Perez (hamstring) will not return this season, Steve Carney of Sports Radio 620 WDAE reports.
The rookie catcher hit a solid .284/.304/.392 in 24 games before landing on the disabled list in late August. He played in a rehab game Monday but was unable to run at 100 percent. With their playoff hopes extinguished, the Rays are focusing on Perez being ready for next season.
