Before the beginning of the 1911 season, Perdue was selected off waivers by the Boston Rustlers. He then played with the Rustlers, later to become the Boston Braves, from 1911 to 1914. After four seasons of play, he accumulated a 37–44 (.457) win–loss record with a 4.03 earned run average (ERA) and struck out 245 batters. In 1912, he and Grover Cleveland Alexander lead the league in fewest home runs allowed, having yielded only eleven. The Braves traded Perdue to the National League's St. Louis Cardinals for outfielders Ted Cather and Possum Whitted on June 28, 1914. He pitched with the Cardinals for the rest of the 1914 season and in 1915. At the end of two seasons, his record with St. Louis was 14–20 (.412) with a 3.42 ERA and 72 strikeouts.
