Jun 9 2025Peralta earned a hold against Milwaukee on Sunday, retiring the only batter he faced on one pitch. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Peralta entered in the bottom of the seventh inning with San Diego up 1-0 and with runners on first and second base. The southpaw threw a 94 mph sinker to Brice Turang, who lined out to shortstop to end the frame. Peralta thus notched his first hold since April 16 against the Cubs. He has a mediocre 3.81 ERA and has struggled with his control this season, issuing 14 walks over 28.1 innings, but take away a six-run blowup against the Yankees in early May and Peralta would have a 1.95 ERA across 27 games.
Apr 9 2025Peralta struck out one batter in a perfect inning against the Athletics on Tuesday. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Peralta needed just nine pitches to set the A's down in order, and eight of those offerings were strikes. The veteran lefty has yet to give up a run over 6.1 innings this season, and he's yielded just one hit while posting a 4:1 K:BB. Peralta has entered in the seventh inning or later in each of his seven appearances, and while he has just one hold to date, he's also recorded a pair of wins. Robert Suarez has a stranglehold on the Padres' closer role, but Peralta could have some utility in fantasy leagues that count holds if he continues to pitch well and receive late-game opportunities.
Nov 2 2024Peralta exercised his $4.25 million player option for 2025 on Saturday, Jeff Sanders of The San Diego Union-Tribune reports. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Peralta turned in a 3.99 ERA and 1.20 WHIP across 38.1 frames in 2024, and he'll now receive a $900,000 raise by accepting the first of three player options in his deal with the Padres. He will presumably continue to be used in mid-to-high-leverage situations.
Sep 1 2024The Padres reinstated Peralta (thigh) from the 15-day injured list Sunday. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: The left-hander has been sidelined since mid-July due to a left adductor strain, but he's ready to rejoin the Friars after three scoreless rehab appearances. Peralta has 11 holds this season but has struggled at times with a 4.50 ERA, 1.29 WHIP and 20:12 K:BB over 34 innings.
Aug 31 2024Peralta (thigh) had his minor-league rehab assignment moved from Single-A Lake Elsinore to Double-A San Antonio on Friday, Jeff Sanders of The San Diego Union-Tribune reports. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Peralta logged a perfect inning with one strikeout in his first appearance with San Antonio on Friday. It was the veteran reliever's third minor-league rehab outing overall, and he's thus far pitched 3.1 scoreless frames while posting a 3:1 K:BB. Peralta's return to the Padres' bullpen could be imminent.
Aug 23 2024Peralta (thigh) will begin a rehab assignment with Single-A Lake Elsinore on Friday. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Peralta has been on the shelf since July 9 due to a left adductor strain and was cleared to go out on a minor-league rehab assignment after throwing a live batting practice session Tuesday. It's unclear how many rehab outings he'll need before being reinstated from the 15-day IL.
Aug 20 2024Peralta (thigh) threw live batting practice Tuesday, Jeff Sanders of The San Diego Union-Tribune reports. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Peralta was cleared for mound work earlier this week, and he has now quickly progressed to facing live hitters. He remains without a firm timeline for a return to San Diego, but it shouldn't take him too long to build back up as a reliever. The 33-year-old had put up a 4.50 ERA and 1.29 WHIP through 34 innings prior to landing on the injured list in July.
Aug 17 2024Peralta (thigh) has been throwing off a mound, per MLB.com. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Peralta has been on the 15-day injured list since July 12 due to a left adductor strain. It's uncertain how much longer the veteran reliever will be out, but manager Mike Shildt recently indicated that Peralta is "in a good place." Prior to being sidelined, Peralta posted a 4.50 ERA, 1.29 WHIP and 20:12 K:BB over 34 innings while notching two wins and 11 holds across 41 appearances.
Jul 12 2024The Padres placed Peralta on the 15-day injured list, retroactive to July 10, with a left adductor strain. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Peralta sustained the groin strain during an appearance against Seattle on Tuesday and hasn't pitched since. His move to the IL opens up a spot on the active roster for Sean Reynolds. Peralta will be eligible to return in late July.
Jul 9 2024Peralta was removed from Tuesday's game against the Mariners due to an apparent groin injury, AJ Cassavell of MLB.com reports. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Peralta winced and grabbed at his groin immediately after making a pitch in the ninth inning of Tuesday's contest, resulting in him exiting alongside a trainer. He'll presumably undergo imaging in the Padres' clubhouse to determine the nature/severity of his injury, and the team should provide an update shortly after the game.
