Chris Perez (shoulder) tossed a scoreless inning Tuesday in the Indians' loss to the Athletics. It was his first time pitching in a Cactus League game since February. He allowed no hits, no walks and struck out one batter. Perez has missed most of spring training with a shoulder injury, but he is now fully expected to be the Cleveland closer on Opening Day.
