Perez (7-11) took the loss against the Mets on Monday, allowing seven runs (five earned) on 10 hits and three walks in four innings. He struck out five.
Perez wasn't sharp during a rare Monday afternoon first-pitch time, surrendering a season-high 10 knocks in another short start. The right-hander is showing real signs of fatigue amid the campaign's final stages, working fewer than five innings while yielding at least five runs in three straight outings. Things won't get any easier with the Dodgers looming for his next scheduled appearance, with Perez now carrying a 3.94 ERA, 1.24 WHIP 150:62 K:BB over a career-high 139.1 innings.

Marlins' Eury Perez: Burned by long ball in no-decision
Rotowire
Perez took a no-decision against the Royals on Wednesday, allowing six runs on nine hits and three walks in 4.2 innings. He struck out three.
It was tough sledding from the get-go for Perez, who let in five runs in the opening frame and served up a season-high three home runs after conceding just one in his previous 10 appearances. The hard-throwing right-hander is beginning to struggle on the mound -- he's given up 11 runs in his past two starts after yielding 11 earned runs in his nine outings prior to that stretch. He'll look to bounce back his next time out versus the Mets, still holding a strong 3.72 ERA, 1.18 WHIP and 145:59 K:BB over a career-high 135.1 innings.

Marlins' Eury Perez: Chased early in Friday's loss
Rotowire
Perez (7-10) took the loss Friday, coughing up five runs on two hits and four walks over three innings as the Marlins fell 9-2 to the Nationals. He struck out five.
After two scoreless frames to begin the night, the wheels came off for Perez in the third after he walked the bases loaded, uncorked a wild pitch that brought home the first two Washington runs, then served up a three-run blast to Brady House after another free pass. The 23-year-old right-hander has thrown a career-high 130.2 innings this season, and fatigue could be setting in -- he's issued multiple walks in six straight outings, managing to put together a 3.09 ERA and 1.19 WHIP over that stretch despite a 36:18 K:BB in 32 innings. Perez will try to turn things around in his next start, which is set to come on the road next week in Kansas City.

Marlins' Eury Perez: Nabs seventh win
Rotowire
Perez (7-9) picked up the win in Saturday's 4-2 victory over the Nationals, allowing two runs (one earned) on three hits and three walks over five innings. He struck out four.
The right-hander wasn't at his sharpest and needed 100 pitches (56 strikes) to get through the minimum five innings in order to qualify for a win, but Perez mostly avoided hard contact before handing things off to his bullpen. Over six starts since the All-Star break, Perez has put together a 2.25 ERA, 1.11 WHIP and 33:15 K:BB in 36 innings, but he's issued multiple free passes in five straight outings. He'll look to tighten things up in his next start, which is set to come on the road next weekend in a rematch with Washington.

Marlins' Eury Perez: Mixed bag in ninth loss
Rotowire
Perez (5-9) took the loss Wednesday against Atlanta, allowing four runs on seven hits and two walks in five innings. He struck out nine.
Most of the damage came during the second inning, when Atlanta plated three runs, but Perez was dominant at times Wednesday. The hard-throwing right-hander generated 18 whiffs on the way to matching a season high in strikeouts, and he's now posted a 2.30 ERA and 0.96 WHIP to go with a 49:14 K:BB over his last eight starts (47 innings) since returning from the injured list. Perez will take a 3.61 ERA, 1.13 WHIP and 121:42 K:BB across 109.2 frames overall into his next scheduled outing against Pittsburgh.

Marlins' Eury Perez: Takes loss despite quality start
Rotowire
Perez (5-7) took the loss against the Guardians on Saturday, allowing two runs on eight hits and two walks while striking out six across six innings.
The eight hits Perez allowed matched a career high that he set in September of 2025, but he limited the damage to a two-run double from Steven Kwan in the fourth inning. Perez generated 14 whiffs while tossing 69 strikes on 99 pitches, and despite the quality start, he did not get enough run support from his Marlins teammates to avoid the loss. The 23-year-old right-hander enters the All-Star break with a 3.78 ERA, 1.14 WHIP and 95:34 K:BB across 85.2 innings.

Marlins' Eury Perez: Perfect for seven innings
Rotowire
Perez (5-6) struck out eight over seven perfect innings to earn the win over the Athletics on Sunday.
Perez didn't get a chance to go for history, as manager Clayton McCullough pulled the right-hander at 92 pitches (56 strikes). Lake Bachar then made a mess of things in the eighth inning, and Pete Fairbanks struggled in the ninth, but the Marlins had just enough of a cushion to escape with the win. Perez has allowed just two runs over 17 innings across three starts since he returned from a right gracilis muscle strain. He's at a 3.84 ERA, 1.10 WHIP and 89:32 K:BB through 79.2 innings over 15 starts this season. Perez is projected to make his next start at home versus the Guardians.