Jul 7 2024Peralta (2-2) didn't retire a batter and took the loss against Arizona on Saturday. He entered in the 10th frame and allowed three runs (two earned) on two hits and one walk. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Peralta took the ball in the top of the 10th and quickly loaded the bases, giving up a bunt single and a walk to the first two batters he faced. Christian Walker followed with a two-run single, which resulted in Peralta getting the hook. Another run scored following the left-hander's departure, and San Diego couldn't come back in the bottom of the frame. After posting a sub-3.00 ERA in each of his previous two seasons while with the Yankees, Peralta is at a 4.32 ERA, 1.29 WHIP and 20:12 K:BB over 33.1 innings this year. He's given up at least one run in six of his past 12 outings.
Jun 2 2024Peralta earned a hold against the Royals on Saturday by retiring the only batter he faced. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Peralta was brought in with two outs and two on in the bottom of the eighth inning and got Freddy Fermin to line out to end the threat. He was credited with his eighth hold of the campaign, which leads San Diego. Peralta was touched up for four runs over one-third of an inning against Colorado on April 28 but still has a solid 2.66 ERA ERA this season. Over his past 13 outings, the lefty reliever has yielded just one run over 11.1 frames while posting a 10:4 K:BB.
Mar 3 2024Peralta (personal) made his Cactus League debut in Friday's 5-3 loss to the Angels, pitching an inning out of the bullpen while giving up an earned run on two hits and one walk. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Peralta was charged with a blown save in his spring debut, but the Padres are still counting on the 32-year-old lefty to be a key part of their late-inning ranks in 2024. He was a late arrival to spring training while he dealt with visa issues, but Peralta should have plenty of time to get fully ramped up before Opening Day.
Feb 13 2024Peralta is not currently in Padres camp due to an issue with his visa, AJ Cassavell of MLB.com reports. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Peralta signed a four-year deal with San Diego on Jan. 31, and he's expected to be a key high-leverage reliever for the club this season. Though the native of the Dominican Republic hasn't yet been able to join his teammates in camp, the issue isn't likely to impact his readiness for the start of the regular season.
Jan 31 2024Peralta signed a four-year, $16.5 million contract with the Padres on Wednesday, Ken Rosenthal of The Athletic reports. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: The unusual contract contains three opt-out clauses. Peralta really struggled with his control in 2023 in walking 30 batters over 54 innings, but he still managed to post a sub-3.00 ERA for the second year in a row. The 32-year-old has a career strikeout rate of just 19.6 percent, but he also boasts a 52.9 percent ground ball rate and can handle lefties and righties. He will handle high-leverage innings for San Diego.
Sep 22 2023Peralta was placed on the 15-day injured list Friday, retroactive to Sept. 19, with a strained left triceps, Gary Phillips of the New York Daily News reports. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Peralta hadn't pitched in several days because of the injury and now it will put an end to his season. The left-handed reliever was wild for the Yankees this year in walking 30 over 54 frames, but he still posted a 2.83 ERA, struck out 51 and notched four saves. Peralta will be a free agent this offseason.
Sep 20 2023Yankees manager Aaron Boone said Wednesday that Peralta is dealing with some "tricep stuff," Gary Phillips of the New York Daily News reports. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Boone didn't go into much detail regarding Peralta's injury, but it could help explain why the 32-year-old lefty hasn't pitched in nearly a week. A firm return timeline won't be established until more information is provided, but fantasy managers should consider Peralta day-to-day going forward.
Jul 27 2023Peralta earned a hold over the Mets on Wednesday with a perfect inning of work during which he struck out two batters. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Peralta handled the seventh inning with ease for New York, punching out the first two hitters he faced and retiring the side in order on 15 pitches. The southpaw spent some time closing in mid-May but has primarily worked as the Yankees' top setup man this season, securing a team-high 14 holds while compiling four saves, three wins, a 2.31 ERA, a 1.21 WHIP and a 32:21 K:BB over 39 innings. Peralta is two holds shy of his career-high mark set in 2017 as a member of the Reds.
Jun 4 2023Peralta walked one batter over 1.1 scoreless frames and picked up a save over the Dodgers on Sunday. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Peralta posted a 5.87 ERA over eight appearances since his last save chance May 16. He's now converted four of his five opportunities this season with all four successful saves coming in the last month. Peralta is sporting a 2.84 ERA and 24:15 K:BB through 25.1 frames.
