Earns win Wednesday Perez (1-0) allowed a hit and a walk with one strikeout in two scoreless innings, earning the win Wednesday versus the Twins.

Impact Perez followed starter Kyle Bradish, who was limited to 70 pitches in four innings. Perez delivered the first two of five scoreless innings from the Orioles' bullpen to maintain the lead. The southpaw has yet to yield a run through 10 appearances this season, though he's also posted a 1.33 WHIP, 8:4 K:BB and two holds across nine innings.

Picks up second hold Perez allowed a hit and struck out one to earn a hold in Friday's 5-3 win over the Angels.

Impact Perez has two holds through six appearances this season. He's covered five innings without allowing a run -- he's only given up four hits with a 6:1 K:BB. The Orioles' bullpen began the season with few defined roles, which has allowed Perez to step up as a high-leverage arm early in the season, a role he'll likely maintain as long as he continues to produce positive results.

Finishes spring strong Perez allowed one walk in a scoreless inning in Tuesday's 2-1 loss to the Blue Jays.

Impact Perez wrapped up spring training in good form -- he pitched six scoreless innings with a 7:2 K:BB and three hits allowed in six appearances. The southpaw struggled to a 6.38 ERA, 1.71 WHIP and 25:20 K:BB in 24 innings with the Reds last season, but the Orioles clearly saw enough potential in him to claim him on waivers in November. Given the lack of proven relievers in Baltimore, Perez is likely to begin 2022 in a low-leverage role with the chance to seize more responsibility if he can keep his momentum going from the spring.

Wednesday's Transactions BASEBALL American league BALTIMORE ORIOLES — Claimed LHP Cionel Perez off waivers from Cincinnati.

NOVEMBER 24, 2021 • SANDIEGOUNIONTRIBUNE.COM

Scooped by O's The Orioles claimed Perez off waivers from the Reds on Wednesday.

Impact Perez, 25, will be moving on to the third organization of his professional career after stops with Houston and Cincinnati. After being acquired by the Reds last January, Perez split time between the big club and Triple-A Louisville in 2021, making 25 appearances out of the bullpen at the MLB level while posting a 6.38 ERA and a 25:20 K:BB over 24 innings. Trimming his 18 percent walk rate will be essential for Perez to find any success while he moves to Baltimore, but as a lefty with a live arm, he's an interesting flier for an Orioles squad short on relief talent.

Heads back to minors Perez was optioned to Triple-A Louisville on Tuesday.

Impact Perez's latest stint in the big-league bullpen lasted just three days. He looked good in both of his appearances, striking out three over a pair of scoreless innings without allowing a hit or walk, but the Reds elected to send him down to clear a roster spot for Tuesday's starter, Riley O'Brien.

Impact Perez threw 22 innings of relief for the Reds earlier in the season but didn't look particularly good, struggling to a 6.95 ERA, 1.86 WHIP and 22:20 K:BB. He'll replace Wade Miley, who landed on the injured list with a neck strain, though the Reds will likely call someone else up when it gets to Miley's turn in the rotation, as Perez has exclusively pitched out of the bullpen this season.

Earns win in extras Perez picked up the win Friday night, with the Reds scoring a run in the 10th inning after he got the last two outs in the ninth.

Impact Perez gives the Reds yet another high-velocity reliever, and he's throwing harder now than he did with the Astros by nearly two mph. He walked a batter on Friday night, and that's been the concern with him in the past - he walked six batters in 6.1 with Houston last year.

Akiyama, Gray among hurting Reds who will miss opening day

Spring training took its toll on some of the Cincinnati Reds and some players won't be ready for opening day

MARCH 30, 2021 • Associated Press

Secures bullpen spot The Reds informed Perez on Monday that he would be included in the club's Opening Day bullpen, Bobby Nightengale of The Cincinnati Enquirer reports.

Impact Acquired from the Astros earlier in the winter, Perez was able to push his way on to the Opening Day roster after striking out nine while giving up only two earned runs over 10.2 innings this spring. Though Perez had previously been developed as a starter while in the Houston organization, his smallish frame likely makes him a better fit in the bullpen. He's flashed some intriguing skills this spring, most notably touching 98 miles per hour with his fastball in his latest Cactus League outing Sunday. Expect him to work in the middle innings to begin the season.