Marlins' Eury Perez: Fans eight in victory
Rotowire
Perez (4-6) earned the win over Colorado on Tuesday, allowing one run on two hits and four walks while striking out eight batters over 5.1 innings.
It was the second start back for Perez after he missed nearly a month due to a thigh injury. He was held to 68 pitches in his return outing last Wednesday but was given a longer leash Tuesday, as he finished his start at 86 pitches. The right-hander struggled with his control a bit by issuing four walks, but he was otherwise nearly untouchable, with the only run against him coming on a first-inning solo homer by Mickey Moniak. Perez also had his swing-and-miss stuff working, racking up 19 whiffs and eight punchouts. He should be able to push his pitch count even further in upcoming outings, and his next start is tentatively scheduled to be a road matchup against the Athletics at Sutter Health Park in Sacramento.

Marlins' Eury Perez: Confirmed to return Wednesday
Rotowire
Perez (gracilis) will return from the 15-day injured list to start Wednesday's game versus the Rangers, Stephen Strom of Marlins Radio Network reports.
Manager Clayton McCullough indicated Monday that Perez would return from the IL on Wednesday as long as the right-hander bounced back from a pitch-design session without incident, and that appears to have come to pass. Perez's absence due to a right gracilis muscle strain lasted four weeks, which is half of the initial projected timetable laid out by McCullough when the 23-year-old initially landed on the shelf May 29. He threw 51 pitches in his lone rehab start, so Perez's workload may be limited Wednesday.

Marlins' Eury Perez: Could rejoin rotation Wednesday
Rotowire
Marlins manager Clayton McCullough said that Perez (gracilis) "felt great" during his pitch-design session Monday and could return from the 15-day injured list to start Wednesday versus the Rangers, Jordan McPherson of the Miami Herald reports.
As long as Perez recovers well from the session, he should be cleared to pitch Wednesday following a four-week absence due to a right gracilis muscle strain. Perez threw only 51 pitches in what is poised to be his lone rehab start last week with Triple-A Jacksonville, so he won't be prepared for a full workload against the Rangers.

Marlins' Eury Perez: Strong start to rehab stint
Rotowire
Perez (thigh) gave up one run on three hits over 3.2 innings in a rehab start for Triple-A Jacksonville on Thursday. He struck out five without walking a batter.
The right-hander fired 51 pitches (37 strikes) in his first rehab outing since landing on the IL on May 29 after straining his right gracilis muscle. The initial estimate for Perez's recovery suggested he might be on the shelf until late July, but Thursday's performance was encouraging enough that a return before the All-Star break looks plausible. Perez was sitting 96-98 mph with his fastballs Thursday and topped out at 99.4 mph on a four-seamer.

Marlins' Eury Perez: Headed for imaging on hamstring
Rotowire
Perez said after Wednesday's 2-1 loss to the Blue Jays that he will undergo further imaging on his right hamstring, Christina De Nicola of MLB.com reports.
After limiting the Blue Jays to three base hits while striking out nine and issuing no walks over four scoreless frames, Perez was pulled in advance of the fifth inning of his start Wednesday due to a right hamstring spasm. The Marlins will send Perez in for an MRI to glean more information on the severity of the injury, which the right-hander indicated is already beginning to show some improvement. Until the results of his imaging are available, Perez's status for his next turn through the rotation Tuesday in Washington is up in the air.

Marlins' Eury Perez: Loses fifth straight Sunday
Rotowire
Perez (2-6) took the loss against the Rays on Sunday, allowing five runs on five hits and four walks with five strikeouts over five innings.
The same command issues that have plagued Perez for much of the season were his undoing Sunday, as he allowed two homers and walked four batters while throwing 63 of 102 pitches for strikes. During his current five-start losing streak, the 23-year-old has posted a 6.55 ERA while surrendering six long balls and issuing 16 free passes. He'll take a disappointing 5.33 ERA, 1.41 WHIP and 58:28 K:BB across 52.1 innings this season into a home start against the Mets next weekend.

