Martin Perez came from pretty much out of nowhere, including his own DFA earlier in the season, to chip in handily for the Braves. While he was more fortunate-and-or-availing-himself-of-the-defense than good (73 ERA- but a 104 FIP- and a 107 xFIP-), the Braves werenāt exactly awash in non-Chris Sale effective starters for much of the season, so Perez was far more helpful than not. Given that, he was probably in the mix for serious innings consideration in any non-Sale, non-Tyler Mahle postseas...
