"Martín Pérez made three appearances in an Atlanta uniform, allowing just five runs across 14 1/3 innings, but only struck out six of the 53 batters he faced."
"The Braves opted not to continue running him out as their fifth starter, carrying a nine-man bullpen for the time being, partially due to a day off on Thursday."
"If Pérez is unable to find a big league contract as a free agent, he could be best served returning to an organization with which he's already familiar."
Martín Pérez has elected free agency after clearing outright waivers following his designation for assignment by the Braves. He made three appearances, allowing five runs in 14 1/3 innings, with a low 7.2% swinging strike percentage. The Braves decided not to keep him as their fifth starter and are currently utilizing a nine-man bullpen. Spencer Strider is set to begin a rehab assignment, and the Braves may consider recalling Didier Fuentes or using José Suarez for a bullpen game. There is a possibility of Pérez returning on a minor league deal.
