Here's John Perrotto's version of the story. Rob Biertempfel has a note, too.
Perez is so unusual a starter, there really is no sense is having him rehab at AAA. He's going to crush AAA hitters doing things that will go punished in the big leagues. It sounds like he's working with Spin to recapture the mechanics he used last year.
Assuming there's no injury to his arm or shoulder, he should be ready to go soon enough. The rest of the starters have stepped it up. So much for the CW that said the Bucs would need 30 quality starts from Kip and Ollie to compete. Right now they look competitive without him. Getting him back in 2004 form would provide a huge lift, of course.
