Perez was placed on the disabled list Sunday with a fractured right thumb, Jerry Crasnick of ESPN.com reports.

Analysis:

Perez, the backup catcher to Yan Gomes, received the start in Saturday's game against the Phillies and injured his finger when he made a diving play at the plate in the fifth inning. It's uncertain how long of a recovery timetable Perez will face due to the injury, but it seems likely he'll miss beyond the 15-day minimum. With Perez on the DL, Adam Moore will be recalled from Triple-A Columbus to provide some catching depth.
