After being cut by the Blue Jays in early March, Perez was unable to catch on with another team during the 2014 season. Perez had a 3.69 ERA in 19 appearances with the Blue Jays in 2013, but apparently no one is interested in a mediocre LOOGY who opted for rehab instead of the Tommy John surgery recommended to him last year.

Perez is out of the lineup Sunday against the Padres, MLB.com's Chris Haft reports. Perez has started four of the last five games in center field while Angel Pagan has been nursing a back injury, but he'll take a seat for the Sunday afternoon contest. Gregor Blanco will move over to cover center, with Chris Dominguez receiving the surprise start in left. Perez is likely to eventually be phased out of the mix once Pagan and Mike Morse (oblique) are back to full strength, but with question marks surrounding both of those options, Perez should see steady reps for the remainder of the regular season.

Blue Jays reassigned LHP Juan Perez to minor league camp. The veteran southpaw was brought to camp as a non-roster invitee after posting a 3.69 ERA, 1.20 WHIP and 33/15 K/BB ratio over 31 2/3 innings with the Jays in 2013. He'll continue to function as organizational depth in the minor leagues.

Blue Jays signed LHP Juan Perez to a minor league contract. He received an invite to spring training. Perez was outrighted off the 40-man roster hours earlier on Tuesday, but Toronto brought him back quickly. The 35-year-old southpaw has logged a 3.92 ERA and 1.33 WHIP over 43 2/3 frames in limited action at the big league level the past three seasons. Perez has proven that he can be competent in low-leverage situations when needed.

Blue Jays sent LHP Juan Perez outright to Triple-A Buffalo. Perez declared for free agency. The left-hander has actually been productive in an extremely limited sample size over the past three seasons, posting a 3.92 ERA and 1.33 WHIP over 43 2/3 innings for three different organizations (Philadelphia, Milwaukee and Toronto). He'll find a new team with whom he'll attempt to crack a bullpen in spring training. At age 35, Perez will have to settle for a minor league deal and likely hang around on the farm again until injuries hit the big league squad.

Blue Jays placed LHP Juan Perez on the 15-day disabled list. Perez left Friday's game with an elbow injury and is a candidate to miss the remainder of the season. The Blue Jays have recalled Mickey Storey to replace him on the active roster.

Juan Perez was removed from Friday's game against the Athletics with an apparent injury. Perez worked 1 2/3 innings of relief, surrendering five runs on four hits and a pair of walks. He was shaking his hand after delivering his 55th and final pitch of the evening, and was replaced by Sergio Santos. The team should have an update on his status after completion of the game.

Blue Jays purchased the contract of LHP Juan Perez from Triple-A Buffalo. Perez, 34, had a 0.86 ERA and 25/11 K/BB ratio in 21 innings over 17 appearances in Triple-A. He'll provide some depth in the bullpen.

Juan Perez has elected free agency. Perez, 34, held a 5.14 ERA over 10 games for the Brewers this season. He should be able to find a minor league deal somewhere.
