Perez elected free agency Tuesday, Francys Romero of BeisbolFR.com reports. Perez took a major step back in 2025, posting an 8.31 ERA and 2.12 WHIP across 21.2 innings with the Orioles, leading to his removal from the 40-man roster in late May. His performance didn't improve much after he moved to Triple-A (6.85 ERA, 2.22 WHIP, 22.1 IP), so he'll likely have to settle for a minor-league deal in free agency.

Perez was outrighted to Triple-A Norfolk on Saturday after clearing waivers, Francys Romero of BeisbolFR.com reports. Perez was DFA'd by the Orioles last Saturday after logging an 8.31 ERA, 2.12 WHIP and 21:18 K:BB across 21.2 innings. He'll remain in the Orioles organization and report to Triple-A, where he'll look to regain his control and perform well enough to warrant a return to the majors.

The Orioles designated Perez for assignment Saturday. Perez will exit the 40-man roster after posting an 8.31 ERA, 2.12 WHIP and 21:18 K:BB across 21.2 innings this season. The move makes room in the Orioles' bullpen for Yaramil Hiraldo, whose contract was selected from Triple-A Norfolk by Baltimore on Saturday.

The Orioles exercised Perez's $2.2 million club option for 2025 on Monday, Francys Romero of BeisbolFR.com reports. Perez, 28, held a 4.53 ERA and 46:28 K:BB over 53.2 innings for the Orioles this season. He posted a 53.5 percent ground ball rate and didn't surrender a single home run over his 62 appearances.

Perez (2-0) hit one batter but did not allow a hit or a walk over a scoreless inning to earn the win Sunday over the Padres. The Orioles never trailed Sunday, but starter Albert Suarez came up one out short of qualifying for the win. Jacob Webb also struggled in his relief appearance, leading to Perez being awarded the win. Perez has bounced back from a rough patch right out of the All-Star break, earning a save and a win over two scoreless innings across his last two appearances. For the year, he has a 4.26 ERA, 1.29 WHIP and 29:15 K:BB with two saves and 13 holds across 31.2 innings.
