Jun 24 2025Peralta (8-4) yielded three runs on seven hits over five-plus innings Tuesday, striking out eight and earning a win over the Pirates. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Peralta rolled through five shutout frames before stumbling in the sixth inning. He gave up three straight hits without recording an out, capped off by Nick Gonzales' three-run shot, which ended his outing. Peralta has won three straight starts but has completed only five innings in each of his last two appearances. It was his first start without issuing a walk since April 2. The 29-year-old righty now owns a 2.90 ERA with a 98:34 K:BB through 93 frames. Peralta is lined up for a road matchup against the Mets next week.
Jun 19 2025Peralta (7-4) earned the win against the Cubs on Thursday, allowing three runs on two hits and two walks with six strikeouts over five innings. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: All three runs surrendered by Peralta came via the long ball, and he departed at 86 pitches with an 8-3 lead before the Cubs made a late push. While the 29-year-old snapped a streak of three straight quality starts, he's now yielded three earned runs or fewer in 15 of 16 outings this season. He'll carry a 2.76 ERA, 1.11 WHIP and 90:34 K:BB across 88 innings into a home matchup with the Pirates next week.
Jun 14 2025Peralta (6-4) picked up the win in Friday's 3-2 victory over the Cardinals, allowing one run on four hits and a walk over six innings. He struck out six. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: The 29-year-old right-hander needed 93 pitches (56 strikes) to extend his quality start streak to three, and Peralta collected his first win since May 18 in the process. He hasn't been tagged for more than three runs in six straight trips to the mound, delivering a 2.51 ERA, 1.24 WHIP and 32:14 K:BB over 32.1 innings during that span. Peralta will look to keep rolling in his next outing, which is scheduled to be a tough road matchup against the Cubs next week.
Jun 8 2025Peralta didn't factor into the decision Sunday against the Padres, allowing just one hit and two walks over six scoreless innings. He struck out three. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: It was an excellent outing from Peralta, who had allowed six runs over 11 innings in his previous two starts coming into Sunday. However, the Brewers failed to provide any run support in an eventual 1-0 defeat. Overall, Peralta is 5-4 this season with a 2.69 ERA, 1.16 WHIP and 78:31 K:BB across 14 starts (77 innings). He's currently scheduled to face the Cardinals at home in his next outing.
Jun 4 2025Peralta (5-4) took the loss Tuesday against the Reds, allowing three runs on seven hits and three walks while striking out nine in six innings. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Peralta got off to a blistering start, striking out five of the first six batters he faced while blanking the Reds through the first three innings. He then served up a two-run homer in the fourth and exited the game with two runners on in the seventh, one of which came in to score after Peralta was lifted. The nine strikeouts were a season high for Peralta and Tuesday marked his first time reaching six innings since May 4. Walks remain an issue for him, however, as he's walked 14 batters in his last five starts. Peralta's next start lines up for at home versus Atlanta next week.
May 28 2025Peralta came away with a no-decision Wednesday, giving up three runs on six hits and three walks over five innings in a 6-5 extra-inning win over the Red Sox. He struck out six. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: The right-hander piled up 108 pitches (69 strikes) as he failed to last six innings for the fourth straight start, and Peralta served up a homer for the third straight outing when Ceddanne Rafaela got hold of a 94.8 mph fastball in the second inning. Despite his inefficiency, Wednesday's performance was only the third time this season in 12 trips to the mound that Peralta has been tagged for more than two earned runs. He'll take a 2.77 ERA, 1.17 WHIP and 66:26 K:BB through 65 innings into his next start, which is scheduled to come on the road early next week in Cincinnati.
May 24 2025Peralta didn't factor into the decision in Friday's loss to the Pirates, giving up two runs (one earned) on five hits and three walks while striking out three batters across 4.1 innings. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Friday's outing certainly wasn't the most efficient of Peralta's career, as he had already reached 101 pitches (58 strikes) by the time he turned things over to the bullpen in the fifth inning after walking in a run with the bases loaded. The 28-year-old righty owns a 2.55 ERA and 1.12 WHIP through 60 frames on the year and is tentatively lined up to make his next start in Philadelphia next weekend.
May 18 2025Peralta (5-3) earned the win Sunday against the Twins, allowing one run on three hits and two walks over five innings. He struck out five. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: The only blemish on the Milwaukee ace's 90-pitch performance was a Royce Lewis solo homer in the fourth inning. Peralta has been a dependable starter over his last six outings, going 4-2 with a 2.78 ERA, 1.18 WHIP and 29:12 K:BB across 27.1 innings. Through 55.2 total frames, the 28-year-old sports a 2.59 ERA and 1.06 WHIP with a 9.2 K/9. Peralta is currently scheduled to make his next start against the feeble Pirates in Pittsburgh next weekend.
May 12 2025Peralta (4-3) allowed four runs on four hits and three walks over 5.1 innings Monday, striking out four and taking a loss against Cleveland. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Peralta delivered three scoreless frames before Gabriel Arias ripped a three-run double in the fourth inning. Kyle Manzardo later knocked Peralta out of the game with an RBI single in the sixth. Peralta made his first start since May 4 due to a minor groin issue and it's possible that was a lingering issue in Monday's disappointing outing. He now owns a 2.66 ERA with a 52:18 K:BB through 50.2 innings this season. Peralta is currently lined up to face the Orioles at home next week.
May 9 2025Brewers manager Pat Murphy said Friday that Peralta (groin) is scheduled to start against the Guardians on Monday, Adam McCalvy of MLB.com reports. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Peralta tweaked his groin near the end of his last start against the Cubs this past Sunday. He was able to throw a bullpen session Friday without issue, and the 28-year-old right-hander is on track to take the hill for the Brewers on Monday while Chad Patrick gets the start against the Rays on Sunday. Peralta is 4-2 in eight starts with a 2.18 ERA, 1.04 WHIP and 48:15 K:BB across 45.1 innings.
May 5 2025Brewers manager Pat Murphy said Monday that Peralta (groin) hasn't undergone imaging, but the pitcher could be given "a day or two" of extra rest before his next start, Curt Hogg of the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel reports. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Peralta was lifted early from Sunday's start versus the Cubs due to groin soreness. A team off day Thursday affords Peralta with at least one day of extra rest, and the Brewers could give him an additional day by having Tobias Myers start Saturday on normal rest and giving Peralta the ball Sunday in Tampa Bay. More information on Peralta's status should be available later this week.
May 4 2025Manager Pat Murphy said Peralta was removed from his start in Sunday's 4-0 win over the Cubs due to groin soreness, Adam McCalvy of MLB.com reports. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Peralta didn't appear visibly injured when he was lifted, but the groin issue explains why he was removed after tossing six scoreless innings and 89 pitches. He stayed in the game long enough to get the win and to improve to 4-2 on the season, and he finished with seven strikeouts while scattering four hits and one walk on the afternoon. The right-hander doesn't believe the injury is a serious concern, per McCalvy, so he may be able to stay on schedule and pitch next weekend in Tampa Bay.
Apr 30 2025Peralta (3-2) got the win over the White Sox on Tuesday, allowing two runs on three hits and three walks while striking out five over six innings. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: The White Sox quickly jumped on Peralta with two solo home runs in the opening frame, but he was able to settle in with five hitless and scoreless innings the rest of the way. Tuesday marked the first time in four starts that Peralta allowed a home run and also the second time this year he's reached six innings. He's allowed three runs or fewer in every start thus far, leading to a 2.52 ERA and 1.07 WHIP. Peralta lines up for a home start against the Cubs this weekend to wrap up a two-start week.
Apr 18 2025Peralta (2-1) allowed seven hits and a walk while striking out five over five scoreless innings to earn the win Friday over the Athletics. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Peralta has allowed no more than two runs in any of his five starts so far. He threw 55 of 93 pitches for strikes in this contest and came away with his second in of the season, both of which have come over the last three starts. He's now at a 1.91 ERA, 1.02 WHIP and 33:9 K:BB across 28.1 innings. Peralta's next start is expected to be on the road versus the Giants.
Apr 13 2025Peralta did not factor into the decision in Sunday's 5-2 loss at Arizona, allowing two runs on four hits and four walks with six strikeouts over 5.1 innings. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: The Diamondbacks ran up the pitch count on Peralta, as the Milwaukee right-hander required 104 pitches -- only 58 of which were strikes -- to complete 16 outs. Despite being chased before completing the sixth inning, Peralta managed to generate an impressive 16 whiffs. He now owns a 2.31 ERA, 0.90 WHIP and 28:8 K:BB across 23.1 innings. The 28-year-old is currently slated to make his next start against the Athletics at home this weekend.
Apr 8 2025Peralta (1-1) got the win Tuesday against the Rockies after allowing one run on three hits and three walks in five innings. He struck out six. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Besides a solo homer by Brenton Doyle in the third inning, it was smooth sailing for Peralta, as he gained his first win of the year despite having to work at hitter-friendly Coors Field. Through 18 innings (three starts) to open the campaign, the star right-hander now totes a strong 2.00 ERA, 0.72 WHIP and 22:4 K:BB. On tap for Peralta is another tough draw in Arizona for his next scheduled start this weekend.
Apr 2 2025Peralta struck out eight but didn't factor in the decision Wednesday versus the Royals after giving up one run on two hits and no walks over eight innings. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: The right-hander surrendered a run on two hits during the second inning but otherwise didn't allow a baserunner as he retired the final 19 batters he faced. Peralta's eight frames tied a career high, which he first achieved in April of 2019 during his second MLB season. He induced 19 swinging strikes while putting 66 of his 97 pitches in the zone. Peralta has a 2.08 ERA with a 16:1 K:BB in 13 frames through his first two starts of the year, and he lines up to pitch again early next week versus the Rockies at Coors Field.
Mar 27 2025Peralta (0-1) was charged with the loss Thursday against the Yankees, striking out eight and allowing two runs on four hits and one walk across five innings. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: The 28-year-old surrendered solo homers in each of the first two frames but settled down from there to keep the Brewers close. It was an inefficient outing despite issuing just one free pass, as Peralta needed 93 pitches to record 15 outs. The right-hander averaged only 5.4 innings per start while throwing a career-high 173.2 frames last year, and his season debut doesn't inspire confidence that he'll be able to consistently work deeper into games in 2025. Even with some volume limitations, he's reached 200 strikeouts in each of the past two seasons. Peralta tentatively lines up to face the Royals at home next week.
Feb 12 2025Manager Pat Murphy said Wednesday that Peralta will start Opening Day, March 27 against the Yankees, Adam McCalvy of MLB.com reports. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Peralta will presumably be opposed by Gerrit Cole, although the Yankees have not yet confirmed as much. It will be the second straight Opening Day assignment for Peralta, who collected a 3.68 ERA, 1.22 WHIP and 200:68 K:BB over 173.2 innings covering 32 starts during the 2024 regular season.
