Royals might lose All-Star catcher Salvador Perez for the season

Kansas City All-Star catcher Salvador Perez damaged the ulnar collateral ligament in his right elbow, raising the possibility the 2015 World Series MVP will need Tommy John surgery and miss the season.

Perez was hurt during a workout Wednesday in Arizona, and the Royals said a magnetic resonance imaging exam Thursday revealed the damage. Perez will travel to California for a second opinion from Dodgers team physician Dr. Neal ElAttrache.

Perez, 28, has been an All-Star for six consecutive seasons and won Gold Gloves in five of those years. He hit .235 last year and had 27 home runs and 80 RBI for the second year in a row.

Cam Gallagher and Meibrys Viloria are the other catchers on the Royals' 40-man roster. Martin Maldonado, a 2017 Gold Glove winner, is available as a free agent.

Giants CEO Larry Baer caused his wife, Pam, to fall to the ground during a scuffle in a public park that was caught on video.

The physical altercation was captured on video by a witness and published by TMZ. The video shows Baer approaching his wife and trying to grab a cellphone from her. While wrestling with her, Pam is shown falling out of her chair while screaming, "Oh my God! Help!"

"Regrettably today we had a heated argument in public over a family matter," the couple said in a statement issued through the team. "We are deeply embarrassed by the situation and have resolved the issue."
