Miami Marlins pitcher Eury Perez is being recalled from Double-A by the Marlins to make his major-league debut against the Reds Friday. The 20-year-old will make the jump straight into the big leagues without any Triple-A experience. Perez has a strong 2.32 ERA with a dominant 42:9 K:BB ratio across 31 minor-league innings this year. The 6-foot-8 right-hander ranks as Miami's top-overall prospect and signifies a no-brainer add across all formats for his exciting upside. He has a plus draw against the unimpressive Reds lineup at home for his highly-anticipated debut Friday.
Miami Marlins top prospect Eury Perez tossed six innings of one-run ball for Double-A Pensacola on Wednesday. The performance lowers his ERA to 2.70, including a 0.90 WHIP and 9.9 strikeouts per nine innings for the season. Only having just turned 20 years old, the hype surrounding Perez has grown substantially. His fastball reaches triple digits and is paired with a 70-grade changeup, 60-grade slider, and 60-grade command. Perez carries legitimate ace potential. He's young, but the polish is already on full display. Perez has an opportunity to crack the MLB roster sometime in 2023. He should already be stashed in deeper fantasy leagues.
The Miami Marlins reassigned pitching prospect Eury Perez to minor-league camp on Monday, in addition to catcher Paul McIntosh, infielder Alex De Goti and left-hander Enmanuel De Jesus. The Marlins also optioned left-hander Josh Simpson, first baseman/outfielder Jerar Encarnacion and right-hander Eli Villalobos to Triple-A. Perez is the team's top prospect, per MLB Pipeline, but the 19-year-old right-hander will begin the 2023 season on the farm. He struggled in spring action by allowing nine earned runs in just 10 2/3 innings, but he might not be far away from making him major-league debut, perhaps later this year. Fantasy managers in dynasty/keeper leagues should already know his name.
Miami Marlins right-handed pitching prospect Eury Perez (arm) has been placed on the seven-day injured list in the minor leagues with arm fatigue. The 19-year-old allowed 13 earned runs in his last three outings for Double-A Pensacola over 11 innings, with his arm fatigue likely contributing to those ugly results. The Marlins' No. 1 prospect, per MLB Pipeline, has a 4.19 ERA, 1.14 WHIP, 102 strikeouts and 21 walks in 73 innings over 16 starts at Pensacola this year. The 6-foot-8 youngster projects to continue increasing the velocity on his fastball because of his extra-long, super-lean frame. There isn't a timetable for his return from the seven-day injured list, but the Marlins will surely be cautious with their top prospect.
Miami Marlins pitching prospect Eury Perez threw his first quality start of the season on Wednesday for Double-A Pensacola. The right-hander went six innings and allowed three hits, zero runs, one walk and struck out five on the evening to improve to 2-1. Perez is a big presence at 6'8 and has shown plenty of improved velocity on his fastball over his young career with the Marlins. The Marlins have plenty of arms at both the big-league level and throughout the farm system, but some scouts have predicted Perez to have the most success of their minor league arms. Perez, 19, still has some seasoning to work on, but it he has risen through the system quickly and could enter the rotation by 2023. For the season, Perez has a 3.71 ERA to go along with 50 strikeouts in 34 innings. Dynasty managers should start monitoring Perez.
Miami Marlins starting pitching prospect Eury Perez was dominant on April 29. Through five innings of work, he was responsible for a whopping 12 strikeouts, just one hit, and zero walks. It was a clutch performance after he had allowed 12 runs over 12 innings to open the season. Although one strong start isn't enough to reverse his earlier woes, last Thursday's dominant effort shows that he has what it takes to deliver high-quality outings. Perez ranks fourth among MLB Pipeline's top Marlins prospects. The right-hander signed an international contract in 2019 and spent last season between Single- and High-A. The 19-year-old boasts a mid-90s fastball that tops out at 98 mph, as well as a deceiving mid-80s changeup and a mid-70s fastball that he consistently locates in the strike zone.
