Martin Perez optioned to Triple-A Round Rock to make room for Dempster
Martin Perez has been optioned to Triple-A Round Rock to make room for recently acquired Ryan Dempster on the Rangers roster.
He was called up earlier this month when Colby Lewis was lost for the season with a torn tendon in his right elbow. In his second big league stint this season, Perez gave up one run on five hits over six innings, earning a no-decision in a 2-1 loss to the Red Sox July 24 and tossed a scoreless ninth inning in Tuesday’s 6-2 loss to the Angels.
