Miami Marlins right-hander Eury Perez (1-2) dazzled in Thursday's 4-1 win over the Minnesota Twins. He allowed two baserunners while striking out seven over six dominant innings, picking up his first win of the season. It was his best start of the year and a strong rebound after tough outings versus Atlanta and Arizona. The 22-year-old flamethrower finally looked like the ace fantasy managers hoped for. He now owns a 4.50 ERA, 1.18 WHIP, and 21 strikeouts over 22 innings in 2025. While it's wise to tread lightly, Perez deserves a spot on your watch list and is only rostered in 34% of Yahoo Fantasy leagues. Perez's next start is scheduled to face the Cincinnati Reds on Tuesday. With another strong outing, he will become a must-add in standard leagues.

Miami Marlins starting pitcher Eury Perez (elbow) did not have the best results in his 2025 season debut, taking the loss in a 10-3 game against the Pirates. Perez pitched three innings, allowing four runs on four hits and two walks with five strikeouts on 70 pitches. The 22-year-old had Tommy John surgery on his right elbow in April of last year and hadn't appeared in an MLB regular-season game since September of 2023. While the box score wasn't great, it was encouraging to see Perez back on the mound for the Marlins topping out at 99.7 MPH. Perez looked great from a fantasy perspective in 2023 and had success in his minor-league rehab assignment this season, but fantasy managers will need to be patient as he gets back into the swing of things. His next scheduled start will be a decent matchup at the Nationals.

Miami Marlins manager Clayton McCullough confirmed that right-hander Eury Perez (elbow) will make his 2025 season debut and start on Monday in the series opener against the Pittsburgh Pirates at PNC Park. Perez had Tommy John surgery on his right elbow in April of last year and hasn't appeared in an MLB regular-season game since Sept. 20 of 2023. The 22-year-old showed his upside with a 3.15 ERA, 1.23 WHIP and 108:32 K:BB in 91 1/3 innings in his first 19 MLB starts in 2023 and looked great during his minor-league rehab start with a 1.99 ERA and 1.15 WHIP in 22 2/3 frames with Single-A Jupiter and Triple-A Jacksonville over eight start. Although Perez could certainly be rusty against big-league hitters upon his return, the upside is pretty tempting right away to use him in starting lineups on Monday in a great matchup against the Pirates.

Miami Marlins manager Clayton McCullough said that right-hander Eury Perez (elbow) will make his final minor-league rehab start on Tuesday with Triple-A Jacksonville and will be reinstated from the 60-day injured list after that, likely to make his 2025 debut in the series against the Pittsburgh Pirates that runs from June 9-11. Fantasy managers should run to the waiver wire and pick up Perez if he's available, even though the 22-year-old could be inconsistent in his return from Tommy John surgery in April of last year. In seven minor-league rehab starts, he posted a 1.96 ERA with an 11.3 K/9 and 3.4 BB/9 in 18 1/3 innings pitched. Perez went five inning (72 pitches and averaged 97.9 mph with his fastball in his most recent rehab start. He will take over the rotation spot of Max Meyer (hip), who went on the IL on Tuesday. Perez looked like a future fantasy ace in his debut season in 2023.UPDATE: Perez allowed a run in 4 1/3 innings while striking out four in his final rehab start for Jacksonville on Tuesday.

Miami Marlins right-hander Eury Perez (elbow) is scheduled to make his eighth (and likely his final) minor-league rehab start with Triple-A Jacksonville on Tuesday, FishOnFirst.com reports. Perez was lights-out in his last rehab start, going five innings, allowing one hit and one walk while striking out four. He'll likely look to push his pitch count up to the 75-85 range Tuesday, and if all goes well, it could be his final outing in the minors before making his return from the 60-day injured list. Perez has been sticking to a standard five-day rest schedule between his recent rehab starts, so if that pattern holds, it's possible he could make his 2025 Marlins debut in the three-game series with the Pittsburgh Pirates, which begins on June 9, and is a smash spot for fantasy managers. Perez is a must-add in all formats, as he is one of the more electric young arms in the league. In 2023, which was his first taste of MLB, he logged 91 innings with a 3.15 ERA, 10.64 K/9, and a 1.13 WHIP as a rookie.

