Detroit Tigers' right-hander Franklin Perez, who wasn’t in camp on Monday because of stomach pain, missed Tuesday’s action, as well.

The Tigers are going to test Perez further, in an attempt to try and identify the cause of the pain, manager Ron Gardenhire said. He will not participate in workouts on Wednesday, either.

“It’s not muscle related,” Gardenhire said. “It’s not a baseball injury. But he’s in a lot of pain.
