Fantasy Impact: Perez was designated for assignment following this past Saturday's start against the Guardians. The veteran lefty has pitched fairly well in three appearances (two starts) for the Braves, managing a 3.14 ERA and 0.91 WHIP across 14 1/3 innings. Perez will now try to catch on somewhere with a new contract.
