Latest Fantasy Rumors
Demotion on horizon
CNew York Mets  AAA
May 19, 2023
Gary Sanchez is expected to be promoted by the Mets on Friday, per Jon Heyman of the New York Post, which could result in Perez being sent back to Triple-A Syracuse.
ANALYSIS
Perez had his contract selected by the Mets last week and has appeared in two games, going 4-for-7 with a double and a run scored. The 30-year-old has realistically done all he can to retain his spot in the majors, but his poor track record at the highest level likely outweighs the strong two-game performance. Francisco Alvarez is currently "dinged up" but isn't likely to require a stint on the injured list, and it's unclear if New York is willing to carry three catchers on its active roster.

Past Fantasy Outlooks
2021
2019
Perez paired a career-high 93 plate appearances with a career-worst 35 wRC+ in 2020. His struggles convinced the Rays to part ways with him in the offseason, though he has since found a new home in Pittsburgh. In 228 major-league plate appearances, Perez has accrued a 28.5% strikeout rate with just a .093 ISO. Some small glimmers of promise may linger under the disappointing numbers, however, as Perez was regarded as an athletic prospect with ability as a hitter. That athleticism has come through defensively in varying degrees, as Perez has improved his ability to control the running game, though his framing still lags behind. While unlikely, it's possible a step forward with his bat is next as Perez is entering his age 29 season. Jacob Stallings is locked in as the Pirates' primary backstop, though it's a near certainty that Perez will surpass his previous season-best 93 plate appearances.
Perez joined the Rays in late July following a trade from Arizona, heading straight to the majors for his first big-league action and remaining there until a hamstring strain ended his season in late August. He didn't do anything particularly special with the bat, but his .284/.304/.392 line in 80 plate appearances was perfectly adequate for a backstop. He didn't project as anything more than a backup as a prospect, and he'll likely be fighting for that role with Nick Ciuffo this spring, with offseason acquisition Mike Zunino penciled in for the starting job. Perez's 3.8% walk rate is a cause for concern, though he walked 8.3% of the time for Triple-A Reno prior to the trade. Don't expect too much from the 26-year-old, but there's enough there for him to be a competent deep-league fill-in should he end up with a run of playing time.
