The Rangers have announced that left-hander Martin Perez, who has been sidelined for 14 months following Tommy John surgery, is scheduled to make his 2015 debut Friday in Houston.
Perez struggled in six minor league appearances, allowing 34 hits in 25 2/3 innings and compiling a 4.56 ERA. But he only walked three.
His return to the rotation means Colby Lewis will start Saturday and Yovani Gallardo on Sunday.
