Strong again in win Perez (4-1) allowed two hits and a walk while striking out six over six scoreless innings to earn the win Wednesday over the Mariners.

Impact With reports of Perez being the likely roster casualty for when Trevor Rogers (biceps) returns, the 20-year-old right-hander did his best to make a case to stay on the roster. This was Perez's longest start of the season, and it was arguably his most dominant yet. He's shown little trouble with major-league hitters, posting a 1.80 ERA, 1.09 WHIP and 36:14 K:BB over 35 innings across seven appearances. The idea behind sending Perez down would be workload management -- he's at 66 frames this season after tossing just 77 innings last year and 78 the year before. Rogers experienced soreness in his non-throwing shoulder over the weekend, which might be enough to buy Perez at least one more start in the majors, which is tentatively lined up to be at home versus the Blue Jays next week.

Could be optioned soon Perez could be optioned to the minors when Trevor Rogers (biceps) returns from the injured list within the next week or so, Barry Jackson and Craig Mish of the Miami Herald report.

Impact Whether it's when Rogers is activated or soon after, Perez being sent back to the minors at some point seems to be inevitable. He doesn't deserve to be demoted, of course, having put up a 2.17 ERA and 30:13 K:BB over 29 innings covering six starts. However, the 20-year-old has never thrown more than 78 innings in a pro season and has already reached 60 frames between the majors and minors in 2023, so some level of workload management here is necessary. Jackson and Mish write that the Marlins are comfortable in letting Perez throw 100-to-120 innings this season and sending him to the minors would more easily allow the team to limit his starts to one per 7-to-10 days. The goal would be to curtail Perez's workload now so he could potentially be available down the stretch should Miami remain in playoff contention.

Fans six in no-decision Perez allowed one run on five hits and two walks over five innings in Friday's loss to the White Sox. He struck out six and did not factor in the decision.

Impact The only damage against Perez was a solo shot by Yasmani Grandal in the second inning. Perez tossed 10 shutout innings in his previous two starts and has allowed two or fewer runs in five of his first six MLB starts. He lowered his season ERA to 2.17 with a 30:13 K:BB through 29 frames. Perez is lined up for a start in Seattle next week.

Blanks Athletics Perez (3-1) earned the win Saturday, allowing four hits and one walk over five scoreless innings in a 12-1 win over the Athletics. He struck out five.

Impact Perez made his second consecutive start without allowing a run, moving to 10 straight scoreless innings. Though the 20-year-old has had some struggles with command in the bigs (4.1 BB/9), he has struck out 24 batters in 24 innings of work thus far to go along with a 2.25 ERA and 1.17 WHIP. Perez is tentatively expected to face the White Sox and Mariners in his next two starts and should remain firmly in the fantasy conversation.

Throws five shutout innings Perez (2-1) allowed two hits and four walks while striking out three over five shutout innings to earn the win over the Angels on Sunday.

Impact Perez's four walks were a blemish, but he kept runs off the board for the first time in his four career starts. There's still room for growth with his command at the big-league level -- he has issued 10 walks in 19 innings so far, though he's also racked up 19 strikeouts. The 20-year-old also has decent ratios with a 2.84 ERA and 1.21 WHIP, so he's a safe distance away from looking overmatched. He's projected for a favorable home start versus Oakland his next time out.

Struggles in Colorado Perez (1-1) took the loss Tuesday versus the Rockies, allowing four runs (three earned) on four hits and three walks with three strikeouts in 4.1 innings.

Impact A stop at Coors Field was always going to be a test for the rookie, and he held his own until things got out of hand in the fifth inning. The silver lining from Tuesday is that this was the first time in three starts he hasn't allowed a home run. Perez has a 3.86 ERA, 1.21 WHIP and 16:6 K:BB through 14 innings. He'll be closer to sea level for his next start, which is projected to be on the road versus the Angels this weekend.

