Perez (5-6) took the loss Sunday against Arizona, allowing six runs on eight hits and two walks across 3.2 innings. He struck out three.

Perez's final start of the regular season was lackluster, as the left-hander yielded six runs -- the most he's allowed in a start with the Padres this year. The veteran lefty entered the start having allowed two runs in his previous three starts combined. Perez has a 4.53 ERA with a 107:49 K:BB across 135 innings in 2024.
