Eury Perez Could Rejoin Miami's Rotation Soon
Miami Marlins right-hander Eury Perez's (thigh) next start could be with the big-league starting rotation, manager Clayton McCullough told Christina De Nicola of MLB.com. The Marlins clearly liked what they saw out of Perez during his first minor-league rehab start on Thursday at Triple-A Jacksonville, when he gave up just one run while striking out five in 3 2/3 innings of work. The 23-year-old was sitting in the high-90s with his fastball during the outing. He threw only 51 pitches, though, so if the hard-throwing right-hander does make his next start in the big leagues, he'll have a lower fantasy ceiling. Perez could be lined up to make his next start against the Texas Rangers, a team that currently ranks 24th in baseball with a .700 OPS and 17th with 625 strikeouts on the season. The Dominican hurler has gone 3-6 for the Marlins in 2026 with a 4.60 ERA (4.66 FIP) and 1.26 WHIP with 72 strikeouts and 28 walks in 62 2/3 innings across his 12 starts in his third year in the league. Perez has been pretty inconsistent for fantasy managers, but he should be rostered in most leagues due to his 27.8% career strikeout rate.
