Swats second homer Fermin went 2-for-3 with a solo home run and a walk in a 7-5 win over the Cardinals in Game 2 of Thursday's doubleheader.

Impact Fermin's playing time has declined to begin June. He's hit safely in the last six games where he's received a plate appearance, but his effort in Thursday's nightcap was his first with multiple hits since May 6. The catcher is at a .255/.301/.340 slash line with two homers, eight RBI, 11 runs scored and three doubles over 114 plate appearances. If he can't turn things around with the bat, he'll likely continue to be confined to a backup role as Salvador Perez continues to be capable of working behind the plate as a starter.

Losing out on playing time Fermin is out of the lineup for the first game of Thursday's doubleheader versus the Cardinals.

Impact Fermin made four straight starts from May 21 through May 25, but he's been included in the lineup just once in the Royals' eight games since then. With the Royals no longer carrying a third catcher on the roster after moving on from Luke Maile in late May, Fermin will likely see limited opportunities while Salvador Perez sees most of his playing time behind the dish rather than at designated hitter or first base. That being said, Perez is unlikely to catch both ends of Thursday's twin bill, so expect Fermin to get a start in the nightcap.

On bench Monday Fermin isn't part of the starting lineup for Monday's game against the Reds.

Drawing fourth straight start Fermin will start at catcher and bat ninth in Sunday's game against the Twins.

Impact Fermin will be behind the plate for the fourth game in a row after going 3-for-12 with a double, a walk and two runs. If the Royals continue to use Salvador Perez at first base and designated hitter more frequently, Fermin could end up having a fairly stable spot in the lineup as the team's preferred catcher.

Could lose catching opportunities Fermin is out of the lineup for Monday's game against the Astros.

Impact Before sitting out Sunday's 3-1 loss to the Red Sox while Luke Maile received the nod behind the dish, Fermin had made three straight starts at catcher. Fermin will remain on the bench again Monday, and his brief run as the Royals' No. 1 backstop could be over. Salvador Perez had been limited to playing designated hitter or first base since returning to the lineup May 4 following a two-game absence due to a hip injury, but he'll resume catching Monday. If Perez checks out fine Monday, he could see his catching workload pick up in the games to come.

Taking seat Wednesday Fermin is out of the lineup for Wednesday's game against the White Sox.

Impact With Salvador Perez having been limited exclusively to designated hitter and first base so far this month while he's been managing a hip issue, Fermin has temporarily settled in as the Royals' No. 1 backstop. After playing behind the dish in five of the last six games, Fermin will get a breather Wednesday, paving the way for Luke Maile to handle the catching duties while Perez plays first base.

Retreating to bench Sunday Fermin is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Orioles.

Impact Fermin had started at catcher in each of the last three games while Salvador Perez served as a designated hitter for the first contest and then sat out the next two due to left hip soreness. Perez is healthy enough to step back in as the Royals' DH on Sunday, but Fermin will get a breather while No. 3 catcher Luke Maile steps in behind the plate. The Royals haven't indicated when Perez might be ready to resume full-time duties at catcher, so Fermin could continue to see elevated playing time in the short term.
