Perez was placed on the disabled list Sunday with a fractured right thumb, Jerry Crasnick of ESPN.com reports.

Perez, the backup catcher to Yan Gomes, received the start in Saturday's game against the Phillies and injured his finger when he made a diving play at the plate in the fifth inning. It's uncertain how long of a recovery timetable Perez will face due to the injury, but it seems likely he'll miss beyond the 15-day minimum. With Perez on the DL, Adam Moore will be recalled from Triple-A Columbus to provide some catching depth.
