Michael Perez News
Pittsburgh Pirates catcher Michael Perez led the Pirates on offense on Sunday, going 2-for-4 with a home run, two RBI and a run scored in a 15-4 loss to the Phillies. It was Perez's seventh homer of the year and his second in his last seven games, as he's slashing .333/.357/.704 with four RBI and four runs scored in that span. He doesn't hold much value outside of deep NL-only formats or two-catcher leagues, as he's appeared in just 45 games while serving as the Pirates' backup catcher.
Pittsburgh Pirates catcher Michael Perez went a perfect 3-for-3 with a double, a home run, a walk and three RBI in a 6-2 win over the Twins on Saturday. Perez hasn't had much playing time serving as the backup to Jacob Stallings, as Saturday's performance increased his season line to .190/.320/.381. As long as he's backing up Stallings there won't be much value out of Perez, but if Stallings goes down with injury then he could be worth taking a casual look at in deeper NL-only formats.
Tampa Bay Rays catcher Michael Perez appeared to be in the lead for the backup catcher spot when spring training was canceled due to the coronavirus. He has better defensive skills than Chris Herrmann or Kevan Smith, and his left-handed bat is a better fit with right-handed hitting Mike Zunino. Perez was dedicated to winning the job and spent most of the winter working out in Tampa. The 27-year-old Puerto Rican has played in 46 major league games the last two years, hitting .258/.321/.367 with only one home run and 13 RBI in 120 at-bats for the Rays. Perez is a defense-first backstop, so he won't move the needle much in fantasy even if he's starting regularly if Zunino gets injured.
