According to Mark Bowman of MLB.com, the change doesn&#8217;t necessarily mean that Perez will be a regular in the rotation moving forward, or that Holmes will be headed to the bullpen on anything more than a short-term basis. Whether he&#8217;s been used as a starter or reliever, Perez has been excellent this season; he&#8217;ll take a 2.22 ERA and 0.99 WHIP over 28.1 innings into Wednesday&#8217;s outing.<\/p>\n<p>        More News<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Perez will start Wednesday&#8217;s game against the Mariners in Seattle.
