Perez is expected to be available in relief for Tuesday's game against the Athletics with Jose Suarez being named Atlanta's starter, Chad Bishop of The Atlanta Journal-Constitution reports.
After Atlanta selected Perez's contract from Triple-A Gwinnett on Monday, the veteran lefty appeared to be the most likely candidate to fill the vacant fifth spot in the rotation. Instead, manager Walt Weiss will turn to Suarez, who wasn't needed out of the bullpen in the first four games of the season. Perez will take Suarez's spot in the bullpen after joining the active roster as a replacement for Didier Fuentes, who was optioned to Triple-A Gwinnett on Monday.
