Fermin isn't part of the Royals starting lineup for Friday's game against Pittsburgh.

EDGE Analysis

The Royals have seemingly settled into a routine behind the plate, starting Fermin for a pair of games and then giving him a night off in favor of Salvador Perez, who has otherwise been manning first base. Kansas City has utilized this rotation for a nine-game stretch, and with Fermin catching the past two games, it'll be Perez's turn behind the dish Friday.
