Perez made a brief two game appearance with the major league Reds in 2005 but went hitless in three plate appearances. In his final season as a player, Perez assumed the dual position of player/coach with the Altoona Curve in the Pittsburgh Pirates minor league system.

Perez became a full-time coach in 2014 with the West Virginia Power. He coached Altoona in 2015 and the Indianapolis Indians in 2016. Perez began the 2017 season coaching Indianapolis before moving to the Bristol Pirates in June to manage the short-season team.
