Wenceel Perez Injury: On track for rehab games this week

Perez (back) said Monday that he's scheduled to begin a rehab assignment with High-A West Michigan on Thursday, Evan Woodbery of MLive.com reports.

Perez's rehab assignment will be contingent on him getting through his increased baseball activities early in the week without any hiccups. The 25-year-old has been out all season while recovering from lumbar spine inflammation and won't be eligible for activation until late May.
