, slashing .303/.355/.439 with four home runs, 19 RBI, 24 runs scored and nine doubles over 169 plate appearances. Fermin's reliability has allowed Salvador Perez to rest or serve as the designated hitter regularly. Fermin's playing time had declined while Michael Massey was limited to designated-hitter duties, but Massey has been cleared to play the field and should see more time at second base in the second half.

Royals' Freddy Fermin: Drives in two in Wednesday's win
Fermin went 2-for-4 with a double and two RBI in Wednesday's 5-1 win over the Marlins.
The Royals' offense was stuck in neutral until the eighth inning, but Fermin capped a five-run outburst with a two-run single. The 29-year-old had been on the bench the prior three games with Michael Massey serving as the DH in his return from a lower-back strain, which kept Salvador Perez behind the plate. But playing time should open up for Fermin again once Massey is ready to resume defensive duties at second base. On the season, Fermin is slashing .294/.340/.434 with four homers, 18 RBI and 21 runs in 48 contests.

Royals' Freddy Fermin: Taking seat Monday
Fermin is out of the lineup for Monday's game against the Marlins.
Fermin is on the bench for the second day in a row, but his playing time could be on the upswing nonetheless while he's produced a .271/.314/.500 slash line through the first three and a half weeks of June. In addition to filling in at catcher on days that top backstop Salvador Perez gets days off behind the dish, Fermin will factor into the equation at designated hitter, where he had made two of his last three starts.

Royals' Freddy Fermin: Slugs two homers Thursday
Fermin went 3-for-4 with a pair of solo home runs in a 3-2 win over Oakland on Thursday.
Fermin accounted for both Royals runs against Oakland starter Mitch Spence, belting a solo shot in each of the second and fourth frames. The backstop had just two homers across 138 plate appearances coming into the contest, though he flashed some power by going deep nine times over 235 plate appearances last year. Fermin has swung a solid stick with a .303/.352/.447 slash line this season, and he's being rewarded with increased opportunities. Over Kansas City's past five games, Fermin has started four times (three times at catcher and once at DH).
