Eury Pérez DVOA, Advanced Stats, & Fantasy Rankings

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.
