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

Throws first outing since WBC
Perez threw 73 pitches over four-plus innings Thursday against Kansas City minor leaguers, Evan Grant of the Dallas Morning News reports.
ANALYSIS
Perez made his first appearance since returning from the World Baseball Classic, during which he threw just 3.1 innings over two weeks. The relative inactivity did not impact the left-hander's ability to build up for the regular season. He struck out eight and walked two before departing in the fifth. He'll make one more spring start, this time in the Cactus League, against Kansas City next Tuesday.

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.