Miami Marlins right-hander Eury Perez (elbow) will make his second minor-league rehab start at Triple-A Jacksonville on Wednesday, according to MLB.com's Christina De Nicola. In his first rehab start with Jacksonville last Wednesday, the 22-year-old gave up two runs on three hits while walking three and striking out seven in 3 1/3 innings. Before that in five rehab starts for Single-A Jupiter, Perez had a 1.80 ERA and 1.20 WHIP with 12 strikeouts and three walks in 10 innings. The Dominican hurler didn't pitch at all in 2024 after having Tommy John surgery, but barring a setback on his rehab assignment, he should make his 2025 debut with the Fish before the All-Star break in mid-July. Perez had 108 K's in 91 1/3 innings over his first 19 big-league starts in 2023, but fantasy managers might want to temper expectations upon his return, especially since the Marlins will likely have him on an inning limit.

Miami Marlins right-hander Eury Perez (elbow) made his first minor-league rehab start with Triple-A Jacksonville on Thursday and allowed two earned runs on three hits (one homer) while walking three and striking out seven in 3 1/3 innings in a no-decision against Triple-A Memphis. Perez, who is on the comeback trail from Tommy John surgery, moved up to Triple-A after posting a 2.70 ERA and 1.20 WHIP with 12 strikeouts and three walks in five rehab starts at Single-A Jupiter. The 22-year-old has looked good so far on his rehab assignment, but he'll still need at least a handful of more starts in the minors before he's an option to be activated from the 60-day injured list to make his 2025 debut. Perez will be a much more attractive fantasy option going into the 2026 season, but it's hard to ignore the Dominican's strong debut season in 2023, when he struck out 108 with a 3.15 ERA in his first 19 starts.

Miami Marlins right-hander Eury Perez (elbow) will move his minor-league rehab assignment from Single-A Jupiter to Triple-A Jacksonville and start on Thursday, according to MLB.com's Christina De Nicola. Perez, who is recovering from Tommy John surgery that wiped out his entire 2024 campaign, has made five rehab starts with Jupiter and has posted a 1.80 ERA and 1.20 WHIP with 12 strikeouts and three walks in 10 innings. The 22-year-old has looked good so far, but he threw only 49 pitches in four innings in his last rehab start with Jupiter, so he still has some more building up of his arm to do before the Marlins feel comfortable activating him from the 60-day IL for his 2025 debut. However, he could be back with the Fish in early June. The Dominican hurler looked strong in his first 19 big-league starts in 2023, but fantasy managers will want to temper expectations as he returns from TJ surgery.

Miami Marlins starting pitcher Eury Perez (elbow) tossed three scoreless innings in his fourth rehab start with Low-A Jupiter on Sunday. Perez allowed three hits and struck out five while walking none. He got up to 42 pitches in this one, which is his highest yet. The righty is expected to make around four more starts in the minors, likely in Triple-A, before returning to the bigs. His long-awaited return from Tommy John surgery is on the horizon, and fantasy managers should be stashing him now in anticipation. The 22-year-old showcased sky-high upside in his rookie campaign and has a chance to become a fantasy asset in the second half of this season. His next rehab start will likely come Friday or Saturday and could be in Triple-A.

Miami Marlins starting pitcher Eury Perez (elbow) is set to make another rehab outing with Low-A Jupiter on Tuesday. Perez is currently on the 60-day injured list and working his way back from Tommy John surgery. The team noted that the budding ace is scheduled to make at least eight rehab outings before being in contention to return to the big leagues. So far, the former top prospect has made two rehab outings with Low-A. Across two 2/3 innings of work, Perez has allowed just one hit and held a 4:1 K:BB. He has not allowed a run. The 22-year-old made his MLB debut during the 2023 campaign and flashed high upside as he held a 3.15 ERA with a 1.13 WHIP. He struck out 108 batters and generated an elite .208 xBA. He is worth monitoring as he could be a must-start option in the second half of the campaign.