Nov 2 2024The Brewers exercised Peralta's $8 million club option for 2025 on Saturday, Jon Heyman of the New York Post reports. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Peralta became the ace of the Brewers' staff in 2024 following the departure of Corbin Burnes to Baltimore and Brandon Woodruff's season-ending shoulder surgery. Given the lack of reliable arms in Milwaukee's rotation, it's unsurprising to see the team bring back Peralta, who under-performed by his own standards with a 3.68 ERA and 1.21 WHIP over 173.2 innings.
Sep 30 2024Peralta will start Game 1 of the wild-card series for the Brewers on Tuesday, Stephen Watson of Bally Sports Wisconsin reports. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: The Brewers don't know their opponent yet, but Peralta is going to get the ball Tuesday regardless of who they play. Peralta collected a 3.68 ERA, 1.22 WHIP and 200:68 K:BB over 173.2 innings covering 32 starts this season. The Brewers have not yet revealed any of their starting pitchers beyond Game 1.
Sep 25 2024Peralta (11-9) took the loss against the Pirates on Wednesday, allowing two runs on two hits and two walks with seven strikeouts across 5.1 innings. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Peralta retired 14 of the first 15 batters he faced but was burned by a two-run double with two outs in the fifth inning. While the 28-year-old has yielded just four total earned runs over his past three starts, he failed to log a quality start in any of his five September outings . He concludes the regular season with a 3.68 ERA, 1.21 WHIP and 200:68 K:BB across a career-high 173.2 innings.
Sep 18 2024Peralta allowed one run on two hits and two walks while striking out nine over five innings in a no-decision versus the Phillies on Wednesday. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Peralta limited the Phillies to an Alec Bohm solo home run in the second inning. While he hasn't been pitching particularly deep into games -- Peralta has gone six innings just twice over his last seven starts -- he's allowed just nine runs with a 34:17 K:BB over 37 innings in that span. For the season, he's at a 3.69 ERA, 1.23 WHIP and 193:66 K:BB through a career-high 168.1 innings over 31 starts. The Brewers clinched the NL Central on Wednesday but are currently behind the Phillies and the Dodgers as division leaders, so they'll still have something to play for while trying to line up their postseason rotation. Peralta is projected to make his next start at Pittsburgh.
Sep 13 2024Peralta (11-8) allowed a run on six hits and four walks while striking out five over five innings to earn the win over the Diamondbacks on Friday. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Peralta didn't have his best command Friday, but he still did a decent job with run prevention. He's won three of his last five starts, allowing a total of seven runs across 26 innings despite a 22:13 K:BB in that span. Overall, Peralta is at a 3.75 ERA, 1.24 WHIP and 184:64 K:BB through 163.1 innings over 30 starts this season. He's projected to make his next appearance at home in a rematch with the Diamondbacks.
Sep 9 2024Peralta (10-8) allowed three runs on seven hits and two walks over 4.2 innings Sunday, striking out four and taking a loss against Colorado. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Peralta coughed up a home run to Hunter Goodman in the third inning and was charged with two more runs when Sam Hilliard took Hoby Milner deep for a three-run blast in the fifth. It was Peralta's first loss since Aug. 12; he entered Sunday's start with a 1.61 ERA and a 3-0 record over his previous four starts. Peralta still generated an impressive 18 swinging strikes despite his lackluster outing. He'll carry a 3.81 ERA into his next matchup, which is lined up to be in Arizona.
Sep 2 2024Peralta (10-7) earned the win Monday against St. Louis, allowing three runs on six hits and two walks across 5.1 innings. He struck out three. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Peralta nabbed his third win in four starts, though Monday's start was his third time striking out three or fewer hitters in that stretch. The 28-year-old surrendered a pair of solo home runs to Pedro Pages but was otherwise impressive. Through 153.2 innings, Peralta has a 3.75 ERA and a 175:58 K:BB. He's tentatively scheduled to close out a two-start week Sunday against Colorado.
Aug 28 2024Peralta (9-7) allowed two hits and three walks while striking out eight over six scoreless innings to earn the win Wednesday over the Giants. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Peralta has allowed just one run over his last 17 innings while winning two of three starts in that span. The veteran right-hander trimmed his ERA to 3.70 with a 1.19 WHIP and 172:56 K:BB over 148.1 innings across 27 starts this season. Peralta hasn't dominated as much in August with a 23:11 K:BB over 28 innings this month, but he's finding success in run prevention. He's lined up to make his next start at home versus the Cardinals.
Aug 22 2024Peralta did not factor into the decision Thursday, allowing three hits and two walks over five scoreless innings against the Cardinals. He struck out two. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Peralta put together his fourth scoreless outing in 26 starts this season, though it's the first time he failed to complete six frames during such an outing. He racked up 92 pitches through five innings, including just 49 for strikes which helped lead to the slightly abbreviated outing. Over his last 12 starts, Peralta has completed at least five innings 11 times, posting a 3.26 ERA and 1.21 WHIP with 66 strikeouts over 66.1 innings. His next start is scheduled to take place in a home matchup against the Giants.
Aug 17 2024Peralta (8-7) allowed a run on four hits and two walks while striking out three over six innings to earn the win over the Guardians on Saturday. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Peralta gave up a solo home run to Josh Naylor in the fourth inning, but that was the extent of the damage. The only downside to Peralta's performance was that he matched his season low for strikeouts. He's also given up eight homers over his last five starts. The right-hander is at a 4.00 ERA, 1.21 WHIP and 162:51 K:BB through 137.1 innings over 25 starts this season. He's projected for a road start in Oakland in his next appearance.
Aug 12 2024Peralta (7-7) took the loss Monday against the Dodgers, allowing four runs on five hits and two walks across six innings. He struck out four. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: For the third time in four starts, Peralta was tagged for multiple home runs. On Monday, Mookie Betts and Shohei Ohtani each belted two-run homers, accounting for all four runs allowed by Peralta. The 28-year-old righty has a 4.11 ERA this season -- his worst since converting to a starter in 2021 -- through 131.1 innings. After facing Atlanta twice and the Dodgers once for his last three starts, Peralta is lined up for another tough matchup as the Guardians travel to Milwaukee this weekend.
Aug 7 2024Peralta (7-6) allowed four runs on eight hits and two walks while striking out six over five innings, earning the win over Atlanta on Wednesday. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Atlanta started hot with two runs in the first inning and Austin Riley added a two-run home run in the fifth, but Milwaukee was able to take the lead back before Nick Mears relieved Peralta in the bottom of the sixth. This was Peralta's first win since June 30 -- over the five starts in between, he posted a 4.10 ERA and 29:12 K:BB across 26.1 innings. He's at a 4.02 ERA, 1.22 WHIP and 155:47 K:BB through 125.1 innings over 23 starts this year. The right-hander's next start is projected to be another tough matchup at home versus the Dodgers.
Jul 31 2024Peralta came away with a no-decision in Wednesday's 6-2 loss to Atlanta, allowing two runs on three hits and two walks over six innings. He struck out seven. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: The right-hander served up back-to-back homers to Matt Olson and Travis d'Arnaud in the fourth inning, but otherwise Peralta went unscathed as he delivered his ninth quality start of the year on 101 pitches (59 strikes). Over his last eight outings, he's given up more than three runs only once, posting a 3.05 ERA, 1.17 WHIP and 51:18 K:BB through 44.1 innings. Peralta lines up for a road rematch with Atlanta next week.
Jul 26 2024Peralta (6-6) allowed five runs (three earned) on six hits and five walks over 5.1 innings Friday, striking out four and taking a loss against Miami. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: The Marlins got off to a hot start by knocking two homers in the first inning. They later tacked on two unearned runs in the second. Peralta walked more than three batters for the first time since June 8 and has now failed to complete six innings in three of his last four appearances. He's gone 0-2 with a 4.43 ERA through four starts this month, driving his season ERA up to 3.94 across 114.1 innings. Peralta is currently expected to face Atlanta at home for his next matchup.
Jul 20 2024Peralta allowed two hits and two walks while striking out eight over six scoreless innings in a no-decision versus the Twins on Saturday. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Peralta posted his third scoreless outing of the season in this start. He's limited opponents to four hits or fewer in five of his last six starts, though this was just his third quality start in that span. The veteran right-hander is now at a 3.88 ERA, 1.17 WHIP and 138:38 K:BB through 109 innings over 20 starts this season. His next outing is projected to be a favorable home start versus the Marlins.
Jul 12 2024Peralta (6-5) took the loss Friday against Washington, allowing four runs on 10 hits and no walks over five innings. He struck out six. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: The Milwaukee right-hander entered this contest on a roll, pitching to a 2.45 ERA across 22 innings in his last four starts. However, Peralta wound up allowing double-digit hits for the second time this season as the Nationals cracked four extra-base hits -- three doubles and one homer. The 28-year-old finishes the first half with a 4.11 ERA, 1.19 WHIP and 130:36 K:BB over 103 innings. He should line up to make his next start in the Brewers' first series after the All-Star break at Minnesota.
Jul 7 2024Peralta did not factor into the decision in a loss to the Dodgers on Saturday, allowing three runs on four hits and three walks over four innings while striking out four. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: All three runs against Peralta came in the opening frame when he surrendered a two-run shot to Will Smith and failed to retire any of the first four batters he faced. The right-hander held the Dodgers scoreless over the next three innings but did not return for the fifth after reaching 104 pitches. Peralta had gone at least five innings four straight outings coming in, though he's now issued multiple walks in each of his last four. On the bright side, he also induced 21 whiffs on the night despite posting just four strikeouts.
Jun 30 2024Peralta (6-4) picked up the win Sunday against the Cubs, allowing one earned run on two hits and two walks while striking out eight over seven innings. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Peralta yielded a solo home run to Nico Hoerner in the opening frame, but the 28-year-old was locked in afterwards, yielding just one other hit to notch his seventh quality start of the season. The right-hander has shown an impressive ability to miss bats, registering an 11.6 K/9 that ranks in the 95th percentile. Despite the lofty strikeout totals, Peralta has been mildly disappointing this season, logging a pedestrian 3.83 ERA and 1.13 WHIP across 94 innings. He will look to keep rolling in his next start, currently scheduled for next weekend against the Dodgers.