May 20 2023Peralta picked up a hold against Cincinnati on Friday, striking out two batters in a perfect inning. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Peralta came into Friday with three saves over the past week, but manager Aaron Boone chose to go to him in the eighth with New York clinging to a one-run lead. The southpaw got the job done with a pair of punchouts in a perfect inning, then was replaced by Nick Ramirez in the ninth. Peralta has pitched well this year and should continue to see save chances, but Friday's bullpen usage is a reminder that the Yankees haven't settled on him -- or anyone else -- as their full-time closer.
May 18 2023Peralta (2-1) took the loss Wednesday as the Yankees were downed 3-0 by the Blue Jays, recording one out in the 10th inning and giving up three runs (one earned) on one hit. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: With Cavan Biggio on second to begin the frame as the phantom runner, Whit Merrifield reached on a grounder up the middle that Anthony Volpe couldn't field cleanly before Danny Jansen hooked a first-pitch slider over the wall in left field to end the night. The long ball snapped Peralta's 10-appearance scoreless streak, and while his 2.16 ERA on the season is still sharp, his 1.38 WHIP and 17:10 K:BB in 16.2 innings aren't elite numbers. The veteran southpaw will still be in the high-leverage mix, but this stumble won't help his chances of locking up the closer role for the Yankees.
May 17 2023Peralta walked one in a scoreless ninth inning Tuesday to record his third save of the season in a 6-3 win over the Blue Jays. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: The Yankees' bullpen got taxed early when Domingo German was ejected ahead of the fourth inning, but Clay Holmes was still saved for the eighth inning and Peralta for the ninth. Michael King, who had thrown 1.1 inning Monday, wasn't used. Peralta has now picked up a save in each of his last three appearances, and at least for now he appears to be manager Aaron Boone's preferred closing option. Holmes has a 10:1 K:BB over the course of a six-game scoreless streak, however, so it may not take much of a stumble from Peralta to drop him back into a setup role.
May 14 2023Peralta picked up the save during Saturday's 9-8 win over Tampa Bay, tossing a scoreless ninth in which he recorded one walk and one strikeout. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Clay Holmes tossed 1.2 shutout innings as a set-up man, and Michael King was unavailable after allowing three runs Friday, so Peralta got the call in the ninth for a second straight day. He issued a two-out walk to Randy Arozarena but retired Brandon Lowe to end the game, marking the left-hander's ninth straight scoreless outing. Peralta is now 2-for-3 in save chances and sports a 1.76 ERA, 1.37 WHIP and 17:9 K:BB through 15.1 innings.
May 13 2023Peralta gave up a hit and struck out two in a scoreless ninth inning Friday to record his first save of the season in a 6-5 win over the Rays. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Ian Hamilton, Michael King and Clay Holmes had all worked earlier in the night, so when Anthony Rizzo gave the Yankees the lead with a two-run homer in the bottom of the eighth, manager Aaron Boone didn't have many other options to try and close things out. Peralta has been effective this season when called upon, collecting two wins and three holds over 17 appearances (plus Friday's save) with a 1.88 ERA and 16:8 K:BB through 14.1 innings, and if the team's late-inning picture does become a true committee, the 31-year-old would be the only lefty in the mix.
Mar 29 2023Peralta pitched in six Grapefruit League games, allowing one run on eight hits and two walks while posting a 9:2 K:BB over 5.2 innings. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Peralta's 14.3 K/9 this spring probably shouldn't be hyped up too much given that the veteran has never averaged a strikeout per inning in any of his seven big-league campaigns. Still, it was a good spring overall for the left-hander, who is coming off a career-best performance last season during which he posted a 2.72 ERA, 1.05 WHIP and 47:17 K:BB across 56.1 innings. Peralta is expected to have an important role in the Yankees' bullpen again this season, as he's currently the only lefty reliever slated to be on the Opening Day roster.
Jan 14 2023Peralta and the Yankees agreed to a one-year deal Saturday, avoiding arbitration. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: The 31-year-old lefty is coming off a career year, as he finished 2022 with a 2.72 ERA and 1.05 WHIP in 56.1 innings of relief. He saved four games and could be one of the options for saves again this season if Clay Holmes struggles or gets hurt, though the Yankees may instead want to match him up against opposing team's toughest lefties. Left-handed hitters slashed just .155/.211/.211 in 77 plate appearances against Peralta last season.
