ARLINGTON — As the Marlins proceed to spiral, swept in Sunday afternoon’s 6-0 loss to the Rangers at Globe Life Field, a reinforcement is anticipated to make his return to the rotation.
“We had this fairly mapped out,” common supervisor Kim Ng stated. “I talked about him doing a combo of workouts and full-body workouts, bullpens, getting him back into competition, which we have. He’s had several starts the last couple of weeks. We just had it mapped out. Like I said earlier, we wanted to give him a little breather, which we’ve done. We just felt like this was the time.”
Miami had optioned Pérez to Double-A Pensacola on July 7 to watch his workload after he had surpassed his profession excessive in innings between the Majors (53 1/3) and Minors (36 2/3). After not showing in a sport for 20 days, Pérez returned to the mound for the Blue Wahoos and constructed again up in truncated begins on July 26 (2 1/3 innings, 45 pitches) and Aug. 1 (3 1/3 innings, 63 pitches).
The Marlins initially referred to as Pérez up on May 12 forward of schedule resulting from necessity, with starters Johnny Cueto and Trevor Rogers on the injured record. The membership was shuttling non-40-man-roster pitchers from the Minors. Miami meant to possibility Pérez sooner, when Rogers accomplished his rehab task, however the lefty sustained a setback that allowed the previous prime pitching prospect in baseball to stay round till simply earlier than the All-Star break.
Prior to that call, his 2.36 ERA by way of his first 11 profession begins (minimal 50 innings) was the bottom for a pitcher 20 years previous or youthful within the Live Ball Era.
“We feel happy about him because he’s going to be back,” stated mentor Sandy Alcantara, who surrendered three homers in six innings. “Especially for him, he was doing really good being here. So now we’re going to have the opportunity to see him in Cincinnati, and he’s got to keep doing what he was doing before.”
Miami (58-55) finds itself in an identical state of flux after right-hander Edward Cabrera’s demotion to Triple-A Jacksonville due to his command points and Rogers’ prolonged keep on the IL. After being three video games up within the NL Wild Card image getting into the second half, the Marlins are a half-game again. The membership is simply three video games over .500 for the primary time since June 3 after dropping six of seven this week.

Since Pérez went again to the Minors on July 7, the beginning employees entered Sunday:
“It really wasn’t affected by that,” Ng stated of the choice to deliver Pérez again up. “I think through all of this, we’ve always had to be flexible in how we think about it, but for this, it really was not dependent on others.”
Pérez’s inclusion within the rotation means pushing everybody again a day. Lefty Braxton Garrett and righty Johnny Cueto will comply with Pérez within the Reds’ sequence, then southpaw Jesús Luzardo will open the Yankees’ sequence on Friday. With 5 upcoming off-days on the schedule, Pérez and the remainder of the starters could have an additional day of relaxation — one thing the group wished to make use of to its benefit.
“We’re excited to have Eury back tomorrow, and we’re looking forward to maybe him sparking us,” supervisor Skip Schumaker stated. “I don’t want to put too much pressure on a 20-year-old. We have to monitor him still, also. He’s on his way back. I don’t want him to feel like he has to be the hero, either. That’s a lot of pressure to put on a 20-year-old. But I like my chances, obviously, with him.”
Asked whether or not Pérez would be capable of pitch by way of the tip of the common season and the playoffs if the Marlins made it, Ng wouldn’t decide to that.
“As we’ve tried to do for most of the year is just monitor him and be super cautious,” Ng stated. “Obviously, this is about his future, his health and making sure that we really don’t jeopardize that.”