Jun 24 2024Peralta allowed two runs on four hits and two walks while striking out six batters over five innings in a no-decision against Texas on Monday. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Peralta pitched pretty well in the outing, but he could go only five frames as a result of throwing 104 pitches. That's been a theme for the right-hander of late, as he's completed six innings in only one of his past six starts despite allowing three or fewer earned runs in five of those outings. Peralta's 4.03 ERA and 1.17 WHIP on the campaign are on pace for his worst marks since 2019, though he's been able to rack up 112 strikeouts (fifth-most in the majors) over 87 innings.
Jun 19 2024Peralta (5-4) earned the win over the Angels on Wednesday, allowing three hits and two walks while striking out eight over six shutout innings. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Peralta gave up six runs over 5.1 innings in his previous start, but he bounced back with one of his best outings of the season. This is the second time he's kept runs off the board through 15 starts this year, and it's his sixth quality start. Peralta is at a 4.06 ERA, 1.17 WHIP and 106:29 K:BB through 82 innings. The veteran right-hander's next start is projected to be at home versus the Rangers.
Jun 14 2024Peralta (4-4) yielded six runs on 10 hits and a walk over 5.1 innings Friday, striking out six and taking a loss against the Reds. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Peralta gave up two home runs in the loss, including a two-run shot by Jeimer Candelario in the fifth inning. He forced 16 whiffs Friday, marking the 12th time he's reached double digits this season. Peralta has posted a 7.90 ERA through three starts this month, bumping his season ERA up to 4.38 through 76 innings. He's now 1-4 since the start of May. Peralta's next start is lined up to be on the road against the Angels.
Jun 8 2024Peralta did not factor into the decision Saturday against the Tigers, allowing four runs (three earned) on four hits and five walks while striking out three over 3.1 innings. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Peralta had issues with his command Saturday, with the five walks being tied for his second most this season. He threw 94 pitches to retire just 10 batters as he found himself in constant trouble with a lot of traffic on the bases. It was the 28-year-old's shortest outing yet in 2024 and represents the latest bump in the road after Peralta got off to a strong start to the season.
Jun 7 2024Peralta is scheduled to start Saturday against the Tigers, Sophia Minnaert of Bally Sports Wisconsin reports. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: The right-hander initially lined up to start Friday's series opener, but Tobias Myers will instead take the ball in that contest. Peralta has given up at least one homer in each of his past four starts, though he's still been effective over the last three with a 2.55 ERA, 0.85 WHIP and 25:4 K:BB across 17.2 innings.
Jun 2 2024Peralta (4-3) allowed three runs on four hits and a walk over five innings Sunday, striking out seven and earning a win over the White Sox. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Peralta coughed up two runs in the first inning before Paul DeJong knocked a solo shot in the fourth. It was Peralta's first win since April 30 after he went 0-3 with a 4.08 ERA in five May starts. He racked up 21 swinging strikes, matching the season high that he set in his last appearance. He's registered an impressive 39:6 K:BB over his last five starts, improving his season mark to 89:21. Peralta will carry a 3.74 ERA into his next matchup, which is projected to be in Detroit.
May 29 2024Peralta didn't factor into the decision Tuesday against the Cubs, allowing one run on three hits and two walks across 5.2 innings. He struck out 11. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Peralta got no run support again Tuesday, with the Brewers being held scoreless until the bottom of the ninth. Still, the 28-year-old generated 23 swinging strikes in less than six innings and tied his season high in Ks. His only blemish was a solo homer by Michael Busch in the third inning. After yielding three or more runs in three straight starts to open up May, Peralta has yielded two runs -- both solo homers -- with 18 strikeouts in 12.2 innings during his last two starts. He's set up for a start Sunday against the White Sox.
May 22 2024Peralta (3-3) took the loss Wednesday against Miami, allowing one run on four hits and a walk across seven innings. He struck out seven. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Peralta was locked into a pitcher's duel with Jesus Luzardo, with a leadoff home run by Jazz Chisholm in the first inning being enough to push Peralta into the loss column. Still, fantasy managers saw the dominant version of Peralta that garnered early Cy Young consideration before his ERA ballooned from 1.90 on April 19 to 4.17 before Wednesday's outing. Through the ups and downs, Peralta's strikeout production has maintained, with 71 K's across 56.2 innings on the year. The 28-year-old is lined up to pitch Monday against the Cubs at American Family Field.
May 18 2024Peralta (3-2) allowed five runs on eight hits and a walk over five innings Friday, striking out six and taking a loss against Houston. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: All five runs against Peralta came on Houston home runs; Jake Meyers knocked a two-run shot in the second inning followed by Jeremy Pena's three-run blast in the fifth. Peralta forced 13 whiffs -- including seven with his slider -- and has generated double-digit swinging strikes in each of his nine starts this season. After beginning the year with a 1.90 ERA through 23.2 frames, he's posted an ugly 6.23 ERA over his last five outings. Peralta's next start is lined up to be in Miami next week.

ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Peralta threw 71 of 100 pitches for strikes in his return from a five-game suspension. The right-hander earned his first quality start in four outings and his fourth of the year, though he's yet to pitch past the sixth inning this season. He's at a solid 3.63 ERA with a 1.05 WHIP and 58:16 K:BB over 44.2 innings through eight starts. Peralta's next start is projected to be on the road in Houston.
May 6 2024Peralta dropped his appeal of a five-game suspension and will be begin serving the ban Monday. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Peralta was handed the suspension for intentionally throwing at the Rays' Jose Siri in an 8-2 win over Tampa Bay last Tuesday. The right-hander was ejected from that contest, but after appealing the five-game ban, Peralta took the hill Sunday on normal rest and was dealt the loss in the Brewers' series finale with the Cubs. With Peralta ending his appeal, he won't be able to make his next turn through the rotation that would have fallen Friday versus the Cardinals, though he could make his next start as soon as Saturday. The Brewers are likely to either call up Robert Gasser from Triple-A Nashville to start Friday, or the team will treat Friday's contest as a bullpen day.
May 5 2024Peralta (3-1) allowed three runs on three hits and six walks over five innings Sunday, striking out five and taking a loss against the Cubs. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Despite the command issues all afternoon, Peralta kept the Cubs off the board until coughing up three runs in the fifth inning. He took his first loss of the year and has now failed to complete six frames in three straight outings. During that stretch, he's posted a 6.00 ERA with a 17:11 K:BB. Peralta forced 13 whiffs Sunday but threw just 51 of 97 pitches for strikes. His season ERA climbed to 3.49 through 38.2 frames. As of now, it's unclear when Peralta will make his next start, as the decision on his pending suspension still needs to be determined.
May 1 2024Peralta was suspended five games by Major League Baseball on Wednesday for intentionally throwing at the Rays' Jose Siri in Tuesday's 8-2 win, Curt Hogg of the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel reports. He'll appeal the suspension. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: The right-hander was ejected from Tuesday's contest after the umpiring crew concluded that Peralta threw at Siri intentionally one plate appearance after Siri had hit a home run. Since Peralta is appealing the suspension, he should be able to make his next scheduled start on Sunday against the Cubs, if the appeal process isn't completed before then.
Apr 26 2024Peralta did not factor into the decision against the Pirates on Thursday, allowing five runs on five hits and five walks over 4.2 innings. He struck out five. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Peralta struggled with his command throughout the contest, allowing four of the first eight batters to reach base before going on to surrender a season-high five runs. The right-hander gave up three runs in the first inning alone and failed to make it through five frames for the first time this season. Peralta also recorded a season-low five strikeouts on the afternoon after recording at least seven in each of his first five starts to open the campaign.
Apr 19 2024Peralta allowed four hits and two walks over six scoreless frames in a no-decision Friday. He struck out seven in the win over St. Louis.

The 27-year-old has been terrific to begin the 2024 campaign, registering a 1.90 ERA with a 33:4 K:BB over 23.2 frames. He's forced double-digit whiffs in each of his four starts this season, including 13 on Friday. Peralta is lined up to start in Pittsburgh next week.

The 27-year-old Peralta lowered his ERA to 2.55 with a 0.68 WHIP through his first three starts (17.2 innings). He's tied for second in the majors with 26 strikeouts in the early going while issuing just a pair of walks. Peralta's currently lined up to face the Padres at home in his next outing.
Apr 11 2024Peralta and the Brewers won't face the Reds on Thursday after the game was postponed due to inclement weather in Cincinnati. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: The game will be made up as part of a split doubleheader Aug. 30. According to Adam McCalvy of MLB.com, the Brewers will push each of their starting pitchers back one day in the pitching schedule as a result of the postponement, so Peralta will take the hill for Friday's series opener in Baltimore.
Apr 5 2024Peralta yielded three runs on four hits and a walk over 5.2 innings and did not factor in the decision Friday. He struck out seven during the win over Seattle. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Peralta looked terrific through five shutout frames, allowing just three Mariners to reach base during that stretch. He was then tagged with three runs in the sixth inning and wasn't able to finish the quality start or factor in on the victory. The 27-year-old forced seven whiffs with his slider and 13 total. Peralta saw his ERA rise to 3.09 with an impressive 15:2 K:BB through 11.2 frames. He's currently lined up to start in Cincinnati next week.
Mar 29 2024Peralta (1-0) earned the win Friday against the Mets, surrendering a home run while striking out eight batters and walking one through six innings. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Peralta was brilliant in his first career Opening Day start. After giving up a solo home run to Starling Marte -- which ended up being the Mets' only hit of the game -- and letting DJ Stewart reach base on a walk, the 27-year-old righty responded by retiring 13 consecutive batters. Peralta will have some big shoes to fill as the Brewers' ace this year with Corbin Burnes now in Baltimore and Brandon Woodruff (shoulder) out for the season, but Thursday's outing may have been a good sign of what's to come this year. His next start will likely come Wednesday against the Twins in Milwaukee.
Mar 27 2024Peralta and the Brewers won't face the Mets on Thursday after the game was postponed due to rain being in the forecast at Citi Field. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: The season opener for both teams will be pushed back to Friday, which had been an off day for the three-game Brewers-Mets series. Peralta will presumably be moved one day back in the schedule to start Friday's game, with the Mets set to counter with Jose Quintana.
Mar 19 2024Peralta has been named the Brewers' Opening Day starter, Mark Feinsand of MLB.com reports. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: With Corbin Burnes now in Baltimore, the Opening Day duties for the Brewers were inevitably going to fall to Peralta. The 27-year-old held a 3.86 ERA and 210:54 K:BB over 165.2 innings covering 30 starts for Milwaukee in 2023. He'll be going up against the Mets' Jose Quintana on March 28.
Oct 3 2023Peralta will start Game 2 of the Brewers' NL Wild Card Series matchup against the Diamondbacks on Wednesday, Adam McCalvy of MLB.com reports. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: With Brandon Woodruff nursing a shoulder injury and out indefinitely, Peralta will be bumped up to start Wednesday. Peralta put up a 3.38 ERA and 0.83 WHIP through 26.2 innings across his final five starts of the regular season, though he surrendered four runs in just three frames during his most recent outing.
