Perez is out of the lineup Sunday against the Padres, MLB.com's Chris Haft reports.

Analysis:

Perez has started four of the last five games in center field while Angel Pagan has been nursing a back injury, but he'll take a seat for the Sunday afternoon contest. Gregor Blanco will move over to cover center, with Chris Dominguez receiving the surprise start in left. Perez is likely to eventually be phased out of the mix once Pagan and Mike Morse (oblique) are back to full strength, but with question marks surrounding both of those options, Perez should see steady reps for the remainder of the regular season.
