Headed to San Diego The Royals traded Fermin to the Padres on Thursday in exchange for Ryan Bergert, Jeff Passan of ESPN.com reports.

Impact Fermin has slashed .255/.309/.339 with three homers, 12 RBI and 17 runs scored across 208 plate appearances with the Royals this season. While those numbers don't exactly jump off the page, they're still good enough to make him the frontrunner for starts behind the plate in San Diego over Elias Diaz (.577 OPS) and Martin Maldonado (.572 OPS).

Kansas City catcher Salvador Perez hit by pitch on left elbow, leaves game with bruise

Kansas City Royals catcher Salvador Perez was hit by a pitch in the left elbow during Monday night’s game against the Atlanta Braves

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

Impact Fermin had started in three of the Royals' previous four games, but he'll get a breather Sunday while Salvador Perez covers first base and No. 3 backstop Luke Maile gets a turn behind the plate. Though the Royals recently bolstered their lineup with the acquisition of Randal Grichuk, Jac Caglianone's (hamstring) move to the injured list should allow Fermin's playing time to remain relatively stable while Perez continues to see more starts at first base or designated hitter.

Lifts third homer Fermin went 2-for-4 with a two-run home run in a 6-4 loss to the Guardians in the second game of Saturday's doubleheader.

Impact Fermin went 0-for-1 as a pinch hitter in the day game before spelling Salvador Perez behind the dish in the nightcap. While Fermin has carved out a decent share of playing time in July, he has gone just 4-for-23 (.174) with seven strikeouts over his last 10 games. Overall, the catcher is slashing .262/.315/.350 with three homers, 10 RBI, 16 runs scored, seven doubles and no stolen bases across 198 plate appearances.

Kwan's two-run homer lifts Guardians to 6-4 win over Royals and doubleheader split

Steven Kwan hit a two-run home run, Tanner Bibee struck out eight in five innings, and the Cleveland Guardians beat the Kansas City Royals 6-4 to earn a doubleheader split

Playing time trending up Fermin will start at catcher and bat seventh in Wednesday's game against the Cubs.

Impact With the Royals using Salvador Perez at first base or designated hitter more frequently of late, Fermin has benefited from extra playing time. Fermin will be making his fourth start in five games Wednesday.

Matthew Boyd sharp for 11th win, Cubs blank Royals and Rich Hill 6-0.

Sitting down Saturday Fermin isn't in the lineup for Saturday's game versus the Mets.

Impact Fermin will sit down for the fourth time in five games after making five consecutive starts earlier in the month. Salvador Perez will serve as Kansas City's catcher while Jonathan India gets a turn as the DH.

JULY 12, 2025 • ROTOWIRE

Resting up Monday Fermin is out of the lineup for Monday's game against the Pirates.

Impact Fermin will take a seat for the series opener versus Pittsburgh after he had started in each of the Royals' last five games, catching in four of them. Salvador Perez will get a turn behind the plate Monday while Mark Canha enters the lineup as Kansas City's designated hitter.

JULY 7, 2025 • ROTOWIRE

Getting fifth straight start Fermin will start at catcher and bat fifth in Sunday's game against the Diamondbacks.

Impact Fermin's playing time is back on the rise again, as he'll be getting his fifth consecutive start Sunday. Four of those starts have come behind the dish, as the Royals have been using top backstop Salvador Perez at designated hitter and first base more frequently in an effort to keep him fresh. Fermin is batting .275 over 167 plate appearances on the season but doesn't bring much power (two home runs) or speed (zero steals) to the table.

JULY 6, 2025 • ROTOWIRE

Heading to bench Monday Fermin is out of the lineup for Monday's game against the Mariners.

Impact Fermin started in three of the Royals' last four contests, but he'll take a seat Monday while Salvador Perez checks back in behind the plate after he had made two of his previous three starts at first base. Though Fermin will likely play more frequently than most No. 2 backstops around the league, his fantasy upside is fairly limited while he offers little power and speed and often hits near the bottom of the lineup.

Dodgers' Hernández and Smith homer, Wrobleski pitches 6 innings of 3-hit ball in 5-1 win over Royals

Kiké Hernández hit a two-run homer and Will Smith also went deep to send the Dodgers to a rain-delayed 5-1 victory over the Royals on Sunday

JUNE 29, 2025 • Associated Press

Sitting for third time in four games Fermin is out of the lineup for Wednesday's game against the Rays.

Impact Fermin's playing time had been trending up toward the end of last week, but he'll be on the bench Wednesday for the third time in four games. Due to the Royals' willingness to keep top backstop Salvador Perez fresh by occasionally using him at designated hitter and first base, Fermin should start more frequently than most No. 2 catchers, though probably not enough to make him a usable option in the majority of fantasy leagues.

Playing time on upswing Fermin will start at catcher and bat eighth in Sunday's game against the Padres.

Impact Fermin will pick up his fourth start in five games and could hold down a semi-regular spot in the lineup while the Royals have been using Salvador Perez more frequently at first base and designated hitter of late. During the past month, Fermin hit .273 over a stretch of 15 games, but he provided limited counting statistics (one home run, no stolen bases, four runs, two RBI).