Miami Marlins right-hander Eury Perez (elbow) will take the next step and start a minor-league rehab assignment on Saturday with Single-A Jupiter, where he's expected to throw one inning for the Hammerheads. Perez appears to be ahead of schedule in his rehab from Tommy John surgery in April of last year, but the Marlins are surely going to take things slow with his rehab assignment on the farm. Still, barring setbacks, the 22-year-old Dominican could make his 2025 season debut in late May or early June for the Fish. Perez turned heads in his major-league debut in 2023 when he went 5-6 with a 3.15 ERA (4.11 FIP) and 1.13 WHIP with 108 strikeouts and 31 walks in 91 1/3 innings over his first 19 starts. He'll probably be a much better fantasy investment next year, but he also shouldn't be ignored when he returns this year. However, he might be a little rusty, and the Marlins figure to limit his innings.

Miami Marlins right-hander Eury Perez (elbow) threw 45 pitches to live hitters on Monday and got up and down three times, according to manager Clayton McCullough. It's looking like Perez is around a month from potentially beginning a minor-league rehab assignment as he makes his way back from Tommy John surgery that he had in April of last year. If the 22-year-old can avoid any setbacks in his long recovery, he could be an option to make his 2025 season debut sometime in the middle of May. He still has a ways to go, but the Dominican hurler is an intriguing fantasy stash because of what he did in his rookie campaign in 2023. Perez posted a sharp 3.15 that year to go with a 1.13 WHIP, 108 strikeouts and 31 walks in just 91 1/3 innings in 19 starts. Given his lack of experience, expect the Marlins to treat him with kid gloves upon his return from TJ surgery.

Miami Marlins right-hander Eury Perez (elbow) threw a bullpen session before the team's game against the division-rival Atlanta Braves at Truist Park on Friday, according to MLB.com's Christina De Nicola. Back in Miami, pitchers Declan Cronin (hip) and Jesus Tinoco (back) also threw bullpens. Perez is working his way back from Tommy John surgery in April of last year. While it's good news that he's ramping up his arm, the 21-year-old isn't expected to be an option to make his 2025 season debut until around the All-Star break in the middle of July. The Dominican pitcher had all the makings of a future fantasy ace in his rookie season in 2023 when he went 5-6 with a 3.15 ERA (4.11 FIP) and 1.13 WHIP with 108 strikeouts and 31 walks in his first 19 starts over 91 1/3 innings pitched. There's a lot to like with the young hurler's profile, but fantasy managers need to remember that he's only 21 years old and might not be as sharp in the second half in 2025. He'll be a much better fantasy investment in single-year leagues in 2026.

Miami Marlins right-hander Eury Perez (elbow) will throw against live hitters on Tuesday, according to Fish On First's Kevin Barral. Perez had previously been limited to throwing bullpen sessions as he continues his recovery from Tommy John surgery in April of 2024. The 21-year-old is making a big step as he advances to throwing to live hitters, but he still has a ways to go before making his 2025 debut and isn't expected to return to Miami's starting rotation until around the All-Star break in mid-July. The Marlins will continue to take it slow in his recovery from elbow reconstruction. The Dominican hurler should have a full workload eventually down the stretch in 2025 when he returns, but fantasy managers still may want to temper their expectations despite the fact that Perez showed ace potential in 2023. His upside makes him worth stashing in deep-mixed and NL-only leagues, though.

The Miami Marlins placed right-hander Eury Perez (elbow) on the 60-day injured list on Thursday and also claimed right-hander Seth Martinez off waivers from the Arizona Diamondbacks in a corresponding move. The move to send Perez to the 60-day IL opens a 40-man roster spot for Martinez. The 21-year-old Perez is currently rehabbing from Tommy John surgery. He has been throwing off a mound in camp, but the Marlins aren't going to rush him back. Perez will be eligible to come off the IL in late May, but the expectation is that he will miss at least half of the 2025 season. Martinez, 30, was recently cut by the Arizona Diamondbacks and will now latch on with the Fish after posting a 3.59 ERA and 1.27 WHIP with 36 strikeouts and 18 walks in 52 2/3 innings with the Houston Astros in 2024. Even if he wins a bullpen spot with Miami out of spring training, he can be avoided in fantasy.