Oct 9 2022Peralta (back) will be activated from the injured list and named to the ALDS roster ahead of Tuesday's Game 1 against Cleveland, Meredith Marakovits of YES Network reports. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Peralta was placed on the 15-day injured list Sept. 19 due to left thoracic spine tightness, but the veteran reliever will be activated prior to Game 1 of the ALDS. He appeared in 56 games for the Yankees during the regular season, accruing a 2.72 ERA and 1.05 WHIP with a 47:17 K:BB across 56.1 innings.
Oct 2 2022Peralta (back) won't travel with the Yankees on Monday for the final series of the regular season at Texas, Bryan Hoch of MLB.com reports. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: The 31-year-old will continue his rehab at Somerset and could throw a live bullpen session this week. Peralta has been a key bullpen piece with a 2.72 ERA in 56 appearances for New York this year, and it appears he could be available for the start of the ALDS, which begins Oct. 11.
Sep 30 2022Peralta (back) threw a bullpen session Thursday, Marly Rivera of ESPN.com reports. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Peralta has been on the injured list for a week and a half due to left thoracic spine tightness, but he's resumed mound work and felt good after Thursday's throwing session. The Yankees initially hoped that Peralta would be available for next week's series in Texas, and he'll likely be considered for activation as long as he continues to feel good.
Sep 22 2022Peralta (back) will be placed on the injured list with thoracic spine tightness Thursday, retroactive to Sept. 19, Bryan Hoch of MLB.com reports. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Peralta struggled Sunday against the Brewers, giving up two runs on three hits while failing to record an out. The move is backdated to Monday, and the Yankees hope that the left-hander will be available for the team's final series of the regular season since his injury isn't considered particularly serious, Brendan Kuty of The Newark Star-Ledger reports.
Sep 13 2022Peralta picked up the save Tuesday against Boston. He allowed no runs on one hit and no walks while striking out one over two-thirds of an inning. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Peralta entered the game up 7-4 with one out and two runners on in the 10th inning. He allowed a single and a sacrifice fly to score both inherited runners but struck out Rafael Devers to end the game and record his fourth save of the season and first since Aug. 23. Peralta has been effective for the Yankees as he owns a 2.41 ERA and 1.00 WHIP through 56 innings this season.
Aug 26 2022Peralta allowed a run on two hits and struck out two in one inning to earn the save in Friday's 3-2 win over the Athletics. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: It wasn't the sharpest of outings, but Peralta was able to protect a two-run lead. This was the second straight appearance in which he's earned a save. As a high-leverage lefty, he could be in line for some matchup-based opportunities in the ninth inning while Clay Holmes (back) and Scott Effross (shoulder) are on the injured list. Peralta has pitched to a solid 2.57 ERA, 1.06 WHIP and 40:17 K:BB through 49 innings this year while adding three saves, eight holds and a 2-3 record in 48 appearances.
Aug 24 2022Peralta recorded the final out of Tuesday's 4-2 win over the Mets to pick up his second save of the season. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Clarke Schmidt tried to do his best Goose Gossage impression and save the rest of the bullpen by working three scoreless innings in relief of Frankie Montas, but after Schmidt loaded the bases with two outs in the ninth inning, Peralta was brought in and got Francisco Lindor to fly out. With Clay Holmes (back) and Scott Effross (shoulder) both on the injured list and Aroldis Chapman still untrustworthy, just about about Yankees reliever could find themselves in a save situation, but Peralta might be the top high-leverage lefty the club has at the moment. On the season, he sports a 2.44 ERA, 1.04 WHIP and 38:17 K:BB through 48 innings with two wins and eight holds in addition to his saves.
Jul 8 2022Peralta earned a hold against the Red Sox on Thursday, pitching 1.1 perfect innings during which he struck out two batters. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Peralta needed only 12 pitches to retire four hitters, and he finished with his seventh straight scoreless outing. Over that span, he's allowed only two hits and posted a 9:3 K:BB over 6.2 innings. Peralta has been one of New York's best relievers this season, posting a 1.99 ERA, 0.92 WHIP and 25:10 K:BB across 31.2 frames. He's registered eight holds, a save and two wins.
Jun 21 2022Peralta (2-1) earned the win over Tampa Bay on Monday, pitching a scoreless inning during which he allowed one walk and struck out one batter. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Peralta was called upon in the bottom of the ninth after the Yankees had taken a two-run lead in the top of the frame. He allowed a walk to begin his outing and also had a batter reach base on an error behind him, but the left-hander was able to close out the contest without allowing any runs to score. Though the situation in which he entered would typically net Peralta a save, the official scorer instead decided to credit him with the win per MLB Rule 9.17(c).
