Picks up first save Perez earned the save, allowing a walk and a hit in the ninth inning of a 10-7 win Sunday in Kansas City.

Impact Perez wasn't at his best, throwing only 12 of his 23 pitches for strikes, but got the job done to record his first big-league save. Jorge Lopez had pitched in consecutive games so Perez got the opportunity to close it out in a three-run game. Despite his 1.36 WHIP, the lefty has limited runs and has a 0.98 ERA in 18.1 innings.

Picks up win Wednesday Perez (4-0) allowed a hit and struck out one over 1.1 scoreless innings, earning the win Wednesday over the Mariners.

Impact Starter Kyle Bradish couldn't complete five innings, so Perez entered the game and got credit for the win. The 26-year-old reliever has earned all four of his wins and two of his four holds in his last 10 outings, and he hasn't allowed any runs in his last seven games. Overall, the southpaw has a 0.55 ERA, 1.35 WHIP and 17:7 K:BB across 16.1 innings.

Snags third win Perez (3-0) retired the only batter he faced to earn the win in Friday's game versus the Red Sox.

Impact Perez got the last out in the eighth inning to keep the game tied at 8-8, and the Orioles' offense tacked on four runs in the ninth to earn the win. The southpaw needed just one pitch to get Christian Arroyo to pop out. Perez has been effective while seeing a little high-leverage work this year, posting a 0.64 ERA, 1.43 WHIP and 15:7 K:BB across 14 innings. He's added three holds, though his 3.64 FIP and .364 BABIP suggest regression could be on the horizon since he's been fairly fortunate in 2022.

Snags win in extras Perez (2-0) earned the win Sunday versus the Rays. He allowed a hit and two walks while striking out three in two scoreless innings.

Impact Perez worked the 10th and 11th innings after a rain delay, and he was able to keep the Rays at bay long enough for the Orioles to get the win. Through eight appearances in May, the southpaw has allowed just one run in 7.2 innings. He owns a 0.66 ERA, 1.46 WHIP and 15:7 K:BB with three holds in 16 outings overall. His solid pitching, albeit somewhat lucky, has earned him a high-leverage relief role.

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.

APRIL 23, 2022 • ROTOWIRE

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.
