Pérez split the 2022 season between Jupiter and the Double-A Pensacola Blue Wahoos. In 18 combined starts, he posted a 3-3 record and 3.97 ERA with 110 strikeouts in 77.0 innings of work.[6] Following the season, he was named the Marlins' Minor League Pitcher of the Year.[7] Pérez was assigned to Pensacola to begin the 2023 season, where he made 6 starts and logged a 3-1 record and 2.32 ERA with 42 strikeouts in 31.0 innings pitched.[8]

On May 10, 2023, the Marlins announced that Pérez would be promoted to the major leagues for the first time and debut against the Cincinnati Reds two days later.[9] He officially had his contract selected to the active roster on May 12.[10] He was optioned to Double-A Pensacola on July 7, 2023.
