Eury Perez

The Marlins placed Eury Perez on the 15-day IL with left SI joint inflammation.

Fantasy Impact

The move to the IL will likely end the rookie’s excellent first season. The 20-year-old finishes the 2023 season with a 3.15 ERA, 1.13 WHIP, and 108 strikeouts over 19 starts. Perez would be eligible to return to the team’s active roster if the Marlins make the playoffs.

Eury Perez had a rough outing on Thursday against the Brewers, lasting just 4 2/3 innings while allowing five hits and three earned runs.

Fantasy Impact

Despite recording seven strikeouts and not issuing any walks, Perez was unable to keep the Marlins in the game, resulting in a 4-2 loss. This performance only adds to his struggles this season, as he now holds a disappointing 4.20 ERA and 1.10 WHIP through 18 starts. While his strikeout rate of 10.8 K/9 remains impressive, Perez's overall numbers suggest that he has been inconsistent on the mound. Fantasy managers should approach him with caution going forward, as his lack of consistency raises concerns about his ability to consistently deliver quality outings.

Perez's outing on Friday was marked by some control issues, as he allowed three walks in just five innings pitched.

Fantasy Impact

Despite this, he managed to limit the damage to just two earned runs on four hits while striking out four batters. This performance adds to Perez's overall solid season, where he has posted a 2.90 ERA and a 1.10 WHIP in 17 games started. His impressive 10.65 K/9 and 3.54 strikeout-to-walk ratio further highlight his effectiveness on the mound. While the lack of a win in this game is disappointing, Perez's consistent performance throughout the season makes him a reliable fantasy option going forward.
