Martin Perez Knocked Out In The Fourth Inning
4 years agoBoston Red Sox starting pitcher Martin Perez was knocked out in the fourth inning Friday having recorded only 11 outs despite not allowing a single earned run. Three runs came around to score on six hits and two walks, but all were unearned. Perez also struck out three batters and received a no-decision. It's hard to blame Perez when he didn't allow an earned run, but he only has one quality start in his last six outings. He's a streaming option for fantasy purposes, but he's hard to count on and should be used with caution.

Martin Perez Rejoins Roster For NLDS
5 months agoSan Diego Padres starting pitcher Martin Perez is on the NLDS roster after being left off the Wild Card roster last week. Perez is rejoining the roster because Joe Musgrove (elbow) is set to undergo Tommy John surgery. As a result, the Padres will enter the NLDS with four potential starters, including Dylan Cease, Yu Darvish, Michael King, and Perez. Since joining San Diego at the trade deadline, the southpaw has held a modest 3.46 ERA and a 1.21 WHIP, with a 17:44 BB:K ratio across 52 frames. However, he struggled with Pittsburgh in the first half, holding a hefty 5.20 ERA and 1.65 WHIP. Perez could start Game 4, but it is best to leave him off your DFS lineup as he sits with an underwhelming 18.1% K rate and a poor 41.5% hard-hit rate.

Martin Perez Returns From Paternity List
6 months agoSan Diego Padres starting pitcher Martin Perez (paternity) was activated off the paternity list on Saturday afternoon. In a corresponding move, the Padres optioned left-handed pitcher Tom Cosgrove to Triple-A El Paso. The 33-year-old is now scheduled to make his next start on Sunday against the San Francisco Giants. Since joining the Padres in late July, Perez has looked quite solid, as he has posted a 2.84 ERA and a 1.18 WHIP across 38 frames. Earlier this summer in the Steel City, Perez held a 5.20 ERA and a 1.65 WHIP across 83 innings. Perez should continue to have a stable position in the Padres rotation going forward and could be worth streaming in deeper leagues in favorable matchups despite his modest strikeout potential.

Martin Perez Heads To Paternity List
6 months agoSan Diego Padres starting pitcher Martin Perez has been placed on the paternity leave list on Wednesday. The left-hander can miss up to three games as he spends time with his family. The assumption is that Perez will be back in time to take the mound for his scheduled start on Friday. He has been solid since joining the Padres roster. Perez has a 2.84 ERA and 1.18 WHIP across seven starts in San Diego. He'll be a decent streaming option assuming he's back in time to make his next start.

Martin Perez Expected To Make San Diego Debut On Saturday
8 months agoSan Diego starting pitcher Martin Perez is expected to debut with his new team on Saturday evening as the Padres play host to the Colorado Rockies. The southpaw carried a poor 5.20 ERA, 1.65 WHIP, and a 32:63 BB:K ratio across 83 innings in the Steel City earlier this season. The 33-year-old currently sits with a high 43.3% hard-hit rate and 8.7% barrel rate, which suggests these struggles could continue in the second half. Perez currently sits as the fifth man in the San Diego rotation but may shift to a long relief role once Joe Musgrove (elbow) returns from the 60-day IL. Perez could be a sneaky play in DFS, however, as he faces the Colorado Rockies, who hold a team .234 AVG, which is the fifth-worst mark against left-handed pitching this season.