Jun 16 2022Peralta earned a hold against the Rays on Wednesday, striking out three batters over 1.2 perfect innings. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Peralta relieved starter Nestor Cortes with a pair of runners on base and one out in the sixth inning. He kept Tampa Bay off the scoreboard by retiring two straight batters and followed with a perfect seventh frame that included two strikeouts. Peralta has thrown eight scoreless innings over his past seven appearances and has been outstanding overall this season, posting a 1.50 ERA, 0.88 WHIP and 16:6 K:BB over 24 frames while recording six holds and one save.
Jun 2 2022Peralta allowed one walk and struck out two across 1.1 scoreless innings to earn the save in the first game of Thursday's doubleheader against the Angels. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Peralta entered the game with a five-run lead but with the bases loaded. He retired Jared Walsh to end the threat and closed out the final frame without incident. It was Peralta's first save of the season, and he doesn't figure to find himself in the closer role often with both Aroldis Chapman (Achilles) and Clay Holmes occupying the ninth inning. Even so, Peralta has had an effective start to the campaign by maintaining a 2.08 ERA and 11:6 K:BB across 17.1 frames.
May 11 2022Peralta (1-0) was credited with the win Tuesday against Toronto. He allowed one walk and struck out one batter in a scoreless inning of relief. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Peralta came on in the top of the ninth inning with New York trailing by two runs. He walked George Springer with two outs but retired the other three batters he faced to keep the deficit at two. Peralta was then credited with the win after Aaron Judge belted a walkoff three-run homer in the bottom of the frame. The left-handed reliever has been solid this season, posting a 1.64 ERA and 1.18 WHIP over 11 innings. His 6:5 K:BB isn't ideal, however.
Mar 22 2022Peralta and the Yankees agreed Tuesday on a one-year, $2.15 million contract to avoid arbitration, Joel Sherman of the New York Post reports. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Peralta will more than double his salary from 2021 after he emerged as an unsung hero out of the New York bullpen following his acquisition from the Giants last April. In his 46 relief appearances with the Yankees, Peralta collected five holds and three saves while turning in a 2.95 ERA in 42.2 innings. He'll be part of the bridge to closer Aroldis Chapman once again in 2022.
Sep 16 2021Peralta (5-3) took the win over Baltimore on Wednesday, allowing one hit and retiring one batter via strikeout. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Peralta came into the contest with two outs in the eighth inning and the Yankees down by a run. He allowed a single to Anthony Santander but finished the frame by striking out Ramon Urias. The southpaw was credited with the win as a result of New York rallying for two runs in the top of the ninth. Peralta has struck out five batters in his last 3.2 frames but has also walked five over that stretch.
Aug 31 2021Peralta (4-3) allowed one run on one hit and a walk while striking out two over an inning of work as he took the loss Monday against the Angels. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Peralta entered in the eighth trying to preserve a 7-7 tie. He gave up a leadoff single to Brandon Marsh, who would end up advancing to third on two groundouts before being brought home on a base hit from Juan Lagares. Raisel Iglesias would shut the Yankees down the following inning to end the game. Monday's run was Peralta's first given up in 11 appearances this month. He now sits at a 3.76 ERA, 1.25 WHIP and 29:12 K:BB over 38.1 innings.
Aug 24 2021Peralta worked a scoreless third of an inning Tuesday night, nabbing the save in the Yankees' 5-4 win over the Braves. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Peralta was summoned from the bullpen after Aroldis Chapman walked Jorge Soler with the bases loaded to bring the Braves within one. Facing Freddie Freeman with nowhere to put him, Peralta got the five-time All-Star to fly out to end the game. The left-hander has yet to allow a run in 10 August appearances.
Aug 15 2021Peralta worked around one hit to earn a two-out save against the White Sox on Sunday. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Peralta inherited a one-out, two-on threat and allowed one run to score on a Tim Anderson base hit. He then induced a game-ending double play, escaping with his fourth save of the year after just five pitches. He's tossed 7.1 innings with seven strikeouts, one unearned run and a pair of saves over his last six appearances.
Aug 10 2021Peralta earned the save against the Royals on Monday, allowing an unearned run on two hits in one inning. He struck out one. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Four different Yankees relievers were charged with a blown save in the contest as Kansas City erased a deficit in each of the seventh, eighth, ninth and 10th innings. New York put up three runs in the top of the 11th and turned the ball over to Peralta to seal the win, which he succeeded in doing despite allowing a pair of hits. The save was the southpaw's third of the season and first since joining the Yankees on April 27. He has four holds over 25 games with New York but has mostly worked in a low-leverage role and occasionally as an opener.