Sep 28 2023Peralta will not pitch this weekend against the Cubs, Adam McCalvy of MLB.com reports. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Peralta appeared lined up for Saturday's game versus Chicago, but the NL Central-champion Brewers will instead give him extended rest leading into the playoffs. The 27-year-old right-hander finishes with a 3.86 ERA, 1.12 WHIP and 210:54 K:BB in 165.2 regular-season innings.
Sep 24 2023Peralta (12-10) took the loss Sunday, allowing four runs on nine hits and no walks over three innings against Miami. He struck out four. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: The Marlins peppered Peralta for nine hits, equaling his season-high last given up April 15 against San Diego. The results Sunday were highly unusual as the Brewers starting pitcher had produced a 2.42 ERA, 0.79 WHIP and 99:16 K:BB over 70.2 innings in the second half before this outing. Perhaps the Marlins were able to take advantage of Peralta's average fastball velocity sitting at 93.5-mph, down a tick from its normal 94.5-mph. He looks to bounce back in his final start of the season, currently scheduled to be at home against the Cubs.
Sep 19 2023Peralta (12-9) took the loss Monday, allowing one run on four hits over six innings against the Cardinals. He struck out six. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Peralta's now allowed just one run in three of his last four starts while working to a 1.89 ERA in his last eight outings (47.2 innings). However, Willson Contreras' solo home run proved enough to stick Peralta with the loss Monday in a 1-0 defeat. Overall, the 27-year-old right-hander sports a 3.71 ERA with a 1.08 WHIP and 206:54 K:BB across 29 starts (162.2 innings) this season. Peralta's currently lined up for a road matchup with the Marlins this weekend in his next outing.
Sep 12 2023Peralta (12-8) earned the win Tuesday, allowing one run on two hits over 6.1 innings against the Marlins. He struck out nine. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: For the fourth time in his last five starts, Peralta fanned at least nine batters, giving him the sixth most K's in baseball with 200. He's been especially dominant across his last nine starts (53.2 innings), boasting a 6-0 record to go along with a 2.01 ERA and an 82:11 K:BB. The 27-year-old is tentatively scheduled to make his next start in St. Louis against the Cardinals early next week.
Sep 7 2023Peralta did not factor into the decision Wednesday, allowing three runs on four hits and one walk over 5.1 innings against the Pirates. He struck out four. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: After surrendering a solo homer to Ke'Bryan Hayes in the first inning, Peralta held the Pirates scoreless over the next four frames. However, the right-hander would go on to be charged with another two runs in the sixth before being relieved by Trevor Megill. Peralta recorded just four strikeouts in the contest, the fewest he's posted in a start since June 1, and he's now allowed a home run in three consecutive outings. Through two September starts he holds a 3.18 ERA to go along with a 14:1 K:BB.
Sep 1 2023Peralta pitched six innings, surrendering one run on two hits while striking out 10 batters in Friday's 7-5 win over the Phillies. He did not factor into the decision. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Outside of a leadoff homer by Kyle Schwarber in the top of the first inning, Peralta was flawless Friday. The right-hander recorded at least 10 punchouts for the fourth time over his last seven outings, posting a 1.71 ERA with 69 strikeouts over 42 innings in those starts. Peralta's season-long numbers now sit at a 3.85 ERA and 1.14 WHIP with 187 punchouts over 145 frames in 26 outings.
Aug 26 2023Peralta (11-8) earned the win over San Diego on Saturday, allowing two runs on two hits and three walks while striking out nine batters over 5.1 innings. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Peralta had to work for it -- he needed 94 pitches to get through 5.1 frames -- but the right-hander extended his win streak to five outings. He had his strikeout stuff working again in the victory, racking up 17 swings-and-misses and nine punchouts. Peralta has been dominant over his past six starts, posting a 59:10 K:BB over 36 innings along with a 1.75 ERA and 0.86 WHIP. He's been vaulting up the strikeout leaderboard and now ranks eighth in the majors with 177 punchouts on the campaign.
Aug 20 2023Peralta (10-8) earned the win Saturday, allowing one run on four hits and two walks over 5.2 innings against the Rangers. He struck out 11. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Peralta was mostly dominant Saturday, striking out four of the first six batters he faced before surrendering two hits and two walks in the third, which led to one run coming home for Texas. He allowed just two singles from that point on while racking up double-digit strikeouts for the third time in his last five starts. The right-hander has won each of his last four starts and now owns a 1.82 ERA in August to go along with a 37:7 K:BB.
Aug 14 2023Peralta (9-8) threw six shutout innings against the White Sox on Sunday to earn the win. He allowed four hits while walking three batters and striking out six. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Peralta is on a torrid four-game stretch at the moment. Since July 26, he is 3-0 with a 1.44 ERA, 0.80 WHIP and 39:5 K:BB in 25 innings while throwing four quality starts. He also recorded 64 whiffs over that span which is the most in all of baseball. When Peralta is at his best, he can be downright elite and has the potential to be a league winner down the stretch, but he'll have his work cut out for him when he faces the Rangers on the road his next time out.
Aug 7 2023Peralta (8-8) allowed a run on one hit while striking out 13 without walking a batter over seven innings to earn the win Monday over the Rockies. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Peralta had an excellent the start, with the lone blemish being Ezequiel Tovar's solo home run in the first inning. This was the second time in Peralta's last three starts that he dialed up 13 strikeouts, and four of his last five outings have been quality starts. He's now at a 4.28 ERA, 1.19 WHIP and 151:45 K:BB through 122 innings over 22 starts this season. The right-hander is projected to face the White Sox on the road over the weekend.
Aug 1 2023Peralta (7-8) earned the win Tuesday at Washington after he allowed three runs on six hits and two walks across six innings. He struck out seven. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: The right-hander was mostly able to keep the Nationals in check, though they struck for three runs on three hits and two walks during the second inning. There was also an out at the plate in the third to preserve the quality start, which is Peralta's third in four outings since the All-Star break. The 27-year-old has a 3.52 ERA, 1.04 WHIP and 31:7 K:BB across 23 innings during that stretch after he finished the first half with a 4.70 ERA in 17 starts.
Jul 26 2023Peralta did not factor into the decision Wednesday, allowing four hits over six scoreless innings against the Reds. He struck out 13. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Peralta was dominant against the Reds, matching a career high with 13 strikeouts, but was ultimately stuck with a no-decision as the Brewers were held off the scoreboard until the seventh inning. Still, it's certainly an encouraging performance from Peralta after he allowed six runs in his last start against Atlanta. The 27-year-old right-hander lowered his ERA to 4.46 with a 1.25 WHIP and 131:43 K:BB across 20 starts (109 innings) this season. Peralta will look to build on Wednesday's outing in his next start, currently lined up for next week in Washington.
Jul 21 2023Peralta (6-8) allowed six runs on six hits and three walks over five innings Friday, striking out five and taking a loss against Atlanta. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Peralta stumbled against Atlanta's strong lineup and was taken deep twice, accounting for four of the six runs. He had given up three or fewer runs in five straight outings prior to Friday's ugly outing. His ERA spiked to 4.72 with a 118:43 K:BB through 19 starts. Peralta's next appearance is projected to be at home against the Reds next week.
Jul 15 2023Peralta (6-7) earned the win Saturday, allowing one hit and two walks over six scoreless innings against the Reds. He struck out six. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Peralta fired off six scoreless innings Saturday, marking his first shutout since April 3, and set a season low in hits allowed. Though the 27-year-old has struggled this season compared to years past (4.41 ERA in 2023), Peralta has maintained his strikeout arsenal, owning a 10.38 K/9 through 98 innings (18 appearances). Peralta will look to continue his post-All-Star break success in his next start, which is tentatively scheduled to come against Atlanta at American Family Field next week.
Jul 7 2023Peralta did not factor into the decision Thursday, allowing three runs on four hits and three walks over 5.1 innings in a 6-5 victory over the Cubs. He struck out 10. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Peralta allowed the leadoff man to reach base in three of his 5.1 innings of work and the Cubs made him pay to the tune of three runs, with the latter two coming off a Cody Bellinger home run in the sixth. Still, the right-hander was able to limit the damage on the afternoon thanks to his 10 strikeouts, which matched his season high. Peralta has now allowed at least three runs in three straight starts and in eight of his last 10. He's also walked at least three batters in three of his last four appearances.
Jul 1 2023Peralta didn't factor into the decision in Friday's 8-7 loss to the Pirates, giving up three runs on three hits and two walks over 5.1 innings. He struck out eight. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: It was a strong performance from the right-hander, who generated 31 called or swinging strikes among his 108 pitches, and he exited the game in line for his sixth win of the season before the Brewers bullpen made a mess. Peralta continues to be a consistent source of strikeouts, but not much else -- through six starts and 32.1 innings in June he posted a 4.73 ERA, 1.11 WHIP and 39:12 K:BB while going 0-3. He'll take the mound one more time before the All-Star break, an outing likely to come at home next week against the Cubs.
Jun 24 2023Peralta (5-7) took the loss Saturday, allowing three runs on four hits and three walks over five innings against the Guardians. He struck out five. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Peralta picked up his seventh loss of the campaign, marking six starts since recording his last victory. Though he owns the seventh-most losses in MLB, Peralta has given up more than four earned runs in just two of his 16 starts thus far. After 81.1 innings, Peralta holds a 4.65 ERA and 1.33 WHIP to go along with a 1.5 HR/9 and a 2.7 K/BB. He'll have a solid chance to pick up a win in his next start, which is expected to come against a Mets team that has lost 14 of its' last 19 contests.
Jun 19 2023Peralta did not factor into the decision Sunday, allowing two runs on two hits and three walks over six innings in a 5-2 victory over Pittsburgh. He struck out nine. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Peralta recorded at least nine strikeouts for just the third time this season and notched his eighth quality start of the year. Despite the strong outing Sunday, the right-hander continues to struggle with the long ball, allowing at least one home run in seven straight appearances (10 total). During that stretch, Peralta holds a 6.06 ERA, 1.46 WHIP and 4.0 BB/9, but he's still been striking batters out at high rate, totaling 38 strikeouts over his last 35.2 innings (9.6 K/9). Peralta remains a steady part of Milwaukee's rotation, and his next start is lined up for a road matchup against the Guardians.
Jun 12 2023Peralta (5-6) took the loss Sunday, allowing four runs on three hits and two walks over five innings against Oakland. He struck out five. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: All of the damage against Peralta came in the fourth, giving up back-to-back homers to Seth Brown and Brent Rooker as part of a four-run, three-hit inning. Outside of the fourth frame, Peralta retired 12 of the 13 batters he faced. Peralta has struggled in his last six starts, tallying four losses with a 6.67 ERA to go along with a 2.7 HR/9 and an 8.8 K/9.
