Perez (thumb) was activated from the disabled list and confirmed as the starting pitcher for Monday's game against the Red Sox.
Perez is ready to return to the rotation after missing just one start while on the disabled list with a fractured right thumb on his non-throwing hand. The 26-year-old owns a 4.70 ERA, 1.65 WHIP and 61:32 K:BB through 15 starts (82.1 innings) this season, and he's set to face a Red Sox team that has scored more runs than any other club over the past week. A corresponding roster move is expected to be announced prior to Monday's contest.
