Eury Perez Plays Catch Pain-Free
8 months agoMiami Marlins right-hander Eury Perez (elbow) played catch in camp pain-free on Saturday and will play catch again on Sunday. Even though it's already decided that Perez will open the 2024 regular season on the 15-day injured list due to inflammation in his right elbow, it's good news to see him throwing a baseball without any pain this weekend. The 20-year-old avoided structural damage in his arm and could make his season debut in late April if he can avoid any setbacks as he begins to ramp back up. Perez showed last year that he has tons of fantasy upside by going 5-6 with a 3.15 ERA and 1.13 WHIP with 108 strikeouts in 91 1/3 innings over his first 19 major-league starts. There's still a lot to like about Perez, but his elbow injury makes him a bit more of a risk in fantasy heading into the 2024 season.
