Indians manager Terry Francona said Friday that closer Chris Perez is scheduled to pitch in a minor league game on Saturday, but that he still hasn't made a decision on his availability for Opening Day.
Perez told reporters earlier in the week that his shoulder feels "100 percent", and barring any setbacks over the next week he should be ready to handle ninth-inning duties when the season begins. If he is unable to go, Vinnie Pestano would see save chances in the interim basis.