Picks up first big-league victory Perez (1-0) earned the win over Washington on Thursday, allowing one run on three hits and one walk while striking out six batters over five innings.

Impact Perez gave up a solo homer to Jeimer Candelario in the fourth inning, but that was the only tally the Nationals managed against him. The rookie right-hander didn't miss many bats, but he got 18 called strikes and punched out six batters. Perez is only 20 years old, but he hasn't looked overmatched at the big-league level, allowing three runs and posting a 13:3 K:BB over 9.2 frames. His next start is tentatively slated to come in the altitude of Colorado against the Rockies.

Marlins phenom Eury Perez has arrived. The sky is the limit for the 6-8 pitcher

Strikes out seven in MLB debut Perez did not factor into the decision Friday, allowing two runs on four hits and two walks over 4.2 innings during a 7-4 loss to Cincinnati. He struck out seven.

Impact Perez made the jump from Double-A Pensacola to make his MLB debut Friday, and despite taking a no-decision, he impressed with his stuff and gave Miami a chance to compete. Both of the runs he allowed came via solo home runs, but he kept the bases clean for the most part and half of the rookie's outs were strikeouts. The 20-year-old presumably did enough to earn another start at the big-league level, which is tentatively scheduled for a three-game set versus Washington next week.

Contract officially selected Perez's contract was selected from Double-A Pensacola on Friday.

Impact Perez will make his major-league debut as the Marlins' starter during Friday's matchup against the Reds. He's been productive at Pensacola to begin the year, posting a 2.32 ERA and 0.81 WHIP in 31 innings over six starts. Perez has an impressive four-pitch arsenal with solid command and has the tools to succeed at the big-league level.

MAY 12, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Making MLB debut Friday Perez will be recalled from Double-A Pensacola to start for the Marlins on Friday against the Reds, Jordan McPherson of the Miami Herald reports.

Impact Perez will make his MLB debut against Cincinnati on Friday, and he's earned the promotion with a 2.32 ERA and 42:9 K:BB ratio for Pensacola over 31 innings in his six starts in the Southern League. The 6-foot-8 right-hander shows four pitches that can miss bats, and he commands all four offerings very well for a 20-year-old. There may be some ups-and-downs for Perez in his first taste of major-league action, but everything is here for him to provide fantasy relevance from the minute he steps on the field.

MAY 10, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

May be ready for next challenge Perez struck out 11 baters over five innings Tuesday for Double-A Pensacola, and pitching coach Dave Eiland believes the 20-year-old is ready for a promotion to Triple-A, Ben Weinr...

Impact "He had his best fastball command that I've seen out of him in the year-plus that I've had him, and of course, that sets up everything else," Eiland said after the game. "That's saying a lot as well as he pitched last year. Just as far as the way he uses his pitches, the way he's commanding them all, the way they all complement one another. That's what you want to see in a young pitcher, a young prospect." Including his stint with Pensacola in 2022, Perez now sports a 3.69 ERA, 1.08 WHIP and 139:32 K:BB through 100 innings at Double-A, and the only benchmark left for him to reach before a bump up to Triple-A could be tied to his workload. He hasn't yet been allowed to take on a regular five-day schedule in the Blue Wahoos rotation, instead taking the mound every sixth day this season.

MAY 3, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Dominant outing at Double-A Perez gave up two hits and a walk over five scoreless innings while striking out five for Double-A Pensacola on Thursday.

Impact Just a few days after his 20th birthday, the right-hander carved up an overmatched Birmingham lineup, producing 17 swinging strikes among his 71 pitches. It's Perez's first win of the year, and while his 17:5 K:BB through 14 innings in three starts perhaps isn't as dominant as many expected, it's important to remember that he's the youngest pitcher at the Double-A level. Merely holding his own against much older hitters would be impressive enough, but Perez has the talent -- and the high 90s heat -- to do much more. Despite his age, it wouldn't be a surprise to see him force a promotion to Triple-A sometime over the summer.
