Martin Perez

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.

Perez departed in the fifth inning with two on base, both of which went on to score. He'll look to bounce back against the Giants in his next start.

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.

Martin Perez delivered an impressive outing, tossing eight innings of one-run ball, scattering six hits without issuing a walk, and striking out seven Tuesday against the Tigers.

This gem of a start lowered Perez's season ERA to an outstanding 1.89 while his WHIP slightly improved to 1.21. Perez's form at the start of the 2024 season is noteworthy.

Martin Perez pitched 6.2 innings, giving up two earned runs on six hits and six strikeouts to two walks helping the Pittsburgh Pirates to a 7-4 victory over the Washington Nationals.

Fantasy Impact

This performance not only secured his first win of the season but also the first quality start for Perez with the Pirates. Despite giving up only three earned runs in his first 11 innings, Perez has allowed 17 baserunners via hit or walk, leading to an unsightly 1.55 WHIP. He has shown fantasy relevance as recently as 2022 with the Texas Rangers, but his low strikeout-to-walk ratio and high hard-hit rate indicate some regression in run prevention is coming.