According to Christina De Nicola of MLB.com, Miami Marlins starting pitcher Eury Perez (elbow) has been throwing bullpens and remains on track for a midseason return. The young right-hander says he feels "very good" and is at about "75 percent" regarding his recovery process. The former top prospect underwent Tommy John surgery last April. Perez noted he is throwing a lot of fastballs and has begun mixing in some changeups. Fantasy managers should continue monitoring his status, but the 21-year-old is on track to make a significant impact during the 2025 campaign. He was unable to pitch at all during the 2024 season but flashed high upside during his debut season in 2023. As a rookie, Perez logged 91 1/3 innings to the tune of a 3.15 ERA with a 1.13 WHIP. He struck out 108 batters and generated whiffs at an elite 33.7 percent rate. While sidelined, Adam Mazur and Valente Bellozo will have opportunities to pitch in the rotation.

According to the Miami Herald's Barry Jackson, Miami Marlins right-hander Eury Perez (elbow) is hoping to be back with the team by the All-Star break after recovering from Tommy John surgery that he had last April. Perez didn't pitch at all for the Fish in 2024 but displayed considerable upside in 2023 in his rookie season, going 5-6 with a 3.15 ERA (4.11 FIP), 1.13 WHIP and 108:31 K:BB in 91 1/3 innings pitched over 19 starts. The 21-year-old Dominican hurler has a bright future in the big leagues, and the Marlins will likely want to build around him for years to come, so expect him to be on a strict innings limit later in 2025 when he returns from Tommy John surgery. Because Perez will miss at least half of this season, fantasy managers in shallow-mixed leagues can probably avoid him in upcoming drafts.

Miami Marlins right-hander Eury Perez (elbow) threw light toss on flat ground on Tuesday. It marks Perez's first throwing session since he had Tommy John surgery on his right elbow last April. The Fish are going to take it slow with the 21-year-old Dominican after he missed all of last season, but it's a good sign early in 2025. Even if he does not encounter any setbacks during his rehab, fantasy managers shouldn't expect Perez to contribute to Miami's starting rotation until at least the second half of the season. In his first MLB season in 2023, Perez made 19 starts (91 1/3 innings) and went 5-6 with a nice 3.15 ERA (4.11 FIP), a 1.13 WHIP and a 108:31 K:BB. When Perez does return later on in 2025, fantasy managers should also temper expectations. However, he proved in 2023 that he has the potential to be a fantasy ace.

Miami Marlins right-hander Eury Perez (elbow), who is working on total-body strengthening after suffering a UCL tear in his right arm, will be evaluated for a throwing program in the coming weeks. Perez started the 2024 season on the injured list and had Tommy John surgery on April 8 after experiencing tightness in his right arm during his bullpen session on April 2. He was moved to the 60-day IL on April 4 and is obviously missing the entire season. Even if the 21-year-old's rehab this winter goes off without a hitch, fantasy managers shouldn't be expecting him to be ready for the start of the 2025 campaign. The Dominican was extremely impressive in his MLB debut last year, though, posting a 3.15 ERA (4.11 FIP) and 1.13 WHIP with 108 punchouts in 91 1/3 innings over 19 starts. When he returns in 2025, expect the Fish to carefully monitor his workload.

The Miami Marlins announced on Thursday that right-hander Eury Perez (elbow) will undergo Tommy John surgery and will miss the rest of the 2024 season. Not only have the Marlins become the first team in MLB history to start a season 0-7 a year after making the playoffs, but now they'll be without their two best pitchers in Perez and Sandy Alcantara (elbow) for all of 2024. The 20-year-old Perez was diagnosed with right-elbow inflammation during spring training and opened the year on the injured list, but now he won't be available to the Fish or fantasy managers for all of this year and the start of 2025. You can now safely drop him in single-year fantasy leagues, but the impressive young hurler needs to remain stashed in all dynasty/keeper formats.
