"Martín Pérez has gotten the start, making this his second appearance and first official start with the team this season. His last game with the Athletics resulted in three strikeouts, only two hits, and no earned runs across 4.1 innings out of the bullpen."
"He had mentioned how healthy he felt for the first time since 2024 in the post-game presser for that game, remarking in his words how he had confidence in feeling well the following day without any worries."
"Relying on four main pitches (change-up, sinker, cutter, and curveball) in his arsenal, we can expect to see the change-up and sinker taking the front seat as his targeted weapons against the Diamondbacks' offense."
"Though allowing five runs across his six innings pitched just five days ago against the Detroit Tigers, don't let the numbers fool you. His consistency and overall command haven't been the strongest and have hurt his chances for effectiveness on the mound."
The Atlanta Braves experienced a close loss to the Arizona Diamondbacks, but Bryce Elder's consistent quality starts have been a positive. Martín Pérez is set to make his first official start of the season after a strong performance in relief. He expressed confidence in his health and readiness, having struggled with injuries previously. The Diamondbacks will counter with Brandon Pfaadt, who has had a rough start to the season, struggling with command and consistency on the mound.
