Athletics' Francisco Perez: Signs minor-league contract
Perez signed a minor-league contract with the Athletics on Friday, Chris Hillburn-Trenkle of Baseball America reports.
Perez was released by the Nationals late in March. The left-handed reliever has pitched in the majors over the last two seasons and owns a career 5.87 ERA over 14 appearances with Cleveland and Washington. He provides some organizational depth and has a chance to help the Oakland bullpen before the end of the 2023 campaign.

Nationals' Francisco Perez: Sent to minors camp
The Nationals reassigned Perez to minor-league camp Tuesday, Andrew Golden of The Washington Post reports.
Perez made 10 relief appearances at the big-league level for Washington in 2022 but did little to distinguish himself, logging a 7.27 ERA and 2.54 WHIP across 8.2 innings. He'll likely need to turn in quality results at Triple-A Rochester over an extended period to begin the 2023 campaign before the Nationals consider giving him another look in the majors.

Nationals' Francisco Perez: Back with Nats on MiLB pact
Perez agreed Wednesday with the Nationals on a minor-league contract that includes an invitation to big-league spring training, Mark Zuckerman of MASNSports.com reports.
Perez elected free agency after being outrighted off the Nationals' 40-man roster in November, but upon exploring his options on the open market, he ultimately decided to return to the Washington organization. He'll get a chance to vie for a spot in Washington's Opening Day bullpen, but he's more realistically ticketed for Triple-A Rochester. He spent the majority of the 2022 campaign at Rochester, submitting a 4.82 ERA and 1.43 WHIP while punching out 61 batters over 46.2 innings.

Nationals' Francisco Perez: Up as extra man
The Nationals will call up Perez from Triple-A Rochester ahead of the second game of Tuesday's doubleheader with Arizona, Jesse Dougherty of The Washington Post reports.
Perez will be designated as Washington's 29th man for the twin bill and gives the club an extra left-hander in the bullpen, though he's unlikely to see high-leverage innings. The 24-year-old allowed three runs in 6.2 innings in his MLB debut season for Cleveland in 2021.
