Martin Perez has been promoted from Double-A Frisco to Triple-A Round Rock.
Perez posted a rough 11.05 ERA in 7 1/3 innings at the Double-A level, but he's coming off a fractured forearm and still in recovery mode so the poor results are to be expected. He'll try to get right at Triple-A before joining the Rangers at some point in early June. May 16 - 3:55 PM

Martin Perez - R - Rangers

Rangers activated LHP Martin Perez from the 15-day disabled list; optioned him to Double-A Frisco.

Perez was only two games into his rehab assignment, so he's still working his way back from a left wrist injury. The Rangers want to keep Perez as a starter in the minors rather than add him to the bullpen, so he'll be the top option if one of Nick Tepesch or Justin Grimm struggles.

Martin Perez - R - Rangers

Rangers manager Ron Washington said Martin Perez (forearm) is not guaranteed a spot in the rotation once he's healthy.

It's no surprise given the success of Justin Grimm and Nick Tepesch. "His job is to go and get ready," Washington said. "When he’s ready, we’ll make a decision." Perez will begin a rehab assignment on Monday at Double-A Frisco.

Martin Perez - R - Rangers

Martin Perez (forearm) is scheduled to throw two innings in an extended spring game on Saturday.

Perez will throw 18 pitches per inning. The left-hander looks to be fully recovered from his fractured left forearm, but he needs to build up his stamina. "Like Colby, he is kind of in spring training mode as far as where his arm is at, and he’s getting stronger and stronger," Rangers rehab pitching coordinator Keith Comstock said. Perez should be ready to return by mid-May.

Perez has been sidelined since early March with a fractured left forearm. Barring any setbacks, he could be an option to join the Rangers' rotation sometime next month.

Martin Perez - R - Rangers

Rangers placed LHP Martin Perez on the 15-day disabled list, retroactive to March 22, with a fractured left forearm.

He'll be out until early-to-mid May with the injury. Perez is no safe bet to join the big league rotation when healthy, especially since Colby Lewis will be back around the same time.

Martin Perez - R - Rangers

Martin Perez has been fitted with a temporary splint and not the traditional plaster arm cast.

Perez only has a cracked ulna bone in his left forearm, not a displaced fracture. He will be shut down for the next four weeks but should be ready to rock at some point in early-to-mid May. The talented young left-hander will likely report to the Triple-A level once he's healthy, but he is sure to be promoted to Texas eventually. The Rangers' fifth starter spot is up for grabs.

Martin Perez - R - Rangers

CBS Sports' Jon Heyman reports Martin Perez suffered a fractured left forearm in Sunday's Cactus League game and will be shut down for the next four weeks.

It's terrible news for the Rangers. Perez was injured on a comebacker in just his second appearance of spring training and is now set to open the season on the disabled list. With Perez sidelined, Kyle McClellan, Randy Wells, and Robbie Ross are the leading candidates to win the final spot in the Opening Day rotation. The Rangers have also "remained in contact" with free agent Kyle Lohse and could look to revisit the idea of signing him.

Martin Perez - R - Rangers

Martin Perez left Sunday's Cactus League game with a left wrist injury.

Perez was hit by a comebacker and had to be taken to the hospital for x-rays. The extent of the injury hasn't been reported, but this has the potential to be a serious setback. Perez is the favorite to open the season as the Rangers' No. 5 starter.

Martin Perez - R - Rangers

Martin Perez struck out two over two scoreless innings Monday against the Rockies.

Perez threw 16 out of 27 pitches for strikes. One of his strikeouts caught Troy Tulowitzki looking. It was a very favorable first impression as he attempts to win a rotation spot. Justin Grimm, who is also in the mix for the fifth spot, gave up three runs on four hits and a walk over two innings.

Martin Perez - R - Rangers

Rangers pitching coach Mike Maddux has indicated that Martin Perez, Robbie Ross and Justin Grimm will all be given the opportunity to compete for the fifth spot in the Rangers rotation.

That is assuming of course, that the Rangers don't ink free agent Kyle Lohse before the start of spring training. The 21-year-old Perez is the most dynamic talent in the bunch and the one that savvy owners should be keeping an eye on in that race.

Martin Perez - R - Rangers

Martin Perez lost to the A's after giving up four runs in four innings on Monday.

Picking Perez over Scott Feldman didn't work out very well for Ron Washington tonight, and the Rangers still need to win one of the next two games to clinch the AL West. Perez dropped to 1-4 with a 5.45 ERA. It's doubtful he'll be a part of the Rangers' postseason roster.

Martin Perez - R - Rangers

Rangers manager Ron Washington said Martin Perez is still scheduled to start Monday in Oakland.

Perez has pitched poorly in both starts since taking Scott Feldman's spot in the rotation, but Washington isn't ready to turn back to Feldman or Roy Oswalt yet. "Right now he's only been able to just go out there for a couple innings. His pitch count is not built up," Washington said of Oswalt. "As of right now it's Martin."
