Perez (shoulder) resumes throwing program
Chris Perez - R - Cleveland Indians
March 10, 2013 - 1:20 PM ET

Chris Perez (shoulder) resumed his throwing program Sunday.

He's only playing some light catch so far, but it's obviously a step in the right direction. Perez is dealing with a strained muscle in his right shoulder but is expected to be ready for Opening Day if he can avoid setbacks. Vinnie Pestano could get the early save chances if Perez needs extra time.
