Indians C Roberto Perez hopeful to avoid surgery on injured right thumb; Carlos Carrasco running

Indians catcher Roberto Perez was placed on the disabled list this past weekend with an injured right thumb, but the club is still searching for clarity on his timetable.

Perez is scheduled to have his thumb re-evaluated on Thursday to determine if surgery is necessary. Per Perez, an MRI revealed a fracture but the club would like to look at it again after a few days pass, which will allow the swelling to dissipate.

“We’re still gathering information,” Perez said. “I’m just rehabbing it, icing it, keeping myself calm, because it’s going to be a long process.
