Martin Perez will throw two innings and 35-40 pitches in extended spring training Saturady as he rehabilitates from a broken wrist, the Fort Worth Star-Telegram reports.
Perez is expected to return to the Rangers by late May. It's unclear how the rotation will shake out, as he will return about the same time as Colby Lewis. Nick Tepesch has pitched well -- 2.53 ERA and 4.7 K/BB -- and there are only two spots available.
