• Rays' Michael Perez: Making progress

  4D ago • By RotoWire Staff

  Perez (oblique) is doing some catching and has been limited to hitting off a tee thus far in his rehab, Juan Toribio of MLB.com reports. Perez is still feeling some discomfort when swinging and so he has not progressed past tee work. However, Toribio relays that Perez still feels he can be ready for activation within the next couple of weeks, although he'll naturally have to make significant progress over that span with respect to his ability to swing a bat unencumbered.

  Perez (oblique) is making progress but remains weeks away from getting back on the field, Marc Topkin of the Tampa Bay Times reports. Initial reports when Perez landed on the injured list with a right oblique strain suggested that Perez would miss 2-to-3 weeks, but it's now been over a week and the timeline appears to be roughly the same. With Mike Zunino (quadriceps) also injured, the Rays have since acquired both Travis d'Arnaud and Erik Kratz, so it's unclear where exactly a healthy Perez would fit in the pecking order.
