Blue Jays' Nolan Perry: Recovering from concussion
Rotowire
Double-A New Hampshire placed Perry on the 7-day injured list Friday after he entered concussion protocol when he was struck in the head by a 104-mph line drive during his last start July 19, MLB.com reports.
Perry is expected to make a full recovery from the concussion, but he's considered week-to-week and will be without a clear timeline for a return until he's cleared to resume a throwing program. The 22-year-old righty has made stops across three minor-league levels in 2026, logging a 2.41 ERA, 1.02 WHIP and 85:19 K:BB over 56 innings.
Blue Jays' Nolan Perry: Dazzling in return from TJ
Rotowire
Perry has posted a 1.73 ERA, 0.69 WHIP and 40:7 K:BB in 26 innings across six games (five starts) between Single-A Dunedin and High-A Vancouver this season.
An unheralded 12th-round pick in the 2022 draft, Perry missed all of 2025 due to Tommy John surgery but has returned with more pop on his fastball, which is now averaging about 94 mph, and a sharper slider. The 22-year-old right-hander still has to prove himself against tougher competition to be viewed as a legitimate prospect, but his numbers to begin 2026 are impressive -- per Mitch Bannon of The Athletic, Perry's 34.4 percent K%-BB% ranks fourth among all minor-league pitchers, with top prospects Seth Hernandez of the Pirates and Kade Anderson of the Mariners being two of the names ahead of him.
