Perez is competing for one of the two open spots in the Braves' rotation, MLB.com reports.
Julio Teheran, Bud Norris, and Matt Wisler appear to be the only locks for the Opening Day rotation at this point. Perez finished strong last year with quality starts in four of his final five turns, but he will face competition this spring from the likes of Kyle Kendrick and Jhoulys Chacin (both on minors deal) as well as Manny Banuelos and top prospect Aaron Blair. The 24-year-old Perez gave up one run on two hits in an inning of work against Baltimore on Tuesday in the Braves' Grapefruit League opener.
