Snags win Friday
Perez (1-0) pitched a perfect inning with one strikeout to earn the win Friday over the Rays.
ANALYSIS
Perez kept the deficit from growing beyond 1-0, and the Orioles rallied in the bottom of the sixth inning to give him the win. He hasn't earned a hold in any of his last eight appearances, but he has a save and a win in that span. The southpaw isn't a usual part of the high-leverage mix, but he's filled in there on occasion in 2024. He's at a 4.61 ERA, 1.24 WHIP and 12:6 K:BB through 13.2 innings as a middle reliever this season.

Latest Fantasy Rumors
Bullpen spot likely safe for now
According to Dan Connolly of The Athletic, Perez's place is Baltimore's bullpen is likely secure since he's out of minor-league options.
ANALYSIS
The left-hander was a high-leverage piece for the Orioles last season with 24 holds and just nine runs allowed in 66 appearances, but he's struggled to a 4.87 ERA, 2.07 WHIP and 14:11 K:BB through the first two months of 2023. Perez could be on shaky ground if his troubles persist throughout June, but for now the Orioles are likely to continue giving him chances to right the ship.

Past Fantasy Outlooks
2023
2019
2017
After strugging to carve out a meaningful bullpen role with Houston or Cinncinati due to his perennially high walk (6.0 BB/9) and home run (2.0 HR/9) rates, Perez had the best season of his young career with the Orioles. The southpaw made the club out of spring training and got off to a hot start, permitting just one earned run over the first two months of 2022. He pitched a career-high 57.2 innings across 66 appearances, with both totals surpassing what he had accumulated over the past four seasons combined. Perez significantly improved his walk rate, but it was still below league-average at 9%. He averaged a career-best 97 mph on his fastball, but he didn't exactly blow hitters away (23.5% K-rate). His expected metrics suggest ratio regression is in store for 2023 and if the walks creep up again, his role as the O's top lefty setup man could be in jeopardy.
