The Mets announced before today’s 7-3 loss to the Marlins that Oliver Perez has been yanked from his minor-league rehab assignment due to a recurrence of patellar tendinitis in his right knee. Perez, who has been on the DL since being pulled from the rotation earlier this month, made just one rehab start with Triple-A Buffalo this week before reinjuring his knee.

The Mets said Perez will return to their camp in Port St. Lucie to begin his recovery over again.