Marlins' Eury Perez: Nabs quality start but takes loss
Rotowire
Perez (2-5) took the loss against Minnesota on Tuesday, allowing three runs on three hits and three walks while striking out eight batters over six innings.
Perez did well outside of the fifth inning, when he gave up three runs on a walk and two hits (including a Ryan Jeffers homer). However, that was more than enough for Minnesota to pull out the win in a game in which Twins starter Bailey Ober recorded his first career shutout. On a positive note for Perez, he posted his third quality start of the campaign and tied a season high with eight punchouts while showing improvement over the five-run dud he labored through his last time out. Perez is in line to make his next start at Tampa Bay this weekend.

Marlins' Eury Perez: Strikes out six against Philly
Rotowire
Perez (2-3) took the loss Friday against the Phillies, allowing two runs on four hits and two walks with six strikeouts across five innings.
Perez breezed through the first three innings, piling up five strikeouts, but he ran into trouble in the fourth with two runs allowed on three hits, one walk and a wild pitch. Perez has some of the best pure stuff in baseball, but he's been hurt by inconsistent command. The right-hander has allowed at last three runs in six of seven starts to begin the season and now owns a 4.46 ERA and 39:16 K:BB across 36.1 innings. The swing-and-miss stuff is there, but Perez needs to be sharper and work deeper into games. He's made it six innings just twice. The 23-year-old is lined up to face Baltimore at home next week.

Marlins' Eury Perez: Strikes out seven over six innings
Rotowire
Perez (2-1) earned the win Sunday against the Brewers, allowing one unearned run on three hits and one walk while striking out seven over six innings.
Perez turned in a strong performance, cruising through five scoreless innings, including striking out the side in the second, before running into minor trouble in the sixth. After issuing a leadoff walk to David Hamilton, a throwing error by catcher Liam Hicks allowed the latter to reach third, and he later scored on a groundout. The outing was a much-needed correction after Perez allowed 15 runs over his first 20 innings of the season. The right-hander now owns a 4.15 ERA, 1.35 WHIP and a 27:12 K:BB across 26 innings, and he will look to build on this performance in his next scheduled start against a Giants lineup that has struggled offensively this year.

Marlins' Eury Perez: Lasts four innings Monday
Rotowire
Perez did not factor into the decision Monday, allowing four runs (three earned) on seven hits and two walks over four innings against Atlanta. He struck out two.
Perez failed to qualify for the win, as the right-hander was pulled after four innings on just 76 pitches. After averaging six strikeouts in his first three starts of the season, the 22-year-old managed only two punchouts in Monday's outing. Through four appearances in 2026, Perez owns a 5.40 ERA and 1.55 WHIP with a 20:11 K:BB across 20 innings and is slated to face Milwaukee in his next start Sunday.

Marlins' Eury Perez: Earns first win of season
Rotowire
Perez (1-1) earned the win Wednesday against the Reds after allowing four runs (two earned) on six hits and two walks across five innings. He struck out six and also hit a batter.
Even though Perez finished just three outs away from recording a quality start, this was still a solid showing for the right-hander -- and more importantly, it was a bounce-back effort compared to his previous start. However, Perez has yet to pitch more than five innings after doing so in his first turn of the season against the Pirates. Through three starts, Perez has a 5.06 ERA with a 1.38 WHIP and a 18:9 K:BB across 16 frames. His next start is scheduled for next week on the road against Atlanta.

Marlins' Eury Perez: Fires four no-hit innings Sunday
Rotowire
Perez walked one and struck out five over four scoreless, no-hit innings during Sunday's Grapefruit League game against the Astros.
The 22-year-old right-hander's strikeout victims included Jose Altuve and prospect Zach Cole (twice) as Perez built up to 53 pitches, 30 of which went for strikes. Through 9.2 spring innings, he's posted a 15:6 K:BB, and Perez could be poised for a breakout campaign after he tossed a career-high 118 innings across three levels in 2025, delivering a 4.25 ERA, 1.05 WHIP and 105:32 K:BB in 95.1 frames for the Marlins across 20 starts.

Marlins' Eury Perez: Struggles continue Wednesday
Rotowire
Perez (6-5) took the loss Wednesday as the Marlins were downed 10-5 by the Nationals, surrendering seven runs on eight hits and a walk over four innings. He struck out two.
Two of the hits off Perez left the yard, including Nasim Nunez's first career homer in the majors -- continuing a downturn that has seen the right-hander serve up multiple home runs in four of six starts since the beginning of August, a stretch in which he's been saddled with an 8.53 ERA, 1.42 WHIP and 21:10 K:BB over 25.1 innings. Perez will try to get back on track in his next outing, which lines up to come at home early next week in a rematch with the Nats.