Jun 7 2023Peralta allowed two runs on six hits and no walks while striking out nine over five innings of work Tuesday against the Orioles. He did not factor into the decision. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: The only damage done against Peralta was a second inning two-run homer by Aaron Hicks. Overall, he had one of his better performances in a while. He generated 20 whiffs, and his nine strikeouts were his highest total since he had 10 on May 2. He also did not give out any free passes for just the second time this year. Peralta has given up a home run in five straight starts and has surrendered 11 total on the season, which is something that has not been an issue for him over the duration of his career. The 27-year-old now owns a 4.55 ERA, 1.39 WHIP and 70:25 K:BB across 65.1 innings and lines up to face Oakland over the weekend.
Jun 1 2023Peralta (5-5) took the loss Thursday in Toronto after he gave up three runs on six hits with three strikeouts and two walks over six innings. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Peralta surrendered a solo shot and a two-run homer during the opening frame, which was enough to pin him with the loss since the Brewers' offense managed just a single run. The 26-year-old held the Blue Jays scoreless from there, but it's the second straight start in which he's allowed multiple long balls. He's also failed to record more than five strikeouts in any of his past five outings. Peralta has yet to find much consistency this year with a 4.62 ERA and 61:25 K:BB through 60.1 innings.
May 27 2023Peralta (5-4) took the loss Friday as the Brewers fell 15-1 to the Giants, coughing up 10 runs (but only four earned) on eight hits and a walk over 2.1 innings. He struck out four. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: The entire Milwaukee club lost focus early in the game after Willy Adames was struck in the head by a foul ball while in the dugout and was taken to the hospital, and Peralta's own error helped contribute to the six unearned runs on his line. The 26-year-old had four quality starts in his five prior outings, so given the circumstances he can get a mulligan on this performance. Peralta will take a 4.80 ERA, 1.42 WHIP and 58:23 K:BB through 54.1 innings into his next start, likely to come on the road next week in Toronto.
May 21 2023Peralta (5-3) earned the win Sunday, allowing three runs on five hits and three walks over six innings against Tampa Bay. He struck out four. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Peralta did a fantastic job slowing down one of MLB's top offenses, giving up all three of his earned runs on one swing of the bat with Josh Lowe swatting a three-run home run to plate Randy Arozarena and Harold Ramirez in the fourth inning. After opening up the season with seven or more strikeouts in four of his first six starts, Peralta has struggled to replicate his swing-and-miss numbers over his last three appearances, striking out five or fewer in each start. After tough matchups against the Rockies at Coors Field, the Dodgers and the Cardinals prior to playing the Rays on Sunday, Peralta and his fantasy managers should expect a more productive outing in his next projected start, which will likely come against the Giants.
May 15 2023Peralta (4-3) took the loss against St. Louis on Monday, allowing six runs on six hits and five walks while striking out four batters over 5.1 innings. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Peralta fell behind early, surrendering a three-run homer to Nolan Arenado in the first inning. He rebounded to allow just one more run over his following four frames, but his outing ended after putting on two of the first three batters in the sixth, with both runners eventually coming around to score. Peralta had been pitching well coming into the contest, notching three straight quality starts during which he allowed just five runs while posting a 23:5 K:BB over 18 innings. He'll look to get back on track in his next start, which is tentatively slated to be a tough road matchup against Tampa Bay this weekend.
May 8 2023Peralta (4-2) allowed one run on three hits and two walks over six innings against the Dodgers on Monday. He struck out five and earned a win. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Peralta cruised through five scoreless innings with little issue before a Max Muncy groundout finally put the Dodgers on the board in the sixth. Over his last three starts, Peralta has given up five runs over 18 innings (2.50 ERA) while recording a 23:5 K:BB. He's allowed two or fewer runs in five of his first seven starts, resulting in a 3.32 ERA. Peralta is projected to take the mound in St. Louis next week.
May 2 2023Peralta did not factor into the decision Tuesday, allowing two runs on seven hits and three walks over six innings in a 3-2 loss against Colorado. He struck out 10. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Peralta diced up the Rockies and set down a season-high 10 batters on strikes. He worked through some traffic, as he stranded six runners. The righty is delivering another solid season for the Brewers with a 3.63 ERA and 41 strikeouts in 34.2 innings. His WHIP is at 1.27, which would be his highest mark since the 2019 season.
Apr 3 2023Peralta (1-0) earned the win Monday, allowing no runs on two hits and three walks over six innings against the Mets. He struck out seven. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Peralta was given plenty of run support in his first outing of the year, but he didn't need it. The 26-year-old right-hander threw 51-of-85 pitches for strikes, and while he did battle some control issues, he was able to work around them while picking up the win in his first outing of 2023. Peralta will try and match this success in his next scheduled start Sunday when he squares off against the Cardinals.
Oct 2 2022Peralta struck out four and allowed two hits in four shutout innings in a 4-3 extra-innings loss Sunday against Miami. He did not factor into the decision. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Peralta was excellent in his third appearance since returning from a shoulder injury Sept. 25. He faced just one batter over the minimum and did not allow any baserunner to reach scoring position. The 26-year-old has been building his endurance after the injury and Sunday's four innings was his longest outing since tossing five frames Aug. 31. The Brewers are battling for the final Wild Card spot in the National League and, should they make it, Peralta could be their Game 1 starter as Brandon Woodruff and Corbin Burnes are likely to pitch over the final three games of the regular season.
Oct 1 2022Peralta will start Sunday's game against the Marlins, Todd Rosiak of the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel reports. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Peralta has worked two and 1.2 innings in two appearances since returning from the injured list Sept. 25. That said, it's unclear how deep into Sunday's game he'll be able to work, though the Brewers may be willing to push him a bit as they face a near must-win scenario to keep their postseason hopes alive.
Sep 29 2022Peralta (4-4) blew the save and took the loss in Thursday's 4-2 loss against Miami. He allowed four runs on three hits and one walk while striking out three over 1.2 innings. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Peralta entered Thursday's game up 2-0 in the seventh inning as a reliever and set down the side in order but cost the Brewers the game with a mistake to Avisail Garcia in the eighth. The 26-year-old loaded the bases on a couple of hits and a walk, and then Garcia tagged him for a huge grand slam to put the Marlins up 4-2 and saddle Peralta with his fourth loss of the season. When asked about it post-game, manager Craig Counsell defended his decision to use Peralta out of the bullpen, indicating that Peralta may remain a reliever to close the season. He now has a 3.77 ERA over 74 innings.
Sep 25 2022Peralta (shoulder) allowed two hits and a walk while striking out three in two innings in a 2-1 loss Sunday in Cincinnati. He did not factor into the decision. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Peralta was activated before Sunday's game after spending time on the injured list with a shoulder issue. Since he did not have any rehab outings, it's no surprise that he lasted just two innings and tossed only 44 pitches. With nine games to go for Milwaukee, the lefty is likely to get one more start, next weekend against Miami.
Sep 23 2022Peralta (shoulder) will start Sunday's game against the Reds, Will Aldrich of MLB.com reports. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: He last threw two innings Sept. 8 and has been throwing off the mound for only a few days, so Peralta may not go deep enough to qualify for the win. If he stays on turn, he will line up for a final start next weekend at home against the Marlins.
Sep 22 2022Manager Craig Counsell said Peralta (shoulder) could pitch during the Brewers' four-game series in Cincinnati this weekend, Todd Rosiak of the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel reports. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Peralta last pitched Sept. 8 against San Francisco when he exited the game early due to fatigue in his throwing shoulder. He also missed time earlier in the season due to a strain in the same shoulder. The Brewers currently have no starter listed for Sunday's contest against the Reds, so it is possible Peralta is re-inserted into the rotation then.
Sep 19 2022Peralta (shoulder) threw off a mound Monday, Adam McCalvy of MLB.com reports. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Peralta took a key step forward by throwing off a mound, the first time doing so since hitting the injured list Sept. 9 due to shoulder fatigue. He'll likely need to prove his health in another side session or two, but he remains on track to return before the end of the regular season.
Sep 17 2022Peralta (shoulder) threw off flat ground Saturday, Adam McCalvy of MLB.com reports. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Peralta has been on the injured list for just over a week due to shoulder fatigue, but he's now been cleared to begin a throwing program. Manager Craig Counsell said Saturday that he "absolutely" expects the right-hander to return prior to the end of the regular season, but he'll need to make several more steps in his recovery process before he's cleared to be activated.
Sep 9 2022Peralta (shoulder fatigue) will be placed on the 15-day injured list, Adam McCalvy of MLB.com reports. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: This is the same shoulder that Peralta strained in late May, causing him to miss 10 weeks. He also had Thursday's start pushed back a few days due to shoulder soreness. Peralta had an 11.6 K/9 before the initial IL stint, and while he was effective (2.27 ERA, 0.82 WHIP) after returning Aug. 3, his K/9 plummeted to 7.4 in 31.2 innings before he went back on the IL. Eric Lauer (elbow) had encouraging MRI results Thursday, but if he can't make a swift return to the rotation, the Brewers may have to go with a bullpen game for Peralta's next turn in the rotation.
Sep 8 2022Peralta left Thursday's start against the Giants with right shoulder fatigue, Sophia Minnaert of Bally Sports Wisconsin reports. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: There is no timeline for when Peralta might return to the rotation, but given that he missed 10 weeks with a shoulder strain and had this start pushed back a few days due to shoulder soreness, he will likely head for tests. Peralta struck out three and walked two over two scoreless innings Tuesday before exiting.
Sep 4 2022Peralta won't start Monday's game against the Rockies, Sophia Minnaert of Bally Sports Wisconsin reports. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Peralta was initially listed as Monday's starter, but he hasn't recovered well enough after his last start and will ultimately have a few more days to rest prior to returning to the mound. Adrian Houser will take his place as Monday's starter, while Peralta is expected to start one of the two games during Thursday's doubleheader against the Giants.
Aug 31 2022Peralta allowed one earned run on two hits and no walks while striking out three across five innings Wednesday against the Pirates. He did not factor into the decision. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Peralta didn't get many strikeouts and instead relied upon nine flyball outs to shut down the Pittsburgh lineup. He has allowed two earned runs or fewer in all six of his starts since returning from the injured list, though he has surprisingly only punched out 23 batters across 29.2 innings in that span. Even so, the stretch has helped him lower his ERA to 3.56 on the season.
