Eury Pérez's Stats, Metrics, Game Logs, Projections & Rankings

Miami Marlins right-hander Eury Perez (elbow) will start the 2024 regular season on the 15-day injured list after being diagnosed with right-elbow inflammation. In addition to his elbow injury, Perez dealt with a fingernail issue in spring training. All in all, fantasy managers who are counting on the young 20-year-old to contribute to their rotation in 2024 have to be happy that he avoided any structural damage in his arm and won't need surgery. But Perez is going to miss at least the first couple weeks of the season and might not make his season debut until late April or early May. The Dominican hurler is one of the most impressive young arms in baseball after he posted a 3.15 ERA and 1.13 WHIP with 108 strikeouts in 19 starts after making his MLB debut in 2023, but his elbow injury has made him more of a No. 3/4 fantasy starter entering 2024.

The Miami Marlins announced starting pitcherEury Perez (elbow) is set to undergo imaging and testing on his throwing elbow in the coming days. Perez was pulled from his start Wednesday after experiencing discomfort from a broken fingernail. He started to experience elbow discomfort on Thursday. Part of the 20-year-old's diagnostic process will be to meet with orthopedic surgeon Dr. Keith Meister in Texas. Perez was set to be a vital part of the Marlins' rotation, projected for 161 strikeouts, a 3.13 ERA, and a 1.17 WHIP. After a promising 2023, Perez and the Marlins will certainly be hopeful that testing and imaging will reveal as little damage as possible as Miami's current rotation is decimated. Fantasy managers will have to wait for the imaging results on Perez's sore elbow. The injury jeopardizes his status for Opening Day, and he could miss the start of the season.

Miami Marlins right-hander Eury Perez (finger) won't throw for three to four days after experiencing fingernail/blister issues with his right-middle finger. The youngster left his most recent start after just 14 pitches due to the finger issue. The 20-year-old was fantastic in his big-league debut in the 2023 season, posting a 3.15 ERA alongside a dynamite 20.4% K-BB% across 19 starts and 91 1/3 innings with the Marlins. He also worked to a 3.19 ERA and a monstrous 31% K-BB% in eight starts at Double-A. The Fish were careful with their prized, young righty in terms of his workload last season, but he should be in for a notable increase in innings in the 2024 season, barring further injury woes. This issue doesn't appear to be serious but is something prospective fantasy managers will want to keep an eye on prior to draft day.

Miami Marlins right-hander Eury Perez (finger) left his Grapefruit League start early on Wednesday after only 14 pitches due to what appeared to be a fingernail/blister issue. Perez has been dealing with a right middle-finger issue this spring, and the issue apparently cropped up again on Wednesday. The 20-year-old isn't dealing with any kind of serious arm injury, which is good, but this is still something that fantasy managers shouldn't completely ignore when considering Perez for as a No. 2 starter in upcoming drafts. Perez was electric after being called up to the big leagues last year. He wasn't so good after a midseason break to conserve his innings, but if healthy, Perez has high-end fantasy appeal for the long term with his fastball-slider-curveball-changeup mix.

Miami Marlins right-hander Eury Perez (finger) left his Grapefruit League game against the New York Mets early with a broken fingernail on his right middle finger. The Marlins training staff came out to check on the youngster with one out in the third inning before he left the contest. Thankfully, Perez said he is in no pain and has no concerns in regards to his injury. He went 2 1/3 innings while allowing zero earned runs with one walk against two strikeouts across 36 pitches, 22 of which were strikes. The 20-year-old made his big-league debut in the 2023 season, working to a 3.15 ERA and a healthy 20.6% K-BB% across 19 starts. The club was cautious with his usage a season ago but is projected for 25 starts of 3.88 ERA ball by ATC in the 2024 campaign.
