Fantasy Impact:
Perez has a history of overcoming injuries and beating timetables, so fantasy managers shouldn't take the eight weeks as a firm prognostication. Nevertheless, Perez is going to miss at least a substantial portion of the remainder of the season, and it's unclear whether his performance will be affected when he returns considering the nature of the injury. Perez has nearly unrivaled power for a catcher but at this point, unless you have a free IL spot, managers should feel free to move on from him in mixed leagues.
