Martin Perez to Start on Wednesday
Chicago White Sox left-hander 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.
