The Texas Rangers have placed struggling left-hander Martin Perez on the 10-day disabled list because of continued discomfort in his surgically repaired non-pitching elbow.
Perez has returned to Texas to be examined by Dr. Keith Meister, according to the Rangers. He underwent surgery in December on his right elbow, which he fractured when he fell at his ranch in Venezuela.
The Rangers announced the move Monday, one day after Perez allowed four runs in a loss at Toronto and fell to 2-3 this season. Perez has a 9.67 ERA in five starts this season and has allowed 41 hits -- tied for the most in the majors -- in just 22 1/3 innings.
