DALLAS -- Rangers left-hander Martin Perez said he will be ready for Opening Day, despite breaking the radial bone in his right elbow in December.

The initial prognosis was Perez might miss the first month of the season while recovering from an accident at his ranch in Venezuela. Perez said that is not the case.

"I am not going to miss any time," said Perez at the Rangers Awards Dinner on Friday night. "I have conviction I will be ready the first day."
