Picks up first win Perez (1-0) earned the win over Washington on Thursday, pitching 6.2 innings and allowing two runs on six hits and two walks while striking out six batters.

Impact Perez was efficient in the outing, needing a modest 85 pitches to get through 6.2 frames. He induced just eight swinging strikes but was still able to notch six punchouts, and he picked up both his first win and his first quality start as a Pirate. Perez was ineffective last year with the Rangers, recording a 4.45 ERA, 1.30 WHIP and 5.9 K/9 over 141.2 innings. He's started off 2024 on a better foot, however, allowing just three runs through 11 frames despite an uninspiring 8:5 K:BB.

Used in relief Sunday Perez was credited with his second hold of the season in Sunday's 9-8 win over the Mariners after striking out a batter and allowing two earned runs on one hit and two walks over 1...

Impact After Perez delivered a 4.2-inning scoreless relief appearance back on Wednesday, manager Bruce Bochy told Jeff Wilson of RangersToday.com that the veteran southpaw might be a candidate to fill the vacant No. 5 spot in the rotation. The open spot in the rotation comes up Tuesday against the Angels, but after throwing 40 pitches in relief Sunday, Perez no longer looks like a realistic option to start for Texas. The Rangers could end up treating Tuesday's contest as more of a bullpen day, with the likes of Andrew Heaney, Jake Latz and Cody Bradford presumably available to cover multiple innings, if needed.

Could rejoin rotation Manager Bruce Bochy said it's "fair to say" Perez (10-4) may have worked his way back into the Rangers' starting rotation after the lefty allowed three hits and one walk with five...

Impact Wednesday's starter Jon Gray was unable to make it through three frames, but Perez pitched excellent in long relief and could make a start or two for Texas down the stretch with Max Scherzer (shoulder) sidelined. Perez initially struggled after being moved to the bullpen in early August, but he's surrendered just two earned runs with a 0.96 WHIP across his past 18.2 innings.

SEPTEMBER 20, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Snags win in relief Perez (9-4) earned the win Monday against the Mets. He struck out a pair in two scoreless innings.

Impact Perez had struggled mightily in his prior two appearances, allowing six runs on nine hits over 6.1 innings. He was sharp Monday, however, delivering two scoreless innings in relief of Jon Gray to earn his ninth win. Since moving to the bullpen earlier this month, Perez sports a 4.76 ERA across 11.1 innings. Overall, his ERA sits at 4.96 with a 1.49 WHIP and 75:44 K:BB across 119.2 innings this season. The 32-year-old southpaw should continue to work in a swing role for the Rangers down the stretch.

Makes first relief appearance Perez allowed one hit and struck out one over a scoreless inning of relief in Sunday's 6-0 win over Miami.

Impact This was Perez's first turn out of the bullpen after he was removed from the starting rotation in the wake of Texas' trade deadline acquisitions. He mopped up in the ninth inning, but the stretched out Perez could work as a long reliever when a starter is unable give the team length.

Martin Perez Done With Rangers? A demotion to the bullpen could mean the end for Martín Pérez in Arlington.

AUGUST 5, 2023 • KANSASCITY.COM

Rangers Demote Martin Perez To Bullpen As expected, Martin Perez has been pushed to the Texas Rangers bullpen after trade acquisitions.

AUGUST 3, 2023 • STAR-TELEGRAM.COM

Demoted to bullpen Perez was moved to the bullpen Thursday, Shawn McFarland of the Dallas Morning News reports.

Impact Perez is the odd man out in the Rangers' rotation after the club acquired both Max Scherzer and Jordan Montgomery ahead of Tuesday's trade deadline. The 32-year-old left-hander was excellent for Texas in 2022, even earning his first career All-Star nod, but he's struggled to a 4.98 ERA, 1.52 WHIP and 69:41 K:BB through 108.1 innings (20 starts) this season.

AUGUST 3, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Loses versus Padres Perez (8-4) allowed four runs on eight hits and three walks while striking out just one in 5.2 innings, taking the loss Saturday versus the Padres.

