33 Martin Perez, RP

Rangers starting pitcher Martin Perez had his best start of the season Tuesday for Triple-A Round Rock, tossing seven scoreless innings in a win against Reno. He allowed three hits and struck out seven, while throwing 49 of 77 pitches for strikes.

Perez, who began the season on the disabled list after fracturing his left wrist in spring training, is in line to be considered to start during Monday's doubleheader against the Diamondbacks. However, manager Ron Washington said Wednesday the team hasn't discussed Perez as an option, according to The Dallas Morning News.

Washington added the team wants to be certain Perez has built up his stamina to pitch a full game without limitations. Tuesday was the first time he surpassed 70 pitches in a start this season.

"He just started throwing and had a good game (Tuesday) night," Washington said. "We’re not going to take one game and all of the sudden he’s ready to pitch. We’ll make that determination when we feel we need to make that determination."

Rangers pitcher Martin Perez is expected to start Triple-A Round Rock's game Thursday, the Fort Worth Star-Telegram reports. Perez was activated from the disabled list Sunday after missing the entire start of the regular season with a broken wrist.

Perez made two starts with Double-A Frisco before the activation and will head to Triple-A as expected.

The Rangers announced Sunday starting pitcher Martin Perez, who had been on the disabled list since March 31 with a broken left wrist, was activated and optioned to Double-A Frisco. Perez had been on a rehab assignment with Frisco, going 0-1 with an 11.05 ERA in two starts.

Perez is expected to be transferred to Triple-A Round Rock later in the week.

Rangers starting pitcher Martin Perez (forearm) had a brutal performance in his second rehab outing for Double-A Frisco Saturday. Perez lasted only 3 1/3 innings, allowing eight runs on nine hits and two walks.
