Martin Perez allowed three earned runs on three hits and two walks while striking out five over five innings in Friday's 6-3 win over the Pirates.
Fantasy Impact
Perez picked up a win Friday, improving his record to 4-3 for the year alongside a nice 3.02 ERA and 1.06 WHIP. He survived a three-run third inning, sandwiching it between four scoreless frames, and the Braves' offense was able to bail Perez out. He should return to the mound Thursday against the White Sox.
Martin Perez allowed two runs on four hits and three walks while striking out two over five innings in Saturday's 5-2 win over the Reds.

The veteran lefty has given up just three runs over 10 2/3 innings between his last two outings, and he will look to stay in rhythm Friday against the Pirates.

The veteran lefty dropped his season ERA to 2.70 with this effort, and he figures to remain in the Braves' rotation for a while. Perez sports a nice 1.03 WHIP and has posted a 40-15 K/BB ratio across 46 2/3 innings so far this year.
Martin Perez gave up four runs on five hits and two walks while racking up 10 strikeouts over five innings in Tuesday's 8-4 win over the Marlins.
Fantasy Impact
After making his previous two appearances out of the Braves' bullpen, Perez started for the first time in nearly two weeks on Tuesday. The veteran southpaw might have been shaking a bit of rust off in a three-run first frame, but he locked in over the following four innings, surrendering just one additional run and keeping the Braves in the game. The 10 punchouts marked a new career high for Perez, and he only needed 78 pitches to accomplish the feat. The 35-year-old is now sporting a 2.85 ERA and 1.00 WHIP through 10 games (six starts) on the season.