Aug 7 2021Peralta didn't factor into the decision Friday against Seattle after tossing 1.2 scoreless innings, allowing two hits and fanning two. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Peralta was reinstated from COVID-19 injured list Thursday. As expected, he didn't pitch deep into the game and only recorded five outs before being lifted. That said, this was his longest outing of the campaign since he hadn't completed more than 1.1 innings in any outing this season prior to Friday's. He now owns a 4.94 ERA on the season.
Aug 5 2021Peralta will start Friday's game against Seattle, Erik Boland of Newsday reports. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Peralta was reinstated from COVID-19 injured list Thursday and Friday's start will mark his first appearance since. He isn't likely to work deep into the game, as he hasn't completed more than 1.1 innings in any outing this season. A bulk reliever will likely follow Peralta, with Stephen Ridings and Albert Abreu candidates to work multiple innings.
Jul 29 2021Peralta (illness) will begin a rehab assignment with Double-A Somerset on Thursday. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Peralta has been out for two weeks after testing positive for COVID-19. Given the relatively brief nature of his absence, he probably won't need too many rehab outings before he's ready to return.
Jul 25 2021Peralta (illness) threw a bullpen session at the Yankees' Double-A stadium in Somerset on Saturday, Mike Ashmore of PatriotsBaseball.com reports. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Peralta was one of several Yankees to test positive for COVID-19 in mid-July, and he is just beginning to work his way back into game shape. According to Julio Mosquera, manager of the Double-A Somerset Patriots, Peralta is "trying to get his feet back under him and make sure body responds the right way." The lefty reliever could go on a minor-league rehab assignment prior to being activated, Bryan Hoch of MLB.com reports.
Jul 15 2021Peralta tested positive for COVID-19 on Thursday, James Wagner of The New York Times reports. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Manager Brian Cashman revealed Thursday that Peralta was one of at least three Yankees who have tested positive for the virus. The southpaw will be away from the team for at least 10 days, but his return timetable depends on how quickly he's able to clear the league's health and safety protocols following his 10-day absence.
Jul 4 2021Peralta will remain on the Yankees' active roster after Tyler Wade was optioned to Triple-A Scranton/Wilkes-Barre on Sunday, Brendan Kuty of The Newark Star-Ledger reports. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Peralta was reinstated from the 10-day injured list Sunday, and he served as the 27th man during the team's doubleheader against the Mets. The southpaw didn't appear in either of the two games, but he'll remain in the major-league bullpen going forward. Peralta has posted a 5.32 ERA and 1.39 WHIP in 23.2 innings across 30 relief appearances this year.
Jul 1 2021Yankees manager Aaron Boone recently stated that Peralta (back) is "close to getting over the hump," MLB.com reports. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Peralta has been on the 10-day IL due to a low-back strain since June 26, though the move was deemed retroactive to June 23. Despite Boone's comments, it's not yet known if he'll be ready to return to the active roster when first eligible.
Jun 26 2021Peralta was placed on the 10-day injured list with a low back strain Saturday, retroactive to June 23. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Peralta hasn't pitched since June 18, and he's apparently been dealing with a back issue that will force him to miss additional time. It's not yet clear whether he'll need to spend more than the minimum of 10 days on the shelf, but Albert Abreu and Brooks Kriske were recalled as part of a corresponding move.
Jun 18 2021Peralta (3-2) allowed three runs on three hits and no walks while striking out one in 1.1 innings to take the loss against the Athletics on Friday. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Peralta had tossed 1.2 scoreless innings across his last two appearances, but he gave up a three-run homer in the top of the sixth inning that proved to be the difference in Friday's contest. The southpaw now carries a 5.32 ERA and 1.39 WHIP in 23.2 innings this season.
May 19 2021Peralta (1-0) was credited with the win Tuesday against Texas, allowing one hit and striking out one over one inning. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Starter Jameson Taillon made it through only 4.1 frames, opening the door for Peralta to grab his first win as a Yankee. The right-hander picked up two victories with the Giants earlier in the campaign, so his record now stands at 3-1. Since joining the Yankees in late April, Peralta has posted a 2.84 ERA, 0.79 WHIP and 7:2 K:BB across 6.1 innings.
Apr 27 2021Peralta was traded from the Giants to the Yankees on Tuesday in exchange for Mike Tauchman, Jack Curry of YES Network reports. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: The 29-year-old appeared 10 games for the Giants this season, posting a 5.40 ERA, 1.68 WHIP and 8:3 K:BB over 8.1 innings. Peralta should fill a middle-relief role and provide lefty depth in the bullpen for the Yankees.
