Roberto Perez played his first game since his May 7th season-ending injury. The free agent catcher is attempting to prove that he’s healthy before signing with any teams this off-season.

The Pirates have said they are interested in bringing Perez back, and they have a need for a starting catcher. Perez caught seven innings in his debut and he went 0-for-2 at the plate.
