Perez is on the 7-day injured list at Double-A Corpus Christi with an undisclosed injury.
EDGE Analysis
Due to being on the 40-man roster entering the season, Perez made his big-league debut briefly earlier this season, but he was sent to Double-A back on April 18 and landed on the injured list retroactive to May 3. He is hitting .196 with one home run in 13 games at Double-A.

The Astros optioned Perez to Triple-A Sugar Land on Monday, Brian McTaggart of MLB.com reports.
EDGE Analysis
Perez was up with the Astros for the weekend series in Seattle, but he didn't see any action Friday through Sunday. With Yordan Alvarez (illness) making his return from the COVID-19 injured list ahead of Monday's game against the Angels, Perez was the logical choice to move off the 28-man active roster.

Perez was called up by the Astros on Friday, Chandler Rome of the Houston Chronicle reports.
EDGE Analysis
Perez has never played a game at the Triple-A level, but this is already his second major-league call-up of the season. He spent two days on the roster during the first series of the season while Yuli Gurriel was on the paternity list and will now replace Yordan Alvarez, who landed on the COVID-19 injured list in a corresponding move. Perez made a single pinch-hit appearance in his previous stint on the roster and is likely in line for similar usage this time around.

Perez was optioned to Double-A Corpus Christi on Sunday, Chandler Rome of the Houston Chronicle reports.
EDGE Analysis
Perez made his major-league debut Friday against the Angels and went 0-for-1 with a strikeout while serving as a pinch hitter. Yuli Gurriel will likely return from the paternity list ahead of Tuesday's game in Arizona, so Perez will head back to the minors, where he's in line for additional playing time.

Perez was recalled by the Astros on Friday, Chandler Rome of the Houston Chronicle reports.
EDGE Analysis
Perez began the regular season on Houston's taxi squad, but he'll be added to the major-league roster after Yuli Gurriel was placed on the paternity list. The 22-year-old Perez appeared in 69 games at Double-A Corpus Christi last year and hit .267 with eight homers, 34 runs, 27 RBI and two stolen bases. He'll be in uniform for Friday's game against the Angels.
