Assigned minor-league option Perez will have a fourth minor-league option in 2021, C. Trent Rosecrans of The Athletic reports.

Impact Perez spent most of the 2020 season at the Astros' alternate training site, and an arbitrator ruled Wednesday that the southpaw will have an additional option with his new club in 2021. The decision will give the Reds more flexibility this year and makes it more likely that Perez will begin the season at Triple-A Louisville. Perez has made nine appearances (one start) this spring and has posted a 0.93 ERA and 1.35 WHIP over 9.2 innings.

Impact Perez allowed one run on three hits and one walk while striking out two over 1.1 innings Friday, and he'll return to alternate camp following the outing.
