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

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.

Miami Marlins right-hander Eury Perez (elbow) threw a bullpen session on Saturday and is set to throw another one in the next few days. Saturday was the first time that Perez threw off the mound since experiencing right-elbow inflammation during spring training. The 20-year-old threw all of his pitches during the 20-pitch session on Saturday and will continue to build up his arm before facing live hitters and eventually going on a minor-league rehab start. The Dominican hurler should be stashed in an injured list spot in all fantasy leagues after he went 5-6 with a 3.15 ERA and 1.13 WHIP with 108 strikeouts in 91 1/3 innings over 19 starts in 2023. The sky is the limit for Perez when he's healthy.

Miami Marlins starting pitcher Eury Perez (elbow) was recently placed on the 15-day injured list. Luckily, it sounds like the right-hander is making solid progress. On Friday, it was reported that Perez was throwing from 105 feet. It's good to see him getting in some action after going down with left elbow inflammation. He was able to mix in some breaking balls during his long toss session on Thursday. The team is likely going to take the cautious approach here, so fantasy managers might have to be patient. The organization should give an update on his timetable to return soon.
