Atlanta Braves left-hander Martín Pérez is expected to miss time after being struck on his pitching arm by a line drive during Sunday’s 10–9 loss to the New York Mets. Multiple reports say the hit occurred when Pérez’s left forearm was struck by a line drive hit by Juan Soto. After the incident, Braves manager Walt Weiss said X-rays on Pérez are negative, but he added the pitcher is expected to undergo additional testing to determine the extent of the injury. Weiss characterized the situation as “probably an IL,” indicating a likely placement on the injured list depending on the follow-up results. The team’s next steps involve further medical evaluation following the initial imaging. The reports agree that, while initial X-rays do not show a fracture, Pérez’s status remains uncertain until the additional tests are completed. The Braves have not provided a confirmed timetable for his return, and the injured list decision is described as contingent on the upcoming medical findings.