Impact Perez gave up all four runs in the second inning, and the Texas offense mustered just four hits and three walks in the game. It was the second outing in a row in which Perez gave up four runs in one frame, though he was able to overcome it last Sunday versus the Dodgers. The southpaw now has a 4.98 ERA, 1.51 WHIP and 69:41 K:BB through 108.1 innings over 20 starts this season. Perez is tentatively lined up for a home start versus the Marlins next weekend, but either he or Dane Dunning may be at risk of losing their spot in the rotation once the Rangers activate Max Scherzer and Nathan Eovaldi (elbow) shakes off his injury.

JULY 30, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Overcomes rough first inning Perez (8-3) earned the win Sunday over the Dodgers, allowing four runs on six hits and two walks while striking out six over six innings.

Impact Perez got off to a terrible start, allowing a grand slam to Max Muncy in the first inning. The veteran southpaw settled down after that, and the Rangers' offense took care of the rest to give Perez his first win of the month. He's now at a 4.91 ERA, 1.49 WHIP and 68:38 K:BB through 102.2 innings over 19 starts this season. Perez is lined up to make his next start on the road in San Diego.

JULY 23, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Shaky in no-decision Perez allowed three runs on five hits and four walks while striking out two over five innings in a no-decision versus the Guardians on Sunday.

Impact All three runs against Perez were knocked in by Steven Kwan. After a short outing versus Houston on July 3, Perez was skipped in the rotation before the All-Star break, and he was sloppy against a light-hitting lineup despite the extra time off. The southpaw now has a 4.84 ERA, 1.50 WHIP and 62:36 K:BB through 96.2 innings over 18 starts. Perez is lined up for a tough home start versus the Dodgers over the weekend.

JULY 17, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

To be skipped in rotation Perez's next turn in the rotation will be skipped, Evan Grant of The Dallas Morning News reports.

Impact Perez was originally lined up to start Saturday's game against the Nationals, but his next start will now have to wait until after the All-Star break. Cody Bradford will likely start Friday against Washington, pushing back Andrew Heaney into Saturday as Perez's replacement. Perez finishes the first half of the season with a 4.81 ERA and 1.48 WHIP through 91.2 innings.

JULY 6, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Short outing against Houston Perez did not factor into the decision Monday, allowing six runs on six hits and two walks without recording a strikeout over 1.1 innings in a 12-11 loss to the Astros.

Impact Perez needed 57 pitches to record just four outs Monday. He managed to work through traffic in the opening frame before the Astros cranked three home runs in the second inning, capped by Kyle Tucker's grand slam. The rough outing snapped a stretch of three consecutive quality starts for Perez. The veteran left-hander will look to get back on track in his next start, tentatively scheduled for this weekend in Washington.

JULY 3, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Posts quality start in no-decision Perez did not factor into the decision Tuesday, allowing two runs on four hits and two walks over six innings against the Tigers. He struck out four.

Impact The veteran left-hander delivered his third consecutive quality start but missed out on a victory since Texas didn't gain the lead for good until a five-run eighth inning. Perez surrendered seven runs in 3.1 frames in Tampa Bay on June 11, but he otherwise pitched well in across five starts in June and finished the month with a 3.99 ERA, 1.16 WHIP and 14:10 K:BB over 29.1 innings. A matchup with the Astros likely awaits this weekend.

JUNE 28, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Earns seventh win Perez (7-3) earned the win Wednesday over the White Sox. He allowed three runs (two earned) on four hits and two walks while striking out two over seven innings.

Impact Perez earned his fifth quality start in his last seven outings, though the two exceptions in that span have generally offset the positives. He snapped a four-start winless skid with this effort despite throwing just 59 of 100 pitches for strikes. Perez has walked multiple batters in five of his last six starts, and he hasn't struck out more than five in any of those games. For the season, he's at a 4.38 ERA, 1.45 WHIP and 56:28 K:BB through 84.1 innings over 15 starts. He's lined up for a home start versus the Tigers next week.
