Miami Marlins right-hander Eury Pérez returned to a big-league mound on Monday night against the Pittsburgh Pirates for the first time since Sept. 20, 2023. Pérez, of course, underwent Tommy John surgery and had an internal brace installed in April 2024.
Pérez wound up with the following line during the Marlins’ eventual 10-3 loss:
He did not permit a home run, and 43 of his 70 pitches went for strikes.
While those aren’t optimal results from a run-prevention standpoint — particularly against one of the worst offenses in Major League Baseball — there were some bright spots for Pérez. Specifically, he averaged 98.5 mph with his fastball and touched 99.7 mph. He also notched eight swings and misses in his three innings of work.
Pérez, 22, appeared to be a star on the rise during his initial introduction to the big leagues. In 19 starts, he amassed a 3.15 ERA (149 ERA+) and a 3.48 strikeout-to-walk ratio. His contributions were worth an estimated 2.7 Wins Above Replacement, according to Baseball Reference’s calculations, and he finished seventh in the 2023 National League Rookie of the Year Award voting (the Diamondbacks‘ Corbin Carroll won that year).
Pérez made eight rehab appearances this season, posting a 1.99 ERA and a 2.70 strikeout-to-walk ratio. Notably, he’s shown similar fastball velocity (averaging 97.6 mph and topping out at 99.9 mph) while incorporating some tweaks to his arsenal. Pérez has not only added a sinker, he’s also tweaked his curveball so it now more closely resembles a sweeper. He’s continued to throw his four-seamer, changeup, and gyro slider.
The Marlins’ loss on Monday drops them to 24-40 on the season, which gives them the second-worst record in the NL and the third-worst record in the majors, ahead of just the Chicago White Sox and the Colorado Rockies.

Fã de Ronaldo, Yago Dora faz penteado ‘Cascão’ para comemorar título mundial de surfe
-- Eu cresci com as memórias do Ronaldo jogando na seleção brasileira. Quando eu era criança, o Brasil ganhou o penta e essa memória ficou marcada na minha cabeça. Sempre foi meu jogador favorito. Eu acho o futebol um esporte muito bonito. Eu adoro assistir. É um pouco mais difícil assistir agora que a gente tem de estar a cada hora do lado do mundo, com os horários diferentes, então ficou um pouco mais difícil de acompanhar, mas quando era mais novo acompanhava tudo e sempre fui fanzaço do Ronaldo do jeito que ele jogava. E eu há dois anos. Atrás eu quis mudar o número da minha laica para 9, porque acho que o 9 representa isso, o cara que chega ali na hora importante e define o jogo e faz as coisas acontecerem. Eu queria isso para a […]

Sabalenková lituje zdrcenou Vondroušovou: Vím, jak hrozně ji to musí bolet
Vondroušová se po vleklých zdravotních problémech konečně dostala do své top formy a experti jí po spanilé jízdě newyorským grandslamem dávali více než solidní šance i do utkání proti nejlepší hráčce WTA Sabalenkové.Necelé dvě hodiny před startem night session na Arthur Ashe Stadium však vyšla najevo smutná zpráva o odstoupení Vondroušové z turnaje, když ji do hry nepustilo zraněné koleno a po konzultaci s turnajovým doktorem se rozhodla neriskovat zhoršení zranění.„Markéty je mi moc líto, obzvlášť po tom, čím vším si prošla. Hrála tu fantastický tenis a vím, jak hrozně moc ji to musí bolet. Opatruj se a doufám, že budeš brzy v pořádku,“ přispěchala s reakcí Sabalenková ve svém instagramovém příběhu.
