Luis Perales Assigned To Minor-League Camp
The Boston Red Sox have assigned right-handed pitching prospect Luis Perales (elbow) to minor-league camp. The 21-year-old is still recovering from the Tommy John surgery he underwent last June. Fantasy managers should not expect him to be available to pitch in a minor-league game this season. Before the surgery, Perales spent most of the season at High-A and received a brief look at Double-A. In 22 1/3 innings at High-A, Perales held a 3.63 ERA with a 1.45 WHIP. He tallied an impressive 38 strikeouts with just nine free passes. During his brief seven 1/3-inning taste of Double-A, Perales allowed just one earned run and tallied 10 strikeouts. When he is cleared to return, fantasy managers should expect him to return to Double-A and could push for a late 2026 MLB debut given the strikeout upside he showed at the lower levels of the minor leagues.
