Franklin Perez sidelined with stomach pain

Detroit Tigers right-handed pitching prospect Franklin Perez has been out with an unspecified stomach illness since Sunday, and according to reporter Chris McCosky, the Tigers are starting to get worried.

Perez has apparently been experiencing acute stomach pain since the weekend, and it has come to the point where the team sent the 21-year-old for additional testing on Tuesday in order to determine if the pain is related to anything more serious.

We will update this story as further information becomes available.
