Twins assistant GM Rob Antony said Thursday that Rafael Perez will audition for the starting rotation.

Perez has never started a game in the major leagues, but he has done it in the minors and the Twins are going to give him a shot to shine in that role this spring. The 30-year-old lefty is already recovered from his September shoulder surgery. He owns a 3.64 career MLB ERA.
