Perez allowed just two runs on seven hits and a walk while striking out five batters during Saturday's win over Washington. He didn't factor into the decision.
The Nationals own a high-powered offense, so this was one of the better starts of the year for Perez. He sports an underwhelming 4.56 ERA, 1.63 WHIP and 6.7 K/9 for the season but has the potential to help as a streaming option or value play in daily contests against favorable opponents. The 26-year-old lefty projects to face the Mariners at home in his next start.
