Eury Perez Pulled Early on Wednesday With Hamstring Issue
Miami Marlins right-hander Eury Perez (hamstring) was pulled from his start early on Wednesday against the Toronto Blue Jays at the Rogers Centre with a right-hamstring spasm, according to Christina De Nicola of MLB.com. Perez was pitching extremely well before exiting, throwing four scoreless innings with three hits allowed, no walks, and a season-high nine strikeouts. He hit 101 mph with his fastball and was having his best start of the year. Perez appeared to injure himself while stretching before going out for the fifth inning, and he looked to be in quite a bit of pain. Fantasy managers should consider him to be day-to-day until we know more, but we wouldn't be surprised if it turns into an injured-list situation. If Perez avoids a serious injury, he's scheduled to toe the rubber next against the division-rival Washington Nationals next Tuesday. The 23-year-old Dominican has electric stuff, but walks have been an issue, as he entered Wednesday's start with a career-high 11.2% walk rate. He also had a 3-6 record with a 4.91 ERA (5.00 FIP), 1.29 WHIP, and 63:28 K:BB in 58 2/3 frames over 11 starts.