Apr 21 2021Peralta (2-1) allowed a run on two hits and a walk with one strikeout in one-third of an inning in Wednesday's loss to the Phillies. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Peralta entered the game in the ninth inning with the score tied 5-5, and he worked into a jam. Andrew Knapp hit a walkoff single to leave Peralta with the loss. The 29-year-old southpaw has a 4.91 ERA, 1.64 WHIP and 7:3 K:BB across 7.1 innings this season. He's also picked up two saves and a blown save, but he's not expected to get much late-inning work with Jake McGee locked in as the Giants' closer.
Apr 20 2021Peralta struck out one in a perfect ninth inning Monday to record his second save of the season in a 2-0 win over the Phillies. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: After picking up his first career save in the 10th inning a couple weeks ago, Peralta's second came in more conventional fashion, as manager Gabe Kapler turned to the southpaw in a save situation with Jake McGee unavailable while recovering from the COVID-19 vaccine. Peralta hasn't pitched poorly this season by any means, posting a 3.86 ERA and 6:2 K:BB through seven innings with two wins in addition to his surprising saves. However, Kapler's track record when it comes to bullpen usage offers no clues as to whether Peralta is now a trusted part of the Giants' late-inning crew or won't see another save chance the rest of the year.
Apr 14 2021Peralta (2-0) allowed a run on two hits over one inning to earn the win Tuesday versus the Reds. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Peralta allowed a game-tying RBI single to Alex Blandino in the seventh inning, which stuck him with a blown save. The Giants retook the lead in the bottom of the seventh and held onto it, which gave Peralta his second win in five outings. He's pitched to a 1.80 ERA, 1.00 WHIP and four strikeouts across five innings. He's also notched a save, but the 29-year-old won't often see such opportunities with Jake McGee and Tyler Rogers commanding the late innings so far.
Apr 7 2021Peralta didn't allow a baserunner and struck out one across one inning to pick up the save Wednesday against the Padres. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Peralta entered the game in the 10th inning with a one-run lead and managed to strand the runner starting at second base. He earned the save opportunity because both Tyler Rogers and Jake McGee pitched prior to extra frames. While he's not likely to earn many more saves this season barring injury, Peralta pitched has pitched a scoreless three innings to begin the campaign.
Apr 2 2021Peralta (1-0) struck out two over 1.1 perfect innings to earn the win Friday versus the Mariners. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Peralta relieved Johnny Cueto and finished the sixth inning before retiring the side in the seventh. The 29-year-old Peralta enjoyed his best major-league season in 2020 with a 3.29 ERA, 1.21 WHIP and 25:11 K:BB across 27.1 innings. The southpaw hasn't recorded a save in the big leagues yet, so expect him to continue seeing most of his appearances in the middle innings.
Dec 2 2020Peralta agreed to a one-year, $925,000 deal with the Giants on Wednesday, Jon Heyman of MLB Network reports. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: The 29-year-old lefty logged a career-best 3.29 ERA in 27.1 innings (25 appearances) last season. His 12.3 K-BB% was his best rate since 2017. He should work in the middle innings for the Giants.
Sep 19 2020Peralta was recalled by the Giants on Saturday. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Peralta didn't have to wait long for his next opportunity after getting demoted Friday. With Alex Dickerson landing on the paternity list, he's allowed to return before spending 10 days off the roster. He's certainly looked like he belongs in the big leagues this season, as he owns a 3.91 ERA and a 1.30 WHIP.
Sep 18 2020Peralta was optioned to the Giants' alternate training site Friday. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Peralta had been on the big-league roster all season and performed well enough, posting a 3.91 ERA and a 1.30 WHIP in 23 innings of relief work. Whether or not he'll get another opportunity down the stretch remains to be seen. Andrew Suarez was recalled in a corresponding move.
Dec 2 2019Peralta and the Giants agreed to terms on a one-year, $850,000 contract Monday, Ken Rosenthal of The Athletic reports. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: The Giants scooped Peralta off waivers in early September. In 39.2 innings with Cincinnati and San Francisco, the lefty posted a 5.67 ERA.
