Freddy Fermin

Fermin has been seeing regular action at designated hitter when he hasn't been behind the plate, so it's strange to see the 29-year-old getting a day off. Adam Frazier will function as the team's designated hitter on Saturday against Jonathan Cannon and the White Sox, which will allow Drew Waters to get a start in left field.

Perez's 15th homer broke a 3-3 tie in the sixth, and he later added an insurance run in the eighth. Perez caught and Freddy Fermin DH'd in the first game today, so one imagines they'll switch roles in the nightcap.
