Martin Perez to Start on Wednesday
Martin Perez will move into the team's starting rotation and toe the rubber on Wednesday versus the Atlanta Braves at Truist Park, according to Scott Merkin of MLB.com. Right-hander Aaron Civale will be pushed to Friday against the division-rival Minnesota Twins. Perez will take the rotation spot of right-hander Sean Burke, who was sent to Triple-A Charlotte on Monday. The matchup on Wednesday against Atlanta is a middling one for Perez, who has virtually no fantasy upside despite the move to a starting role. The 34-year-old veteran Venezuelan has made only five appearances (four starts) for the Pale Hose this year, and although he has a decent 3.09 ERA (3.59 FIP) and 1.29 WHIP, he's fanned only 22 and walked 13 in his 23 1/3 innings. Perez has a career 6.4 K/9 in 1,599 innings and is only worth a look in AL-only leagues.
