The Rangers announced Martin Perez will start Saturday against the Cardinals. The move will push Nick Tepesch’s start back to Sunday, and Yu Darvish will pitch Tuesday against the Yankees. The Rangers did not announce a corresponding move.

The Rangers also optioned Josh Lindblom to Triple-A Round Rock to make room for Mitch Moreland’s return Friday. Lindblom started Thursday and allowed two runs on eight hits in five innings.
