The Reds signed Perez to a minor-league contract on Dec. 11.

EDGE Analysis

The 32-year-old infielder hasn't appeared in a major-league game since 2021, but he posted a strong .836 OPS with 10 home runs and nine stolen bases over 63 games (231 plate appearances) last season with the Triple-A affiliate of the Twins.

Perez signed a minor-league contract Wednesday with the Twins, Daniel Alvarez-Montes of ElExtraBase.com reports.

EDGE Analysis

Perez is currently playing for Team Venezuela in the World Baseball Classic and will head over to Twins camp in Florida whenever that all comes to an end. The 31-year-old did not reach the majors in 2022 and holds a career .250/.280/.382 batting line at baseball's highest level, but he can offer organizational depth at a range of different positions for Minnesota.

Atlanta signed Perez to a minor-league contract Thursday and assigned him to Triple-A Gwinnett.

EDGE Analysis

Perez made his Gwinnett debut Friday and has appeared in three games for the affiliate, going 4-for-11 with a solo home run, two walks and a stolen base. During the 2021 campaign, the 31-year-old utility man split time between the Triple-A and MLB levels before making the jump to the Korea Baseball Organization in July. He ultimately wasn't retained by the Hanhwa Eagles for a second season and had been a free agent throughout the winter before catching on in the Mexican League. He then requested his release from the Mexican League when an opportunity with Atlanta became available. Perez's versatility and wealth of MLB experience could make him a candidate for a promotion to the big club if he continues to produce well at Gwinnett.

Perez was granted his release by the Brewers on Sunday and agreed to a contract with the Hanwha Eagles of the Korean Baseball Organization, Adam McCalvy of MLB.com reports.

EDGE Analysis

The 30-year-old signed with the Brewers in early May after beginning the season with the Nationals, and he'd been hitting well at Triple-A Nashville with a .357/.396/.536 slash line in 23 games. Perez struggled in 13 major-league appearances between the Nationals and Cubs over the past two years, and he'll attempt to revitalize his career in South Korea.

Perez signed a minor-league deal with the Brewers on Friday and was assigned to Triple-A Nashville.

EDGE Analysis

Perez spent parts of five seasons in Milwaukee from 2015 to 2019. The Brewers have faced far more than their fair share of injuries this season, so the veteran utility man could eventually fill a bench role. It's not clear he's the solution to their problems, however, as he's a career .250/.280/.382 hitter who hasn't posted a wRC+ north of 80 since 2016.

Perez cleared outright waivers Thursday and elected free agency, Jesse Dougherty of The Washington Post reports.

EDGE Analysis

Perez was cast off the Nationals' 40-man roster Tuesday after he hit .053 with 10 strikeouts in 19 at-bats to begin the season. Rather than accepting his outright assignment to Triple-A Rochester, the 30-year-old will now be free to sign elsewhere as a free agent.

Perez was designated for assignment by the Nationals on Tuesday, Mark Zuckerman of MASNSports.com reports.

EDGE Analysis

The veteran made the team's Opening Day roster and started four of the first five games, but his playing time fell off dramatically after that, as he started just one of the next 19 games. In 21 trips to the plate, he posted a .196 OPS. He doesn't offer much at the plate, but his defensive versatility could help him land somewhere in a bench role.

Perez is out of the lineup Sunday against the Dodgers, Jesse Dougherty of The Washington Post reports.

EDGE Analysis

The 30-year-old started the first three games of the season but now finds himself on the bench for the second time in the past three games. Perez won't have an everyday role in the lineup, but he should continue to split time at second base with Luis Garcia and Jordy Mercer until Josh Harrison (COVID-19 protocols) returns from the injured list.

Perez is out of the lineup for Friday's game against the Dodgers, Mark Zuckerman of MASNSports.com reports.

EDGE Analysis

Perez started the first three games of the season but will move to the bench for Friday's contest. Luis Garcia will start at the keystone and bat seventh for the Nationals.

Perez will start at second base and bat sixth in Tuesday's season opener versus Atlanta.

EDGE Analysis

Initially expected to begin the season in a utility role, Perez now appears to have a path to full-time job after Josh Harrison was placed on the COVID-19 injured list Tuesday. Though he'll get the nod at second base with southpaw Drew Smyly on the bump, Perez will still have to fend off the lefty-hitting Luis Garcia for starts against right-handed pitching while Harrison remains in quarantine.
