Martin Perez

Martin Perez struggled to contain the Angels, allowing four earned runs on eight hits while striking out five over five innings in Wednesday's 5-4 loss to the Angels.

Fantasy Impact

This performance slightly tarnished his otherwise solid season stats, nudging his ERA up to 3.60 and WHIP to 1.40. Despite not walking any batters, the volume of hits he allowed suggests that he might be finding too much of the strike zone. His season-long indicators, like a 3.52 FIP and a high .338 BABIP, hint that he's been somewhat unlucky, which could mean potential improvement. However, fantasy managers should be cautious, as his moderate strikeout rate of 7.2 K/9 limits his upside in categories that reward strikeouts.

Martin Perez allowed three earned runs on eight hits and zero walks while striking out four over 5 1/3 innings in Friday's 3-2 loss to the Rockies.

Fantasy Impact

Despite a decent ERA of 3.15 coming into the game, Perez's performance this season has been somewhat inconsistent, as evidenced by his 1.38 WHIP and a BABIP of .325, suggesting he's been somewhat unlucky with balls in play. His strikeout rate remains modest at 7.0 K/9, and his FIP at 3.48 indicates his ERA might be slightly flattering. Fantasy managers should view Perez as a risky play, depending on the matchup, as his limited strikeout ability caps his upside.

Martin Perez delivered a solid performance, tossing six scoreless innings, allowing just four hits and two walks while striking out four in Saturday's narrow 4-3 victory over the Giants.

Fantasy Impact

Despite his commendable outing, Perez did not factor into the decision, leaving his season record at an unchanged 1-1. His season ERA dipped to an impressive 2.86, complementing a slightly elevated WHIP of 1.36. While his strikeout numbers remain modest at 7.0 K/9, his ability to limit runs significantly boosts his fantasy value, especially in formats that reward ERA and WHIP. Perez's consistent performance, underscored by a solid 3.37 FIP, suggests he could be a reliable mid-rotation option for fantasy managers, though his low strikeout totals may limit his ceiling in strikeout-heavy leagues.

Martin Perez took the loss on Sunday against Boston allowing four runs on six hits across four innings with seven strikeouts and four walks.

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.
