Perez (shoulder) will resume throwing this week and is still a couple of weeks from coming off the 15-day DL, David O'Brien of the Atlanta Journal-Constitution reports.
Perez will likely throw some bullpen sessions and make a rehab start before returning, according to the report. The right-hander has been out with a rotator cuff strain since June 8, but is clearly making progress towards recovery. Expect John Gant to continue getting starts until Perez is healthy.
