Martin Perez delivered a strong performance, allowing just one earned run on two hits and three walks while striking out six over 5 1/3 innings in Saturday's 6-2 win against the White Sox.
Fantasy Impact
This outing was a refreshing display of efficiency from Perez, who has struggled with a slightly elevated ERA and WHIP throughout the season. His ability to limit hits and rack up strikeouts in this game could hint at a potential upswing as he tries to improve his 4.25 ERA and 1.45 WHIP. However, fantasy managers should remain cautious, as his season-long metrics like a 7.1 K/9 and a 4.94 FIP suggest that inconsistency may still be an issue. This performance, though positive, should be viewed as a step in the right direction rather than a complete turnaround.

Martin Perez delivered a strong performance pitching 6.1 innings, allowing zero earned runs on five hits and one walk while striking out five in Thursday's 4-3 loss to the Tigers.
Fantasy Impact
Despite the solid outing, Perez's season has been less than stellar, marked by a 4.46 ERA and a 1.50 WHIP over 23 starts. His performance against Detroit showcased his potential to deliver quality starts, yet his season-long inconsistencies and high WHIP continue to make him a risky play in fantasy lineups. Fantasy managers should view him as a matchup-dependent option, considering his struggles with maintaining a lower ERA and WHIP throughout the season.
Martin Perez had a rough outing in Friday's 13-5 victory over the Rays.
Fantasy Impact
He allowed four earned runs on seven hits and three walks while striking out four over five innings. Despite the win, Perez's performance was less than stellar, continuing a concerning trend seen throughout the season. With a ballooning ERA of 4.71 and a WHIP of 1.53, his reliability as a fantasy starter is increasingly questionable. Fantasy managers should be wary of his high ERA and WHIP, which suggest potential for more disappointing outings, despite his ability to secure occasional wins. His strikeout rate remains mediocre, further limiting his appeal in leagues that reward high strikeout totals.
