Perez Out Four to Five Months

Ouch!

First it looked like Perez was going to start in center for the Rays until Upton was back in shape, so we might not see him here until late May or June. And then he dislocated his wrist. Now he’s had arthroscopic surgery with pins put in to help things heal up right.

Not good for Fernando, not good for the Rays, not good for the Bulls.

Apparently it all goes back to Fernando trying out a very slightly larger glove (maybe a 1/4 to 1/2 inch longer fingers) that caught on the turf as he was diving for a ball. Trying to find something positive in this, but not having much luck. We wish Fernando well and we look forward to seeing him later on in the season.
