Rest-of-Season Projections
2025 Fantasy Outlook
Perez split time between Pittsburgh and San Diego last season, totaling 135 innings over 26 outings. He was much better after joining the Padres at the trade deadline, posting a 3.46 ERA, 1.21 WHIP and 44:17 K:BB across 52 frames over 10 starts. However, his 4.82 FIP was only slightly better than the 4.95 mark he recorded in 16 starts with Pittsburgh, and Perez's Statcast metrics are mostly icy blue. It's hard to get excited about an aging hurler whose average fastball velocity (90.8 mph) and strikeout rate (18.1 percent) both rank near the bottom 10th percentile leaguewide. Perez has two positive things going for him -- he's a lefty and is usually pretty good at inducing groundballs -- but those assets shouldn't lead fantasy mangers to draft him in 2025 outside the deepest of leagues.

Outdueled in return to rotation
Perez (1-3) took the loss Wednesday as the White Sox were downed 1-0 by Atlanta, allowing an unearned run on three hits over 5.1 innings. He struck out five without walking a batter.
Analysis
Making his first big-league start since April 18, Perez kept the opposition off balance over 74 pitches (49 strikes), but a Colson Montgomery error in the fourth inning let Marcell Ozuna come home with the game's only run. The veteran southpaw could stick in the rotation for the rest of the season with Sean Burke and Jonathan Cannon both looking to get straightened out at Triple-A, and over 28.2 innings for the White Sox in 2025, Perez has delivered a 2.51 ERA, 1.15 WHIP and 27:13 K:BB. He'll look for his first win since March 31 in his next outing, which lines up to come at home early next week against the Royals.

Good for Martin Perez. After a decade of serving batting practice in big-league games, Perez put together a career year in 2022 to secure $19.65 million from the Rangers in the form of the qualifying offer. He cut his home-run rate dramatically and with that trimmed his ERA to 2.89, ranking 14th among qualified starters. The lefty did not point to any one reason for his shocking turnaround but said instead it was simply a matter of maturity and growth on the pitching mound. History screams regression though the estimators paint his performance last season in a generally favorable light. The one thing Perez has provided consistently throughout his career is the ability to eat innings and that volume alone provides a good deal of value in certain points formats. In leagues where you need to protect ratios, invest at your own risk.

Latest Fantasy Rumors

Reunion with Rangers?
Perez could be a free-agent target for the Rangers, reports Shawn McFarland of The Dallas Morning News.
Analysis
The veteran left-hander split 2024 between the Padres and Pirates after spending the previous two seasons with the Rangers. He made 26 starts during the regular season this year and had a 4.53 ERA, 1.48 WHIP and 107:49 K:BB across 135 innings, so he should be affordable as Texas looks to limit its costs. It would be Perez's third stint with the Rangers, as he also spent his first seven MLB seasons with the club.
