Before joining the Mariners, Perakslis spent his entire professional career in the Chicago Cubs organization from the time he was selected by the team in the 21st round of the 2012 MLB Amateur Draft.

The Abington, Massachusetts native split time between Double-A and Triple-A last season and finished with a combined 5-3 record, a 3.19 ERA and 77 strikeouts in 73.1 innings pitched in 34 games.
