2023 Fantasy Outlook
Good for Martin Perez. After a decade of serving batting practice in big-league games, Perez put together a career year in 2022 to secure $19.65 million from the Rangers in the form of the qualifying offer. He cut his home-run rate dramatically and with that trimmed his ERA to 2.89, ranking 14th among qualified starters. The lefty did not point to any one reason for his shocking turnaround but said instead it was simply a matter of maturity and growth on the pitching mound. History screams regression though the estimators paint his performance last season in a generally favorable light. The one thing Perez has provided consistently throughout his career is the ability to eat innings and that volume alone provides a good deal of value in certain points formats. In leagues where you need to protect ratios, invest at your own risk. Read Past Outlooks

Let down by bullpen in no-decision
Perez allowed an unearned run on three hits and one walk over seven innings in a no-decision against St. Louis on Monday. He struck out five batters.
ANALYSIS
Perez tossed arguably his best game of the campaign, giving up a season-low three hits and tying a season high by completing seven frames. The only run he allowed was unearned, and he finished with his fifth quality start. The southpaw was in line for the win when he departed, but Grant Anderson gave up two runs in relief in the eighth inning, sending Perez to a no-decision. Despite that disappointment, Perez bounced back nicely after giving up six earned runs over 4.2 frames against Detroit his last time out.

Perez began last season as a starter for the Red Sox before being moved to the bullpen due to his struggles, and he finished the campaign with an unremarkable 4.74 ERA and 4.82 FIP. The veteran lefty will return to Texas, where he spent the first seven years of his big-league career, on a one-year deal for 2022. Perez has posted a sub-4.00 ERA only once in his career (2013) and has a 5.50 ERA over the past five seasons. He figures to cover a fair number of innings as part of a young Rangers rotation but is unlikely to be a sought-after commodity for fantasy purposes.
