Braves Sign Veteran Lefty Martín Pérez to Minor-League Deal

The low-risk move lets Atlanta assess his health for possible rotation depth in spring training.

Overview

  • Pérez agreed to a minor-league contract, with ClutchPoints reporting it includes a non-roster invitation to big league camp.
  • The 34-year-old left-hander is entering his 15th MLB season and was an All-Star in 2022.
  • He logged a 3.54 ERA over 56 innings for the White Sox in 2025, limited by a flexor issue early and a season-ending left shoulder strain.
  • Atlanta has been seeking cost-controlled pitching depth as it evaluates options for a fifth starter and long relief.
  • If he reaches the majors with the Braves, it would be the seventh MLB club of his career.
