Martin Perez struggled to contain the Mets, allowing three earned runs on six hits and two walks while striking out only one over 5.2 innings in Monday's 6-3 loss.
Fantasy Impact
This performance marks a slight deviation from his strong start to the season, where he boasted a 2.55 ERA and a 1.26 WHIP through his first four starts. Despite the setback, Perez's ERA and WHIP have remained respectable, but his low strikeout rate of 5.8 K/9 continues to limit his upside in fantasy formats that heavily reward strikeouts.