Sep 7 2019Peralta was claimed off waivers by the Giants on Saturday. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Peralta hasn't been very good in 34 innings for the Reds this season, posting a 6.09 ERA in 34 innings. His 17.9 percent strikeout rate and 9.9 percent walk rate are both worse than average. He'll get to pitch in a pitcher-friendly home park for the first time in his career in San Francisco, but his career 5.00 ERA doesn't look particularly good even when Great American Ballpark is factored in.

Jun 6 2018Peralta gave up a home run to the Rockies' Carlos Gonzalez in Tuesday's loss and allowed three runs overall, raising his ERA to 4.94 in the process.While this was the first homer allowed by Peralta in 2018, he has given up 27 hits and 23 walks in 27.1 innings so far. The fact that this was his first homer allowed is the only thing keeping his ERA from stratospheric levels. Though he has five holds on the season, he's been used less frequently in high-leverage situations lately.
Apr 30 2018Peralta allowed three runs on a hit and two walks while retiring two batters in Monday's loss to the Brewers.Perversely, he also managed to pick up his second hold of the season - only because he exited the game with two runners on and the Reds still leading, only to see his inherited runners score. His ERA climbed to 4.40 with the outing.
Apr 8 2018Peralta threw two perfect innings Saturday against the Pirates and picked up the win when the Reds rallied in the eighth inning.Peralta has thrown four scoreless innings to start the season, including the two Saturday that included three strikeouts. He got off to a great start last year, but wilted a bit over the second half due to overuse. On its surface, the Reds' rotation looks a little better this season, so perhaps their key relievers won't be as taxed.
Apr 2 2018Peralta snagged his first hold of the year in Monday's win over the Cubs, but needed some help from closer Raisel Iglesias to get out of the eighth inning.Peralta struck out the first two batters he faced, but then allowed a walk to Ben Zobrist and a single to Ian Happ before getting lifted for Iglesias. He has already pitched in three of the Reds' first four games, which is a concern given how his performance declined after heavy early use last year.
Sep 3 2017Peralta left Saturday's game in the eighth inning with what appeared to be a right hip injury, The Cincinnati Enquirer reports.Peralta will likely be unavailable Sunday, and will undergo further evaluation when the team returns to Cincinnati on Monday. It was clear something wasn't quite right Saturday when Peralta allowed four earned runs and only recorded one out, and it now seems as if the problem might have been something physical. There hadn't been much fantasy appeal here to start with, though Peralta has collected a career-best 13 holds this season. Consider the reliever day-to-day.
Aug 23 2017Peralta (3-4) gave up three runs on four hits while recording just two outs against the Cubs on Tuesday, sticking him in the loss column.He's been one of the bright spots in Cincy's bullpen this year, but Peralta has had his stats damaged by a few blowups like this one. The 26-year-old lefty can't be expected to provide much fantasy value outside of deeper leagues that count holds.
Jul 15 2017Peralta has struck out 38 in 40.2 innings with an ERA of 3.10.The Reds' young reliever has been pretty successful keeping batters off base with a low WHIP of 0.93. Despite the sub-1.00 mark, the five long balls have been part of what's gotten to the Dominican reliever. The velocity is high, a good indicator that Peralta's stats, specifically strikeouts, should improve as he continues to get experience in the majors.
Jun 22 2017Peralta has allowed runs in his last two outings and multiple baserunners in his last three outings.In what seems to be a related note, Peralta leads the Reds in appearances, pitching in 32 games so far this season. After an electric start, he has given up five runs in his last two outings, raising his ERA to 3.73. His drop in performance is a microcosm of the Reds' overworked bullpen, as they have worked a greater percentage of their team's innings than any other major league team.
Jun 3 2017Peralta has struck out 28 in 23.1 innings this season with an ERA of 3.09.Peralta's WHIP after the first two months sits at 0.94, down from his 2.45 mark in 7.1 innings last year. His efficiency at keeping guys off base does not come too much as a surprise. Almost every time Peralta has been promoted in the Reds' farm system, he has lowered his WHIP from his previous stop. However, his career best came last year for Triple-A Louisville when it was 1.16, so whether or not he can continue to keep batters off base at this rate in the majors should be looked at with a bit of skepticism.
May 12 2017Peralta (2-0) gave up only one hit over 1.1 scoreless innings in Thursday's 3-2 win over the Giants. He struck out two.Peralta got his four outs over an efficient 20 pitches, 14 of which he threw for strikes. The 25-year-old southpaw now has four straight scoreless outings, and in nine out of his last 10 trips to the mound. Factoring in Thursday's production, he's now sporting a 2-0 record, 1.20 ERA, 0.60 WHIP and stellar 21:4 K:BB over 15.0.
