Perez fractured his non-pitching thumb Friday but is expecting to make his next start Wednesday, Evan Grant of the Dallas Morning News reports.
Following a freak accident that caused Perez to suffer a small fracture at the very top of his thumb, the left-hander stated that he would be good to go for next week, but the Rangers were not as sure. In the occasion that Perez would be unable to make his scheduled start, the team would likely toss Yu Darvish on Wednesday with Andrew Cashner moved up to Thursday. Perez is looking to throw a bullpen Saturday, and there will be more information regarding his status following that session.
