Updating a previous item, Salvador Perez (knee) went 4-for-4 with a home run and caught three innings in an extended spring training game Friday.
Bob Dutton of the Kansas City Star originally reported that Perez was expected to catch Saturday for the first time since knee surgery, but it actually happened on Friday. He's slated to DH on Saturday. The early word is that the 22-year-old backstop is ahead of schedule, so there's a chance we'll see him back with the Royals by the end of June. May 25 - 5:23 PM

Alex Gordon told Bob Dutton of the Kansas City Star on Tuesday that there's "nothing new" in regard to a contract extension with the Royals.

Many assumed that Monday's "major announcement" from the Royals was going to be a contract extension for Gordon, but they actually locked up young catcher Salvador Perez. The Royals and Gordon avoided arbitration last month by agreeing to a one-year, $4.775 million contract, but there is mutual interest in working out a multi-year contract. The 28-year-old remains under team control through the 2013 season.
