Mets Put Perez on Disabled List With Knee Tendinit

3:49 p.m. | Updated After days of failing to persuade the struggling Oliver Perez to accept a demotion to the minor leagues,Cheap Metal Mulisha Hats, the Mets and Perez finally found a mutually agreeable, if somewhat dubious, solution Saturday.
Within hours of the Mets’ needing to make a roster move, Perez was put on the 15-day disabled list with knee tendinitis in time for the Mets to activate Jon Niese. Niese,Cheap Scarves, who had a strained hamstring,Chicago Cubs Hats, was scheduled to start Saturday’s game against the Florida Marlins at Citi Field.
Perez, who was removed from the rotation after a disastrous start May 14 in Florida in which he gave up seven runs and nine hits, including four home runs,cheap Detroit Tigers Hats, complained of the pain in his knee Friday, the Mets said.
He had a magnetic imaging resonance test Friday night and was expected to travel to Port St. Lucie, Fla.,Texas Rangers Hats sale, on Saturday to begin rehabilitation. Soon after, he will begin what is assumed to be the real purpose of the trip: finding a solution to his pitching woes.
Teams are not allowed to place players on the disabled list without a legitimate medical reason, so Major League Baseball will probably investigate the circumstances of this case.
The Mets must submit documentation,Tampa Bay Rays Hats, which is usually a report from a physician and sometimes a copy of tests performed. It is highly unusual for the league office to reverse a move to the disabled list. Often, especially in cases with tenuous circumstances, teams confer with the commissioner’s office before making the move in order to ensure they can do it.
Manager Jerry Manuel said Perez had not complained of discomfort before Friday,Fox Racing Hats Sale, when he ran into Perez while making his rounds in the training room.
“He said,cheap Cleveland Indians Hats, ‘My knee is bothering me,Racing Hats,”’ Manuel said. “And I asked, ‘When did this start? He said after the three innings that he had in San Diego. And that was that.”
Manuel acknowledged that the timing of Perez’s injury would raise suspicions, but he defended the legitimacy of the injury, even going so far as to coin a new word in doing so.
“In my years that I have been here, the Wilpons, Saul Katz, Omar Minaya, they have had similar situations where they could have used what I would say would be a less integrious option,” Manuel said. “But they never chose that.”
He added: “This purely is Oliver Perez. Oliver Perez came in and said that his knee bothered him. Again, I’ve been here a number of years; the integrity of those men has not wavered when it comes to these types of situations.”
Perez was 0-3 with a 6.28 earned run average in seven starts and four relief appearances. He consistently resisted a demotion and never complained of any physical ailments. Last September, Perez had surgery on the same knee.
By going on the disabled list, Perez will still receive the major league service time toward a 10-year pension, which he would not have received if he had accepted a demotion to the minors.
