Luis Perdomo made four starts to begin 2018, lasted barely over three innings per start (14 total), and gave up 26 hits and 15 runs. San Diego Padres Manager Andy Green immediately cut the short leash he placed on Perdomo, and optioned him down to AAA El Paso on April 20th.
The 25-year-old righty has since pitched extremely well, logging four quality starts of his five total. As of May 21st, Perdomo has a 3-2 record with a 3.09 ERA and a 0.91 WHIP. In the 35 innings he has logged he’s given up 25 hits and seven walks while striking out 31 hitters.
