LHP Oliver Perez didn't pitch exceptionally well in a rehab start for Class AAA Buffalo on Friday night. Still, a team source told the New York Daily News that the Mets plan to activate Perez from the disabled list to face the Dodgers next week at Citi Field. Perez was charged with three runs on five hits in five-plus innings against Rochester. Often control-challenged, he walked four and threw only 46 of 92 pitches for strikes. The southpaw has missed two months with right knee inflammation after signing a three-year, $36 million deal last offseason.
