Perez (thumb) will start his rehab assignment at the Arizona Rookie League on Sunday.

Perez's fractured thumb has kept him on the shelf for two months, but he'll finally get back into game action Sunday at rookie ball. He'll likely need several games to get re-acclimated to catching a full nine innings, so the Indians may not need to make a decision on him until after the All-Star break. Cleveland's current catching combination of Yan Gomes and Chris Gimenez could be a roadblock to Perez's return to the big league club as well unless they opt to carry three catchers.