Aug 27 2022Peralta issued one walk and did not allow a hit over six innings in a 4-3 extra-inning loss to the Cubs on Friday. He struck out five and did not factor into the decision. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Peralta had one of his best starts of the season, dominating the Cubs lineup over six scoreless innings on 82 pitches. He only allowed one batter to reach base and left the game in line for the win before the bullpen coughed up the one-run lead. Peralta has looked good since coming back from a lat injury in the first week of August, logging a 2.55 ERA over 24.2 innings across his last five outings. He lowered his season-long ERA to 3.69 with the performance and has struck out 70 batters in 63.1 innings this year. He is expected to make his next start in a favorable matchup at home against the Pirates.
Aug 21 2022Peralta did not factor into the decision against the Cubs on Saturday, allowing two runs on four hits while striking out five and walking three over six innings. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Peralta earned a quality start in Saturday's contest, but with the game going to extra innings, he did not factor into the decision. He threw 54 of 95 pitches for strikes and allowed two runs to score on a Willson Contreras homer in the fifth inning. The effort was his third quality start of the year and lowered his ERA to 4.08.
Aug 15 2022Peralta (4-3) took the loss against the Dodgers on Monday, pitching four innings and allowing one run on two hits and four walks while striking out three batters. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: The only run against Peralta came on Freddie Freeman's first-inning solo homer, and the righty hurler allowed just one more hit while he was in the game. However, Peralta also tied a season high with four walks and needed 92 pitches (only 51 of which were strikes) to get through four frames. He's still working his way back from a lengthy absence due to a lat strain, but the short outing was more a result of inefficiency than any sort of innings limit. Peralta has given up five runs over 12.2 innings across three starts since his early-August return to the rotation.
Aug 9 2022Peralta (4-2) earned the victory Tuesday over Tampa Bay, striking out four in five innings while allowing two runs on two hits. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Peralta allowed a single and a two-run homer in the third inning to account for the only baserunners against him. He retired every other batter he faced and completed the five frames while throwing 65 pitches. It was his second start since coming off the injured list after losing two-plus months to a lat injury. His pitch count will likely rise in his next start, slated for early next week against the Dodgers.
Aug 3 2022Peralta gave up two earned runs on four hits and two walks while striking out three over 3.2 innings in an 8-7 loss to the Pirates on Wednesday. He did not factor into the decision. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Peralta made his first start since May 22 due to being sidelined with a lat injury. It didn't go as smoothly as he had hoped, since he was pulled before making it through the fourth inning after giving up a triple to Tucupita Marcano. However, Peralta did throw 67 pitches without any discomfort. It is a positive sign that he could be on his way to recapturing the success he found in 2021 when he posted an excellent 2.81 ERA and 0.97 WHIP with 195 strikeouts in 27 starts. Look for him to try and increase his workload in his next expected start against the Rays.
Aug 2 2022Peralta (lat) will be activated from the 60-day injured list Wednesday to start against the Pirates, Adam McCalvy of MLB.com reports. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: The Brewers clearly didn't trade for Peralta, but he has not appeared in a game with the big club since May 22, so he can partly be viewed as a big post-deadline addition. Peralta threw only 52 pitches in his last rehab start, so he probably isn't ready for a full workload just yet. However, he should be back at full strength within a matter of weeks.
Jul 31 2022Manager Craig Counsell said Peralta (lat) will return from his rehab assignment and join the Brewers during the upcoming series in Pittsburgh, which begins Tuesday, Todd Rosiak of the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel reports. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: The 26-year-old made his second minor-league rehab start with Triple-A Nashville on Friday and threw 52 pitches across 3.1 innings, and the team has apparently seen enough to bring him back to the major-league club. Peralta isn't fully stretched out and may not immediately reclaim his spot in the starting rotation, and if that's the case he'll likely work in tandem with another pitcher for his first outing or two as he continues to build up his workload. He had a 4.42 ERA, 1.19 WHIP and 50:13 K:BB across 38.2 innings (eight starts) before suffering the lat strain in late May.
Jul 29 2022Peralta (lat) gave up one run on three hits and zero walks while striking out five and touching 96 mph with his fastball Friday for Triple-A Nashville, Sounds announcer Jeff Hem reports. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: He built up to 52 pitches, leaving with a runner at third who came around to score. Peralta threw two innings and struck out three his last time out, so he is trending in the right direction. It's unclear how many more rehab starts he will require.
Jul 23 2022Peralta (lat) will begin his rehab assignment Sunday, Curt Hogg of the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel reports. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: There hasn't been a setback, per Hogg, the Brewers just got their days mixed up when announcing that Peralta's rehab assignment would begin Saturday. It's unclear how many rehab starts Peralta will need, but he is tracking toward a mid-to-late August return if he avoids setbacks.
Jul 22 2022Peralta (lat) will make his first rehab start with Triple-A Nashville on Saturday, Todd Rosiak of the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel reports. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: There wasn't an exact workload disclosed, but manager Craig Counsell did say that Peralta would work multiple innings. He'll work on a starter schedule and will build up an inning per outing. Assuming no major setbacks, Peralta could return in mid-to-late August.
Jul 11 2022Peralta (lat) threw a bullpen session Friday and told Sophia Minnaert of Bally Sports Wisconsin that he felt good following the workout. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Peralta said he will throw one more bullpen session during the upcoming week before likely graduating to throwing live batting practice, if all goes well. After that, Peralta could head out on a rehab assignment at some point during the upcoming All-Star break, and he'll likely need at least two or three outings to get stretched back out for starting duty because he's been sidelined since late May with a strained right shoulder. Peralta is seemingly tracking toward an early-August return from the 60-day injured list.
Jun 15 2022Manager Craig Counsell said Wednesday that Peralta (lat) has resumed throwing, Curt Hogg of the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel reports. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Peralta has been working out at the Brewers' extended spring training facility in Arizona over the last several days, but it's encouraging that he's now playing catch. The right-hander still faces a lengthy recovery process, as he was transferred to the 60-day injured list Tuesday and will be ineligible to return until at least late July.
Jun 14 2022The Brewers transferred Peralta (lat) on Tuesday from the 15-day injured list to the 60-day IL. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: The transaction ensures that Peralta will be sidelined through the All-Star break, a development that was expected after Will Sammon of The Athletic reported earlier Tuesday that the right-hander recently resumed working out in Arizona but is still a month away from being ready to rejoin the Brewers' active roster. With Peralta being removed from the 40-man roster as a result of the move to the 60-day IL, the Brewers had a spot for right-hander Chi Chi Gonzalez, who was claimed off waivers from the Twins.
May 23 2022Peralta (shoulder) will miss "significant" time but is expected to pitch again this season, Curt Hogg of the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel reports. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Peralta was placed on the injured list Monday with a strain in his right shoulder, and he will now be in line for a lengthy absence. Aaron Ashby is the likeliest candidate to enter the rotation while Peralta remains sidelined.
May 22 2022Manager Craig Counsell said Sunday that Peralta (shoulder) will require a trip to the injured list, Sophia Minnaert of Bally Sports Wisconsin reports. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Peralta exited Sunday's start against the Nationals in the fourth inning due to right shoulder tightness, and he'll undergo an MRI on Monday while remaining in Milwaukee. While a better idea of the right-hander's recovery timetable will likely come into focus based on his MRI results, it appears as though he'll miss at least a couple turns through the rotation. Aaron Ashby is a strong candidate to fill in as a starter while Peralta is sidelined.
May 17 2022Peralta (3-1) picked up the win in Monday's 1-0 victory over Atlanta, giving up two hits and a walk over seven scoreless innings while striking out a season-high 10. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Two of the three baserunners Peralta allowed reached in the first inning, but after he snuffed out that threat, he dominated Atlanta the rest of the way. The right-hander fired 67 of 102 pitches for strikes as he won his third straight start and produced his second quality start of the year, and he'll take a 3.53 ERA, 1.09 WHIP and 48:12 K:BB through 35.2 innings into his next outing. Peralta also reached 500 strikeouts for his career with the performance, and among active pitchers who have pitched at least as many innings as him, only Max Scherzer and Gerrit Cole have better lifetime K/9 rates.
May 11 2022Peralta (2-1) picked up the win Tuesday, allowing one run on four hits and a walk over 5.2 innings while striking out eight in a 5-4 victory over the Reds. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: The right-hander fell just short of his second quality start of the season, leaving after 96 pitches (58 strikes) with two runners on in the sixth inning and the Brewers holding a 3-1 lead. Peralta has turned things around after a bumpy start to 2022, and over his last four outings he boasts a 2.08 ERA, 0.92 WHIP and 28:5 K:BB through 21.2 innings -- although it's worth noting he faced the Reds twice and the Pirates once during that stretch.
May 4 2022Peralta (1-1) picked up the win Wednesday after he pitched five innings, giving up three runs on five hits and two walks while registering seven punchouts against the Reds. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Peralta surrendered two runs in the top of the first inning on a Mike Moustakas single and Colin Moran sacrifice fly. The final run on his line came in the fifth frame when TJ Friedl scored on a Brandon Drury sacrifice fly. The 25-year-old notched his first win of the 2022 campaign Wednesday while also matching his season-high with seven strikeouts. Peralta has now allowed three or less runs in four of five starts this season, posting a 5.09 ERA and 1.35 WHIP with 30 punchouts over 23 innings.
Apr 22 2022Peralta allowed one run on three hits and two walks over five innings in Friday's loss to the Phillies. He struck out six and did not factor in the decision. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Peralta yielded a walk and two hits in the first inning, including an RBI double off the bat of Bryce Harper. He then settled in and tossed four shutout frames. It was a promising outing after he entered Friday having given up nine runs through seven innings in his first two starts. Peralta will carry a 7.50 ERA into his projected start in Pittsburgh next week.
Apr 15 2022Peralta (0-1) took the loss, allowing six runs on seven hits and two walks with four strikeouts in three innings in a 10-1 loss Friday against St. Louis. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: After getting the first two batters out, Peralta allowed the next six to reach safely in the four-run first inning. The Cardinals added two more runs in the second as the 25-year-old needed 77 pitches to complete three innings. The 2021 All-Star has gotten off to an inauspicious start to the season, failing to make it past the fourth inning in either outing and allowing more than a run an inning. His next start is scheduled for Friday in Philadelphia.
Apr 10 2022Peralta allowed three runs on three hits and four walks while striking out six in four innings during Sunday's win over the Cubs. He didn't factor into the decision. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Peralta struggled with command during his season debut, as he threw just 46 of his 88 pitches for strikes. He gave up a three-run homer in the bottom of the first inning but escaped a jam in the bottom of the second before retiring six of the final seven batters he faced. The right-hander had a career-best year in 2021, posting a 2.81 ERA and 0.97 WHIP in 144.1 innings during 28 appearances (27 starts). He tentatively lines up to make his next start at home against the Cardinals on Friday.
