Perez was designated for assignment by the Marlins on Friday.

EDGE Analysis

The Marlins needed a spot on the 40-man roster for recent callup Mike Aviles, which left Perez as the odd-man out. The 26-year-old has gotten off to a horrific start to the season with Double-A Jacksonville (.131 batting average, 25.2 percent strikeout rate), so he'll likely be relegated to organizational depth after this move.
