No bull: Rangers’ Perez to miss first month after fall at ranch

Go ahead and insert your own bull-related joke here. Unfortunately for Martin Perez and the Texas Rangers, this isn’t a bunch of BS.

But it doesn’t stink.

The left-hander is expected to miss the first month of the 2018 season after he broke his non-throwing elbow during a fall after being startled by a bull at his ranch in Venezuela.

General manager Jon Daniels relayed the story Tuesday after the ribbon-cutting ceremony for the Texas Rangers MLB Youth Academy. Perez was injured Dec. 11, flew to Arlington a few days later and underwent surgery Monday.

Never miss a local story.
