Martín Pérez

That means that the 35-year-old southpaw won’t be eligible to return until Game 3 of the NLDS at the earliest. Braves’ skipper Walt Weiss told reporters that realistically, he probably won’t be an option until the NLCS should the Braves advance there.

Pérez gave up six hits, walked two and struck out two. He had allowed two runs in 13 innings over his last two starts, but wasn’t quite as sharp against the Astros on Sunday. Pérez only allowed one run, but failed to complete five innings. He has a 3.04 ERA this year. Pérez is lined up to face the Marlins on the road next Saturday.

Pérez has only started one postseason game in his long career, giving up four runs over five innings for the Rangers in a loss to the Blue Jays in the 2015 ALDS. He might get another chance this October, though. First, he’s due at least one more regular-season start next week versus the Reds. He’s currently 9-9 with a 3.07 ERA.

Unfortunately for those streaming him, Nick Martinez matched Pérez scoreless inning for scoreless inning, leaving him with a no-decision. The Braves eventually scored in the eighth after the left-hander left. Pérez has a 2.62 ERA despite a 1.46 WHIP over his last seven starts spanning 34 1/3 innings. He’ll likely pitch in Wrigley next week in what looks to be a reasonable stream despite a good offense on the other side.

Pérez labored through a 35-pitch first inning, allowing two runs on four walks and one hit. He gave up a third run on a triple and a groundout in the second inning. Kyle Schwarber then took him deep for a solo homer in the fourth. Pérez recorded one more out and allowed back-to-back hits, ending his day with two outs in the inning at 84 pitches. The 35-year-old left-hander will take a 3.25 ERA, 1.27 WHIP, and a 94/54 K/BB ratio across 124 2/3 innings into a rematch against the Phillies in Atlanta on Friday.

The 35-year-old southpaw racked up six strikeouts on the night while issuing two free passes. He was locked in a scoreless battle until the sixth inning where Willi Castro delivered a two-out, RBI single that gave the Rockies the lead. Pérez got 14 swings and misses on 83 pitches on the night, registering a CSW of 30 percent. He now boasts a solid 3.05 ERA, 1.21 WHIP and a 91/50 K/BB ratio over 121 innings in 26 appearances (22 starts) on the season. He’ll do battle against the Phillies his next time out in Philadelphia on Saturday.

Pérez’s own error led to the three unearned runs in the third inning. It’s the second straight outing in which Pérez has allowed four runs after three straight scoreless starts to begin the month, and he’s now 8-8 with a 3.12 ERA. He’s due to pitch at home against the Rockies next weekend, making him a nice streaming option.

Pérez gave up nine hits, walked two and struck out three. He fell to 8-7 with the loss. This was a nightmare for Pérez. He allowed the first six batters in the first inning to reach and by that point it was 4-0 Twins before he settled in to get through five innings without further damage. He has a 3.15 ERA. Pérez is lined up to face the Brewers on the road this weekend.

Pérez scattered four hits, and he walked three with two strikeouts. Far from dominant, but still effective. Again. The 35-year-old hasn’t allowed a run in his last three outings, and his ERA is now an outstanding 2.96 on the season. He’ll have a chance to keep this good run going against the Twins next week.

The 35-year-old southpaw struck out three batters in the contest. He had thrown just 35 pitches through his three innings but had to get bumped from the game after an extensive rain delay. Pérez got five whiffs in the contest, posting a CSW of 29 percent. He now boasts a 3.14 ERA, 1.15 WHIP and a 78/40 K/BB ratio over 100 1/3 innings through his first 22 appearances (18 starts) on the season. He’ll square off against the Mets his next time out at home on Tuesday.

Pérez allowed one hit, walked two and struck out six. He improved to 7-6 with the win. Pérez didn’t allow a baserunner until the fourth inning and Brady House got the only hit against him with two outs in the sixth inning. The crafty left-hander lowered his ERA to 3.24. He’s lined up to face the Yankees on the road next weekend.

Pérez gave up eight hits, walked one and struck out four. The Mets ended up winning 14-3, but the fireworks didn’t start until after Perez was already out of the game. Pérez won four starts in a row from late May to early June, but has a 5.70 ERA and is 0-3 in five starts since then. He has a 3.49 ERA on the season. Pérez is lined up to face the Nationals at home on Saturday, though it’s possible Atlanta will acquire a starting pitcher before the trade deadline to bump him from the rotation.

The Braves were certainly motivated to not expose Pérez in this one. He only faced 16 total batters and thus, didn’t complete two full revolutions around the Padres’ lineup. Also, oddly, he threw a first-pitch strike to 12 of those 16 and still managed to walk four batters. This was his first start back off the injured list for a forearm contusion though. Despite a low 3.38 ERA, Pérez’s rotation spot is in jeopardy ahead of the trade deadline. If nothing changes over the next few days, Pérez is scheduled for a two-start week against the Mets and Nationals coming up.

This was reported last night and is now official. Pérez will start on Wednesday against the Padres, a team that has struggled against lefties so far this season. Still, we would avoid using Pérez in his first start off the IL unless you’re in a deep format.

Pérez will come off the injured list after missing just over two weeks with a forearm contusion. The well-traveled 35-year-old has compiled a respectable 3.54 ERA, 1.19 WHIP and 62/32 K/BB ratio across 81 1/3 innings this season.

Since the X-rays came back negative for Pérez, this feels like the Braves simply using the All-Star break to get their veteran some extra time to heal. We expect him to be back in the rotation after the break.

The 92-mph liner hit Pérez in the forearm. X-rays were negative, but manager Walt Weiss said after the game that he’d likely go on the injured list anyway, allowing the Braves to add an extra pitcher with no days off this week. Pérez took the loss, leaving him 6-6 with a 3.54 ERA.

Maybe he was under the weather or something, but Pérez’s velocity was down about two mph tonight. He’s averaged 89.4 mph with his sinker this season, but his hardest pitch tonight was just 88.7 mph and he averaged 87.5 mph. It likely played a role in him giving up two homers and striking out just one of the 23 batters he faced. Pérez is slated to make his next start Sunday against the Mets.

Pérez failed to complete five innings for the first time in 12 starts this year, and the Braves dropped to 7-5 in his starts. Still, absolutely no one is complaining about Pérez being 6-4 with a 3.00 ERA nearly halfway through the season. He’s due to face the Cardinals next week, though the Braves will have some options to line up things differently after off days Thursday and Monday.

In a matchup between two pitchers who could not be more diametrically different in terms of pitching style, Pérez outdueled Jacob Misiorowski here to earn the win. Whereas Misiorowski’s fastball averaged 102 mph, Pérez did not throw a single pitch harder than 90 mph. Instead, his changeup forced seven whiffs and he worked the edges of the zone beautifully with that, his sinker, and his cutter to keep the Brewers’ hitters off-balance all night. He now has a 2.78 ERA through 73 innings this season as a true savior to the Braves’ beleaguered rotation. Next up, Pérez is scheduled to face the Padres on the road.