Apr 5 2022Peralta allowed five earned runs over 4.1 innings in his final start of the spring Monday. He allowed six hits and posted a 5:1 K:BB in the contest. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Peralta was not particularly sharp during the exhibition season, giving up 15 hits over 14.1 innings and posting a 6.28 ERA. However, he did strike out 15 batters and only walked three, so it doesn't seem there is anything to be overly concerned about. Coming off a season in which he posted career bests in both the ERA (2.81) and WHIP (0.97) departments, Peralta will be a strong third starter in a rotation headlined by Corbin Burnes and Brandon Woodruff.
Oct 12 2021Peralta allowed three hits and one walk while striking out five over four scoreless innings in Game 3 of the NLDS against the Braves. He didn't factor into the decision. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Peralta appeared locked in from the start in this one, needing only 57 pitches to get through four innings of work. Unfortunately for him, the Brewers' offense has been so stagnant of late that manager Craig Counsell removed him for a pinch hitter in what appeared to be a golden run-scoring opportunity during the fifth inning, ending Peralta's day. Monday marked the first postseason appearance of 2021 for the right-hander, and it could be his last if Milwaukee is unable to dig out of a 2-1 hole in the NLDS.
Oct 2 2021Peralta will not pitch in Sunday's season finale against the Dodgers, Sophia Minnaert of Bally Sports Wisconsin reports. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Peralta has not taken the mound since Sep. 26, when he tossed 5.1 innings against the Mets. Instead, the team will focus on getting him ready for the postseason, and he'll conclude the regular season with a 2.81 ERA and 0.97 WHIP with 195 strikeouts across 144.1 frames. The Brewers have not announced Sunday's starter, though manager Craig Counsell also ruled out Brandon Woodruff from consideration.
Sep 27 2021Peralta (10-5) allowed four runs on five hits and a walk while striking out five over 5.1 innings as he got the victory over the Mets on Sunday. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Peralta started off a little rocky after giving up a solo home run to Francisco Lindor in the opening frame. He ran into some more trouble in the fourth after a single and two doubles to kick off the inning scored two more runs for the Mets. A walk and a base hit with one away in the sixth would cap his day at 91 pitches. He was charged with one more run before it was all said and done after one of the inherited runners came in to score. Peralta has taken a bit of a step back over the final two months of the season. He owns a 4.71 ERA, 1.27 WHIP and 50:9 K:BB over eight starts since Aug. 4. He's still been magnificent overall, as he now sports a 2.81 ERA, 0.97 WHIP and 195:56 K:BB over 144.1 innings. The Brewers could choose to rest some of their starters over the final week of the season in preparation for the playoffs, Peralta included. However, he has a chance to make one more regular-season start next weekend against the Dodgers.
Sep 21 2021Peralta (9-5) allowed three runs on seven hits and a walk while striking out nine over six innings as he took the loss against the Cardinals on Monday. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Peralta made quick work of the first two batters he faced with two strikeouts but then gave up a single to Tyler O'Neill and a two-run home run to Nolan Arenado. He would blank the Cardinals until the sixth inning when Yadier Molina singled home a run to regain the lead and then struck out the final two batters in the inning before his day was done. Peralta has now put together back-to-back quality starts after struggling earlier in the month while coming back from a shoulder injury. The 25-year-old now has a 2.65 ERA, 0.96 WHIP and 190:55 K:BB over 139 innings and is set to appear again at home this weekend.
Sep 14 2021Peralta fired seven shutout innings during Tuesday's no-decision against the Tigers. He allowed two hits and no walks while striking out nine. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Making his third start since returning from a shoulder injury, Peralta looked back in strong form after surrendering eight earned runs over his previous three starts (7.2 innings). The 25-year-old displayed impeccable command, failing to issue any free passes for just the third time this year. The successful outing lowers Peralta's ERA and WHIP to 2.57 and 0.95, respectively. The right-hander will look to get into the win column during his next start, tentatively set for Monday against the Cardinals.
Sep 8 2021Peralta pitched 3.2 innings and did not factor into the decision of Wednesday's victory over the Phillies. He allowed three runs (one earned) on four hits and a walk while striking out four. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: The 25-year-old was tagged for a solo home run by Bryce Harper in the first inning prior to allowing two unearned runs in the third inning. He was pulled in the fourth inning after only 81 pitches. It was Peralta's second start since returning from a shoulder injury and he has allowed five earned runs over 5.2 innings. His next start is expected to come Wednesday in Detroit.
Sep 4 2021Peralta (9-4) took the loss against St. Louis on Friday, completing two innings and allowing four runs one three hits and two walks while striking out four. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Peralta returned to action after missing over two weeks with right shoulder inflammation. He wasn't sharp in the brief appearance, as he needed 53 pitches to retire six batters and surrendered four runs for the first time since early May. The right-hander ended his outing on a high note, striking out the final two hitters he faced with a pair of runners in scoring position, but this was otherwise a disappointing outcome both for Peralta and for fantasy managers who roster him. The 25-year-old will look for better results his next time out, which is likely to come at Cleveland late next week.
Sep 3 2021Peralta (shoulder) was activated from the 10-day injured list to start Friday's game against the Cardinals. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Peralta will rejoin the rotation as expected Friday after missing just over two weeks with inflammation in his right shoulder. The 25-year-old may face some minor workload limitations as the Brewers may attempt to ease him back into the rotation.
Aug 31 2021Brewers manager Craig Counsell said he expects Peralta (shoulder) to return from the 10-day injured list to start Friday's series opener versus St. Louis, Tom Haudricourt of the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel reports. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Peralta was placed on the 10-day injured list Aug. 19 with right shoulder inflammation, but the injury was never considered overly serious. The shutdown may have in part been motivated by the Brewers' desire to cap Peralta's innings count; he's already covered a career-high 121.1 frames in 2021, nearly 100 more than his 2020 total. The Brewers were seemingly satisfied with how Peralta's shoulder checked out during a pair of bullpen sessions Friday and Monday, clearing the way for him to return to action this weekend.
Aug 27 2021Peralta (shoulder) impressed during Friday's bullpen session, Todd Rosiak of the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel reports. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: The Brewers have been hopeful that Peralta will be able to return by late next week or sometime next weekend, and he drew praise from manager Craig Counsell following Friday's throwing session. The right-hander will likely throw another bullpen in the coming days before the team doctors determine his return date.
Aug 26 2021Peralta (shoulder) will throw a bullpen session Friday, Adam McCalvy of MLB.com reports. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Peralta felt good after playing catch Thursday, and he'll be able to resume mound work Friday. Following Friday's throwing session, the right-hander is expected to take a few days off before throwing another bullpen. If he feels good after each bullpen session, Peralta hopes to rejoin the Brewers' rotation late next week or sometime next weekend.
Aug 24 2021Manager Craig Counsell said Peralta (shoulder) will likely throw off the mound at some point this week, Todd Rosiak of the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel reports. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: The 25-year-old has been on the injured list with right shoulder inflammation since Thursday, but he won't need a rehab assignment before returning. Counsell said he Peralta should be activated by the start of Milwaukee's Sept. 3 homestead. More details about the righty's recovery should become available by end of this week as he progresses to mound work.
Aug 22 2021Peralta (shoulder) played catch Sunday, Adam McCalvy of MLB.com reports. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Peralta's throwing session Sunday was the first time that he had thrown since he was placed on the 10-day injured list with right shoulder inflammation Thursday. Manager Craig Counsell said Sunday that he's pleased with the right-hander's progress so far, and he's optimistic that Peralta will be able to return following a minimal stay on the 10-day IL.
Aug 19 2021The Brewers placed Peralta (shoulder) on the 10-day injured list Thursday. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Peralta was pulled in the third inning of his start during Wednesday's win over the Cardinals after experiencing shoulder inflammation, but Brewers manager Craig Counsell suggested after the contest that the right-hander's removal was mostly precautionary in nature. Though the Brewers are still classifying Peralta's shoulder injury as inflammation, the team will err on the side of caution and deactivate him for at least one turn through the rotation. Given that Milwaukee was looking to manage Peralta's workload down the stretch anyway since he's pitched nearly 100 more innings than he did in 2020, his move to the IL isn't necessarily a major red flag. Assuming Peralta is cleared to resume throwing in the next few days, he should be in line for a minimum-length stay on the IL, or close to it.
Aug 18 2021Peralta (shoulder) said after Wednesday's game against the Cardinals that he expects to make his next start, Adam McCalvy of MLB.com reports. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Peralta said his shoulder issue has nothing to do with his swinging strike in the third inning, after which he exited the game. The righty's next scheduled start is Wednesday against the Reds.
Aug 10 2021Peralta (9-3) picked up the win in the first game of Tuesday's doubleheader against the Cubs, allowing two runs on five hits and two walks over 5.1 innings in a 4-2 victory. He struck out eight. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: The right-hander fired 61 of 89 pitches for strikes before exiting two outs shy of his third straight quality start. Peralta continues to impress, giving up more than two earned runs just once in his last 15 outings, and he'll take a 2.26 ERA and 162:51 K:BB through 119.1 innings into his next start.
Aug 9 2021Peralta and the Brewers won't play against the Cubs on Monday after the game was postponed due to inclement weather, Todd Rosiak of the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel reports. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Peralta will get an extra day of rest prior to pitching the first game in Tuesday's doubleheader, while Aaron Ashby will start Game 2. The righty has been effective recently with a 1.13 ERA and 0.88 WHIP in 16 innings across his last three starts.
Aug 4 2021Peralta allowed two runs on six hits and two walks while striking out nine in six innings in a no-decision versus Pittsburgh on Wednesday. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Unfortunately for Peralta, it took Milwaukee's offense until the seventh inning to take the lead for good, but he avoided taking a loss. The 25-year-old has collected a win and three no-decisions in his last four starts. Peralta continues to be a pleasant surprise this year with a 2.21 ERA, 0.89 WHIP and 154:49 K:BB through 114 innings across 21 appearances (20 starts). The right-hander is projected to make his next start versus a depleted Cubs team next week.
Jul 29 2021Peralta (8-3) picked up the win Thursday after blanking the Pirates across six innings. He allowed two hits and a walk while striking out five. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Peralta continued his nearly unhittable season by allowing two or fewer hits for the 13th time. The 25-year-old displayed strong command to get the job done while needing only 68 pitches to complete six innings during the blowout victory. Peralta will bring a stellar 2.17 ERA and 0.87 WHIP into a projected rematch against Pittsburgh on Wednesday.
