Blue Jays placed LHP Luis Perez on the 60-day disabled list with a left elbow injury.

Perez, 28, had Tommy John surgery last summer and will likely miss most-to-all of the 2013 season. The move was made to make room for newly-acquired reliever Michael Schwimer.

Luis Perez will undergo season-ending Tommy John surgery on Tuesday in Florida.

Perez was diagnosed with a torn ulnar collateral ligament in his left elbow last week, so surgery was inevitable. He figures to be sidelined until the second half of 2013.

Blue Jays general manager Alex Anthopoulos said Friday that Luis Perez (elbow) will make a decision on surgery by Monday.

Perez was diagnosed with a torn ulnar collateral ligament in his left elbow earlier this week and is likely bound for Tommy John surgery. Either way, he's done for the season.

Blue Jays placed LHP Luis Perez on the 60-day disabled list.

Perez was diagnosed with a torn ulnar collateral ligament in his left elbow earlier this week and will miss the rest of the season. Tommy John surgery is likely the next step. Aaron Loup has been called up to take his place on the active roster.

Luis Perez - R - Blue Jays

According to Shi Davidi of Sportsnet.ca, Luis Perez has a torn ulnar collateral ligament in his left elbow and will miss the rest of the season.

Yet another blow for the injury-riddled Blue Jays' pitching staff. The team has yet to make an announcement on a course of action, but Tommy John surgery is almost certainly in his future. The 27-year-old Perez has been a valuable member of Toronto's bullpen this season, posting a 3.43 ERA and 39/16 K/BB ratio over 42 innings.

Luis Perez - R - Blue Jays

The Blue Jays are not expected to consider Luis Perez for a starting role.

Perez started four games with Toronto in 2011. ''Because he hasn't been stretched out, we would go to others first,'' manager John Farrell said. ''He's become such a valuable member of the bullpen, I'd hate to take away from one strength when we might have other options that might be equal to him in the rotation.'' Toronto's other options include minor league pitchers Jesse Chavez, Joel Carreno, and Chad Jenkins.

Luis Perez - R - Blue Jays

Luis Perez was pummeled by the Red Sox Tuesday, surrendering eight runs on 10 hits and two walks over just 2 2/3 innings.

Perez pitched surprisingly well in his first two starts since moving in from the bullpen, but he struggled in his third outing last week and the wheels fell off in this one. He has a decent matchup this weekend against the Orioles, but we would avoid him in all fantasy formats.

Luis Perez - R - Blue Jays

Luis Perez gave up two runs over five innings as part of a no-decision in a loss to the Rays on Saturday afternoon.

Perez allowed five hits while walking four and striking out four. The southpaw was pulled after throwing just 52 out of 93 pitches for strikes. While he has allowed just two earned runs over 11 innings in his first two starts, we would steer clear in mixed leagues, even with the last-place Orioles on tap for next week.

Luis Perez took a perfect game into the sixth inning as part of a win over the Athletics Sunday.

Perez ended up giving up one hit and walking two over six full innings. Remarkably, this was the sinkerballer's first career start after making 29 relief appearances this season. Although Perez will stick in the rotation with Brad Mills demoted, we're not buying here. Pitching in Oakland against the Athletics' pathetic lineup leads to some fluky outings.

Luis Perez - R - Blue Jays

Luis Perez will start Sunday against the Athletics in place of the recently demoted Brad Mills.

Perez has made 29 appearances for the Blue Jays this season -- all out of the bullpen -- but he has extensive starting experience in the minors, having started 93 games since converting from the outfield in 2007. He shouldn't be considered for fantasy purposes.

Blue Jays recalled LHP Luis Perez from Triple-A Las Vegas.

Perez has registered a 3.57 ERA in 35-plus innings out of the Jays' bullpen this season. He'll slot back into a mid-relief role and should continue to have success.

Luis Perez - R - Blue Jays

Blue Jays optioned LHP Luis Perez to Triple-A Las Vegas.

Perez has posted a cool 3.57 ERA in 35 1/3 innings of relief this season in the major leagues. The 26-year-old southpaw should be back in Toronto before long.

Luis Perez - R - Blue Jays

Blue Jays recalled LHP Luis Perez from Triple-A Las Vegas.

Perez appeared in three games for the Jays during a short stay in April, posting a 9.00 ERA. The 26-year-old will be used in low-leverage situations out of the Toronto bullpen.
