Fantasy Impact:
Perez, 25, was the headliner in the Tigers' trade of Justin Verlander to the Astros at the 2017 trade deadline. However, his time with the Tigers has been ravaged by injuries and underperformance. After tossing a 3.09 ERA at Double-A with Houston just 19 years of age, Perez has appeared in just 29 games with the Tigers organization, most recently yielding eight earned runs in five relief appearances at Single-A this season.
