Chris Perez was diagnosed with mild tendonitis of his right rotator cuff following an MRI and will not throw for 5-7 days. If Perez is pain-free after the 5-7 day window, he will be permitted to resume throwing. It sounds like he won't be back from the disabled list when he's first eligible, but all things considered, things could have been much worse. The Indians are giving Vinnie Pestano the first crack at the closer role during his absence.
