MIAMI — Eury Perez’s time in the major leagues, at least for the time being, has come to an end.
The Miami Marlins on Friday optioned the 20-year-old right-handed pitcher to the minor leagues, a move that was expected at some point before the All-Star Break considering the team’s plan to be cautious with Perez as he maneuvered through this season.
“We all understand and now we’ve seen first-hand just what a great talent he is,” Marlins general manager Kim Ng said. “He has certainly done a terrific job for us.”
