Cleveland sent Perez (shoulder) to Double-A Akron on Tuesday to begin a rehab assignment.

Perez has been on the injured list since Aug. 6 with an inflamed right shoulder, so he'll likely need at least a couple games in the minors to get his conditioning in order and his timing back at the plate. Once reinstated from the IL, Perez will likely work in a timeshare at catcher with Austin Hedges.
