Perez (groin) allowed two runs (one earned) on five hits and no walks while striking out four across five innings in a rehab appearance with Triple-A Indianapolis on Saturday.
Perez pitched in his first game since landing on the 15-day injured list May 28 and threw 63 pitches. The total was slightly below his goal of 75 pitches heading into the day, though Perez likely did enough to prove he's ready to be activated for his next turn through the rotation. The earliest he might return from the IL would be Friday at Atlanta.
