The Miami Marlins have optioned rookie pitcher Eury Pérez back to the minor leagues in order to limit his workload, as he has already surpassed his career-high innings pitched. Pérez, who has a 2.36 ERA in 11 starts, will continue to pitch in Double-A rather than being shut down completely. The move is reminiscent of the Stephen Strasburg shutdown in 2012, and while it is not against the rules, Pérez and the MLBPA could potentially file a grievance due to the demotion affecting his service time and salary. The Marlins currently hold the top National League wild-card spot and have a three-game lead on a postseason berth.
