Perez allowed two earned runs on seven hits and two walks over 6.1 innings Thursday in a victory over San Diego. He struck out three and received a no-decision.
The 26-year-old southpaw put together a solid outing for the third quality start in his last four turns. Regardless, a lack of run support prevented him from notching his first win since April 9. Walks have been an issue so far this season, as Perez carries a 4.3 BB/9. Even with his recent successes, the overall body of work still makes it hard to recommend him even in deeper mixed leagues. He'll take the hill again Wednesday at home against Philadelphia.
