Braves right-hander Williams Perez is set to begin a minor league rehab assignment. Perez has been on the disabled list since the end of June with a left foot contusion.
He will report to Triple-A Gwinnett to start on Thursday, according to the Atlanta Journal Constitution. The rookie made 11 appearances (eight starts) before landing on the DL. He owns a 2.88 ERA over 50 innings of work.
Perez will likely need at least a couple of rehab appearances before being ready to return.
