2025 Fantasy Outlook
Baltimore exercised Perez's $2.2 million club option for 2025 after a solid campaign in which the southpaw did not allow a home run. The 28-year-old racked up 23 holds (T-15th) for the Orioles as one of their top lefties out of the bullpen, though it's worth noting that Danny Coulombe missed a good chunk of the season and Gregory Soto was acquired via trade. Perez throws hard - he averaged 96.1 mph on his sinker last year - which helped limit the amount of hard contact he allowed (84th percentile hard-hit rate), but he continues to struggle with walks. With a 1.42 career WHIP, it's likely that he won't see many save chances for Baltimore. Read Past Outlooks

Outrighted to Triple-A
Perez was outrighted to Triple-A Norfolk on Saturday after clearing waivers, Francys Romero of BeisbolFR.com reports.
ANALYSIS
Perez was DFA'd by the Orioles last Saturday after logging an 8.31 ERA, 2.12 WHIP and 21:18 K:BB across 21.2 innings. He'll remain in the Orioles organization and report to Triple-A, where he'll look to regain his control and perform well enough to warrant a return to the majors.

Past Fantasy Outlooks
2023
2019
2017
After strugging to carve out a meaningful bullpen role with Houston or Cinncinati due to his perennially high walk (6.0 BB/9) and home run (2.0 HR/9) rates, Perez had the best season of his young career with the Orioles. The southpaw made the club out of spring training and got off to a hot start, permitting just one earned run over the first two months of 2022. He pitched a career-high 57.2 innings across 66 appearances, with both totals surpassing what he had accumulated over the past four seasons combined. Perez significantly improved his walk rate, but it was still below league-average at 9%. He averaged a career-best 97 mph on his fastball, but he didn't exactly blow hitters away (23.5% K-rate). His expected metrics suggest ratio regression is in store for 2023 and if the walks creep up again, his role as the O's top lefty setup man could be in jeopardy.

Latest Fantasy Rumors

Should remain with Baltimore
According to Roch Kubatko of MASNSports.com, Perez is expected to be retained by the Orioles for 2025.
ANALYSIS
The left-hander has a $2.2 million club option for 2025, but he could still remain with the Orioles through the arbitration process even if that option is declined. Perez tallied 23 holds in the 2024 regular season but saw his ERA rise nearly a full run to 4.53, though a 3.30 FIP indicates he may have deserved some better results.
