KANSAS CITY, Mo. (AP) — The Kansas City Royals placed catcher Salvador Perez on the injured list with lingering vision problems and recalled Randy Rosario to add a left-handed arm in the bullpen ahead of their three-game series against the Minnesota Twins on Friday night.

Perez woke up with vision problems Sunday and called Royals trainer Nick Kenney.

He wound up at a specialist on Monday and was good enough to return to the lineup, but he's been out with continued blurriness the rest of the week.

The Royals host the Twins at 7:05 p.m. Friday.
