Guardians re-signed LHP Steven Perez to a minor league contract.

The 24-year-old southpaw has spent the first seven seasons in his minor league career in the Guardians’ organization, and he’ll stay there for at least another year. In 2025 he registered a scintillating 1.83 ERA, 0.94 WHIP and a 70/20 K/BB ratio over 69 innings between High-A Lake County and Double-A Akron. Don’t be surprised if he winds up debuting with the Guardians at some point during the 2026 campaign.
