Out with strained forearm The Mets placed Perez on the 15-day injured list Friday with a left forearm strain.

Impact Perez has tossed 5.2 scoreless frames with a 9:0 K:BB over his last five appearances but will now be shelved for at least the next couple weeks. The Mets have added Jonathan Pintaro and Xzavion Curry to their bullpen.

Serving as opener Tuesday Perez will serve as the Mets' opening pitcher Tuesday against the Royals.

Impact After recording four outs in a 16-pitch appearance in Monday's 7-6 win, Perez will likely be capped at an inning or two in his start before turning the game over to the bullpen. Kodai Senga will be available on three days' rest and could be a candidate to cover multiple innings in long relief once Perez exits the game.

Kyle Schwarber sets Phillies record with MLB-best 30th homer in 5-4 win over Mets

Kyle Schwarber became the first major leaguer to reach 30 homers this season with a two-run shot in the seventh inning that sent the Philadelphia Phillies to a 5-4 win over the New...

Working as opener Sunday Perez will start Sunday's contest against Philadelphia, Max Goodman of NJ.com reports.

Impact Perez began the campaign with Washington before joining the Mets on a minor-league deal in early May. The lefty hurler was brought up to the big-league club May 30 and has appeared in 10 contests, posting a 3.68 ERA, 1.02 WHIP and 14:1 K:BB over 14.2 innings. Perez hasn't tossed more than 32 pitches in an outing this season, so he presumably won't go very deep Sunday. It's unclear who will follow Perez on the mound, and New York may opt for a bullpen game rather than deploying a bulk reliever.

Selected from Triple-A The Mets selected Perez's contract from Triple-A Syracuse on Saturday.

Impact Perez joined the Mets on a minor-league deal May 6 and has since given up two earned runs in seven innings at Triple-A Syracuse while striking out 10 batters and walking five. He'll now return to the majors to replace Tobias Myers in the Mets' bullpen and likely work in low-leverage situations to begin with. Anderson Severino was designated for assignment to make room for Perez on the 40-man roster.

MAY 30 • ROTOWIRE

Joins Mets on MiLB deal Perez agreed to a minor-league contract with the Mets on Wednesday, Francys Romero of BeisbolFR.com reports.

Impact Perez secured a spot on the Nationals' Opening Day roster coming out of spring training but was dropped from the 40-man roster last week after submitting a 6.19 ERA, 1.69 WHIP and 9:11 K:BB in 16 innings. After clearing waivers, Perez elected to become a free agent and was able to quickly catch on with a new organization. Perez is expected to report to Triple-A Syracuse and will likely need to show improved control before he receives a look in the New York bullpen.

MAY 6 • ROTOWIRE

Elects free agency Perez elected to become a free agent Monday.

Impact Perez passed through waivers unclaimed after being removed from the Nationals' 40-man roster. Rather than accept an outright assignment, he's exercised his right to free agency. Perez holds a 6.19 ERA and 9:11 K:BB over 16 innings at the big-league level in 2026.

MAY 4 • ROTOWIRE

Outrighted to Triple-A Perez cleared waivers and was assigned outright to Triple-A Rochester on Saturday.

Impact Perez was designated for assignment by the Nationals following Saturday's outing against the Brewers, when he allowed two hits across two scoreless innings. He has a shaky 6.19 ERA and 1.69 WHIP across 16 innings this season and will look to get his command and control in order in Triple-A. Orlando Ribalta was recalled by the Nationals from Rochester in a corresponding move.
