The Nationals released Perdomo on Thursday.
Washington elected to part ways with Perdomo four days after reassigning him to minor-league camp when his bid for a spot in the Opening Day bullpen fell short. After spending the 2023 season in Japan with Nippon Professional Baseball's Chiba Lotte Marines, Perdomo could look to explore another opportunity overseas now that he's a free agent. Before his stint in Japan, the 30-year-old right-hander had previously seen big-league action with the Padres and Brewers from 2016 through 2022, logging a 23-31 record and 5.12 ERA over 468 innings.

Brewers' Luis Perdomo: Picks up win as primary pitcher
Rotowire
Perdomo (2-0) earned the win over the Cardinals on Tuesday. He allowed a run on three hits and struck out one in three innings.
The Brewers had already designated Tuesday's contest as a bullpen game, but opener Matt Bush exited with a groin injury. Perdomo covered the second through fourth inning and was still in the game when the Brewers took the lead in the fifth, which they held onto for the rest of the contest. Outside of a four-run hiccup at Coors Field on Sept. 6, Perdomo has been effective in a multi-inning role since returning to the big leagues Sept. 1. He's allowed five runs in 8.1 innings over that span and now has a 3.38 ERA, 1.13 WHIP and 7:2 K:BB across 18.2 innings this season.

Rotowire
Perdomo was recalled from Triple-A Nashville on Thursday.
Perdomo missed several months with an elbow injury earlier in the season and was sent to the Triple-A club when he was reinstated from the 15-day injured list in early August. The right-hander has posted a 1.74 ERA and 1.06 WHIP in 10.1 innings over seven relief appearances in the majors this year and will be available as a multi-inning option out of the Brewers' bullpen now that he's back on the active roster.

Brewers' Luis Perdomo: Activated, optioned to Triple-A
Rotowire
Milwaukee reinstated Perdomo (elbow) from the 15-day injured list Tuesday and optioned him to Triple-A Nashville.
Perdomo has recovered from the injury that has sidelined him since late May, but he won't immediately reclaim a spot in the Brewers bullpen. He threw the ball well while making seven rehab appearances with Nashville, and if he keeps that up, he could rejoin the big club at some point before the season ends.

Brewers' Luis Perdomo: In midst of rehab assignment
Rotowire
Perdomo (elbow) made the second appearance of his rehab assignment Saturday with Triple-A Nashville, working one inning while giving up a run on two hits.
Perdomo has resided on the Brewers' 15-day injured list since May 28 due to a right elbow effusion, but with two rehab appearances now under his belt, he looks like he could be on track to be activated shortly after the All-Star break. The right-hander isn't expected to serve as anything more than a low-leverage arm out of the Milwaukee bullpen.

Brewers' Luis Perdomo: Placed on 15-day IL
Rotowire
Perdomo was placed on the 15-day injured list Saturday with right elbow effusion.
Perdomo struck out two in two scoreless innings against the Cardinals on Friday, but he was dealing with some swelling afterward that will force him to spend time on the IL. The Brewers are hopeful that the 29-year-old's injury is relatively minor, Sophia Minnaert of Bally Sports Wisconsin reports, so he could avoid an extended absence. Miguel Sanchez was recalled to take Perdomo's place in the bullpen.

Brewers' Luis Perdomo: Sent packing from big-league camp
Rotowire
The Brewers reassigned Perdomo to minor-league camp Monday.

Rotowire
Perdomo said, "I feel great physically," after throwing two scoreless innings in spring training, according to Adam McCalvy of MLB.com. Perdomo's sinker reached 93 mph in Saturday's outing.
After undergoing Tommy John surgery in October 2020, Perdomo is reportedly a "dark horse" candidate for the Brewers. Throughout Perdomo's career of 444.1 innings, he has a 5.19 ERA, 1.52 WHIP, 16.9% K%, and 8.2% BB%. Although Perdomo is a non-roster invitee, the Brewers have a track record of developing pitchers.

Brewers' Luis Perdomo: Heading to Milwaukee
Rotowire
Perdomo (elbow) signed a minor-league deal with the Brewers on Wednesday, Jesse Sanchez of MLB.com reports.
The 27-year-old was released by the Friars in late November shortly after being designated for assignment, but he's now latched on with a new team. Perdomo underwent Tommy John surgery in October and will miss the entirety of the 2021 campaign, but the Brewers will bring him into the organization with an eye on 2022.

Padres' Luis Perdomo: Designated for assignment
Rotowire
Perdomo (elbow) was designated for assignment by the Padres on Friday.
Perdomo wasn't going to play a role for the Padres in 2021 even if he remained on the 40-man roster, as he'll miss the entire season while recovering from Tommy John surgery. He'll now be available for other teams to claim should they want to pay his contract during his recovery in order to have him for the 2022 campaign. With a career 5.19 ERA in 444.1 total big-league innings, however, Perdomo may not be the most attractive candidate for that sort of move, especially as 2022 will be his age-29 season.

Rotowire

Perdomo was optioned to the Padres' alternate training site Tuesday.
Perdomo was mostly effective for the Padres to begin the season, but he had two appearances in which he struggled.

Lefty Adrian Morejon was called up by the Padres in a corresponding move to start Tuesday against the Rangers.
