Marlins starter Eury Pérez leaves after striking out 9 in 4 innings because of right hamstring spasm
Eury Pérez struck out a season-high nine and allowed three hits before a right hamstring spasm forced him out in the fifth, the Marlins said.
- On Wednesday, Miami Marlins right-hander Eury Pérez left the game at Toronto after four shutout innings when his right hamstring spasmed while stretching in the dugout; he needed assistance descending the clubhouse steps.
- Moments before the injury, Pérez hit Toronto slugger Kazuma Okamoto in the back with a first-pitch 97 mph fastball in the fourth, then appeared to stare into Toronto's dugout. Blue Jays manager John Schneider appeared to yell, though the situation did not escalate.
- Despite the early exit, Pérez struck out nine batters—a season-high—while throwing 73 pitches with 48 strikes, allowing only three singles and no walks.
- Michael Petersen replaced Pérez as Miami fell to a 2-1 loss; Toronto tied the game when Nathan Lukes hit an RBI double off Petersen with two outs in the fifth.
- The severity of Pérez's spasm may impact Miami's rotation depth as the team navigates the hamstring injury and assesses his availability for upcoming starts.
