Rest-of-Season Projections
Perez announced his retirement Wednesday, Anthony Castrovince of MLB.com reports.
ANALYSIS
Perez, who had been working out at the Orioles' facility in Florida while serving a second drug-related suspension, most recently pitched for the organization's Triple-A affiliate in Norfolk earlier this season. The 30-year-old appeared in games for the Cardinals, Indians and Dodgers during his seven-year major league career, posting a lifetime 3.51 ERA with 133 saves in 393 appearances. He'll be best-remembered for his time in Cleveland, where he was a two-time All-Star and posted a cumulative 2.84 ERA over 180.1 innings from 2010-12.

Perez lost time to an ankle injury in 2014, making just 49 appearances for the Dodgers and outpitching his FIP for the second year in a row. Throughout his career, Perez has battled inconsistency with his control and his 4.9 BB/9 in 2014 was his highest as a big leaguer. On a positive note, he saw a return in his velocity during his only season with the Dodgers, averaging 94.3 mph on his fastball and adding a mile per hour to his slider. If he can get a feel for both pitches consistently, Perez could become a late-inning threat again, but he may have to ply his trade in low-leverage roles and earn that opportunity with a new club in 2015.
