Availability
The Nationals optioned RHP Luis Perales to Triple-A Rochester.
Fantasy Impact
Perales was acquired by the Nationals in a trade back in December. He'll have a chance to get called up to the majors at some point this season.
The Nationals acquired RHP Luis Perales from the Red Sox for LHP Jake Bennett.
Fantasy Impact
It is a trade of pitching prospects between Boston and Washington. Perales holds high upside with his velocity and movement on the mound. He'll have a chance to work his way into a role with a rebuilding Nationals pitching staff.
The Red Sox optioned Luis Perales (elbow) to minor league camp on Friday, per team reports.
Fantasy Impact
Perales, 21, is easing back from Tommy John surgery last June—he’s begun throwing but won’t see minor league game action until 2026. Fantasy managers in dynasty leagues might keep this young arm on the long-term radar; his recovery timeline rules him out for 2025 relevance.
Luis Perales is scheduled to undergo an MRI on Thursday.
Fantasy Impact
The Red Sox remain optimistic about the elbow of Perales.
The Red Sox promoted Luis Perales to Double-A Portland
Fantasy Impact
Perales had posted a 3.42 ERA over seven starts to begin the season. He remains one of the top pitching and overall prospects in the Red Sox farm system and will look to carry his success over into Double-A.