Jul 23 2021Peralta allowed a hit and two walks while striking out five over four scoreless innings versus the White Sox on Friday. He did not factor in the decision. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: It took a week for Peralta to make his first start since the All-Star break, and the right-hander only threw 51 pitches (32 strikes) Friday. He was followed by Adrian Houser, who earned the win after completing the fifth inning with Milwaukee leading. Innings management could be a factor for Peralta the rest of the way, but he's been excellent when on the mound with a 2.29 ERA, 0.89 WHIP and 140:46 K:BB through 102 innings. The 25-year-old tentatively lines up to face Atlanta next weekend, but he could move into a more favorable matchup versus Pittsburgh if Houser doesn't receive a start next week.
Jul 17 2021Brewers manager Craig Counsell suggested Friday that Peralta won't make his first start of the second half until next weekend's three-game series with the White Sox, Adam McCalvy of MLB.com reports. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: After Peralta struck out the side over an inning of relief in Tuesday's MLB All-Star Game, he was already scheduled to open the second half near the back of the Brewers' pitching schedule. With Counsell apparently planning to keep a six-man rotation intact and a pair of off days coming July 19 and July 22, Peralta should get ample time to rest before he presumably picks up a start July 23. Since Peralta was deployed as a full-time reliever in 2020, the Brewers are likely eager to monitor his innings carefully the rest of the way, even though he's shown no signs of slowly down while working as a starter. Peralta headed into the All-Star break with a 2.39 ERA, 0.90 WHIP and 135:44 K:BB across 98 innings.
Jul 11 2021Peralta didn't factor into the decision Saturday against the Reds after giving up three runs on two hits and two walks while fanning six across five innings. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Peralta gave up a three-run homer to Nick Castellanos in the sixth inning before departing the contest, but he was excellent the rest of the way and was just three outs away from recording another quality start. The veteran right-hander ended a streak of four straight quality starts, but he still owns an excellent 2.39 ERA across 98 innings on the season. That would be a new career-best ERA if Peralta is able to sustain it over the second half of the season.
Jun 29 2021Peralta allowed two earned runs on two hits and four walks while striking out eight across six innings in a win over the Cubs on Monday. He did not factor into the decision. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Peralta allowed a two-run home run to Ian Happ in the first inning, but he settled in with five scoreless innings thereafter and left the game through six frames with a 4-2 lead. He ended up not getting the win after the bullpen blew the lead, but it was his fifth quality start in his last six outings. The 25-year-old has a 2.17 ERA and 0.87 WHIP in 87 innings along with a premium strikeout rate, as his 12.6 K/9 is good for fourth in all of baseball.
Jun 22 2021Peralta (7-2) earned the win Tuesday against the Diamondbacks after tossing six scoreless innings, giving up one hit and four walks while fanning 10. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Peralta tied his season-high mark in strikeouts and posted another quality start -- his eighth of the campaign -- while looking absolutely dominant on the mound. Peralta has given up two or fewer earned runs in eight straight appearances and has lowered his ERA to an impressive 2.11 on the season. He's slated to take the ball next week at home against the Cubs.
Jun 16 2021Peralta (6-2) allowed two runs on five hits and struck out six over seven innings, but he took the loss Wednesday versus Cincinnati. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Two of the five hits Peralta allowed were RBI doubles, which accounted for the runs he gave up. The right-hander hasn't allowed more than two runs in a start since May 5, a span of seven straight starts. He has a 2.28 ERA, 0.87 WHIP and 104:29 K:BB across 75 innings this year. Peralta lines up for a favorable road start in Arizona next week.
Jun 10 2021Peralta did not factor into the decision during Thursday's win over the Reds despite allowing one run on two hits and a pair of walks while striking out six across four innings. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: A 37-minute rain delay put the hammer in Peralta's successful outing. The right-hander left the game with the score tied, 1-1, with his only damage of the day coming from a solo homer by Joey Votto in the second inning. Unfortunately, Peralta snapped his streak of seven-plus punchouts to begin a season at 11 starts. Regardless, over his last six outings, Peralta has collected 45 strikeouts while allowing just five runs over 36 innings. The 25-year-old lines up for a rematch with the Reds at home early next week.
Jun 4 2021Peralta (6-1) allowed one run on one hit and three walks over 7.1 innings Friday, striking out nine and earning the win over Arizona. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Peralta completely dominated the Diamondbacks on Friday, carrying a no-hitter into the eighth inning before yielding a single to Nick Ahmed. He was charged with a run after Josh Reddick came in to score with Brad Boxberger on the mound. Over his last five starts, Peralta has racked up 39 strikeouts while allowing just four runs over 32 innings. He'll carry a 2.25 ERA into next week's projected start in Cincinnati.
May 29 2021Peralta (5-1) earned the win in Game 1 of Saturday's doubleheader at Washington after allowing one run on four hits with seven strikeouts and one walk over seven innings. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: The 24-year-old took advantage of the shortened game as part of the twin bill and delivered the first complete game of his career. The right-hander surrendered a solo homer to Kyle Schwarber during the fourth inning but otherwise kept the Nationals off the board. Peralta has a 2.38 ERA, 0.92 WHIP and 83:24 K:BB across 56.2 innings through 11 starts this season.
May 24 2021Peralta didn't factor into the decision after giving up two runs on three hits and four walks while fanning seven across 4.2 innings. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Peralta might have ended just one out away from recording his fifth win of the season, but he showed swing-and-miss stuff once again -- he's fanned at least seven in nine straight appearances and owns what would be a career-best figure of 13.8 K/9 through his first 10 appearances of the campaign. He has also posted a 2.54 ERA in that span -- that would also be a career-best figure for the 25-year-old right-hander. Peralta's next turn to pitch is slated to come Friday on the road against the Nationals.
May 16 2021Peralta (4-1) yielded two hits and a walk over six scoreless innings Sunday, striking out eight and earning the win over Atlanta. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Peralta picked up a victory despite Milwaukee's bullpen coughing up nine runs in just three innings thanks to a 10-run outburst by the offense. He allowed just two singles and only one Atlanta runner reached scoring position against him. Over his last two starts, the 24-year-old has struck out 18 batters while allowing three hits over 13 shutout frames. He's now sporting a terrific 2.40 ERA and 69:19 K:BB across 45 innings this season. Peralta is currently lined up to take the mound in Cincinnati next weekend.
May 11 2021Peralta allowed one hit and one walk while striking out eight across seven scoreless innings Tuesday against the Cardinals. He did not factor into the decision. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Peralta dominated the Cardinals by piling up 17 swinging strikes across 97 total pitches in his longest outing of the campaign. Despite working at least six innings only three times, Peralta has punched out at least seven hitters in all seven of the games he's started this season. The result is a strong 2.77 ERA with a 61:18 K:BB across 39 innings. Peralta currently lines up to make his next start Sunday against Atlanta.
May 5 2021Peralta (3-1) took the loss Wednesday as the Brewers fell 5-4 to the Phillies, coughing up five runs on four hits and three walks over four innings. He struck out eight. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: All five runs crossed the plate in a rough first inning, and while Peralta was able to steady the ship afterward, Milwaukee's offense couldn't climb out of the hole. The right-hander threw 44 of 73 pitches for strikes, and he'll take a 3.38 ERA and impressive 53:17 K:BB through 32 innings into his next outing.
May 1 2021Peralta (3-0) allowed one run on one hit and a walk while striking out seven over six innings in a 3-1 win over the Dodgers on Friday. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Peralta was absolutely dominant Friday. The 25-year-old allowed his only hit of the night when AJ Pollock homered off him to begin the fifth and managed to issue just one walk for a second straight start. The right-hander was battling for a rotation spot during spring training and has undoubtedly run away with the opportunity as he currently owns a 2.25 ERA and 45:14 K:BB over 28 innings. He's next expected to pitch on the road against the Phillies next week.
Apr 24 2021Peralta didn't factor into the decision in Saturday's 4-3 win over the Cubs, allowing two runs on five hits and a walk over four innings while striking out seven. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: The right-hander checked out after throwing 81 pitches (52 strikes) and was in line for the loss until the Brewers' bats got rolling in the fifth inning. Peralta has struck out at least six batters in all five of his starts but has lasted longer than five innings only once, and his inefficiency does put a cap on his wins potential and fantasy value. He'll take a 2.45 ERA and 38:13 K:BB through 22 innings into his next outing Thursday at home against the Dodgers.
Apr 18 2021Peralta allowed three runs on three hits and three walks with seven strikeouts in five innings versus the Pirates on Sunday. He did not factor in the decision. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: All of the runs against Peralta came on a three-run blast by Colin Moran in the third inning. The 24-year-old Peralta hadn't allowed multiple runs in an appearance this season prior to Sunday. He has a 2.00 ERA, 1.11 WHIP and 31:12 K:BB in 18 innings overall. The right-hander's next start is expected to be Saturday against the Cubs.
Apr 12 2021Peralta (2-0) gave up one run on two hits and two walks while fanning 10 across six innings in Monday's win over the Cubs. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Peralta has looked absolutely dominant in his first two starts of the campaign, allowing just one run while fanning 18 across 11 innings. The fact that he walked just two in this outing was a positive sign as well, as he allowed four free passes in his previous start against Chicago last week. Peralta is lined up to make his third start of the season at home against the Pirates on April 18.
Apr 6 2021Peralta (1-0) allowed one hit and four walks while striking out eight across five scoreless innings to earn the win Tuesday against the Cubs. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Peralta appeared as a reliever on Opening Day, but Tuesday marked his first start of the campaign. He flashed tremendous swing-and-miss stuff, racking up 17 swinging strikes across 91 total pitches and also limited the Cubs to just one extra-base hit. The only downside to his performance were the four free passes, which helped to balloon his pitch count and limit him to five frames. Nevertheless, the outing was overwhelmingly positive for Peralta, who lines up to make his next start Monday in a rematch against the Cubs.
Mar 25 2021Peralta has been named the Brewers' fifth starter to begin the regular season, Adam McCalvy of MLB.com reports. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Peralta made just one start for the Brewers last year, but he'll begin the year in the rotation after a strong spring performance. The right-hander has made three Cactus League appearances (one start) and allowed one run on eight hits and three walks while striking out 15 in 8.1 innings.
Mar 12 2021Peralta tossed 2.2 scoreless innings in Thursday's spring game against the Royals. He allowed two hits, struck out seven batters and walked one. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Peralta shined in a relief role last season, but the Brewers are giving him a chance to start this spring. He has done just about all he could do up to this point, giving up no earned runs over 3.2 innings while recording 10 of the 11 outs he has tallied via the strikeout. It likely won't be known until late in the spring season if Peralta will open in the rotation or in the bullpen, but his fantasy stock would undoubtedly get a boost should it be the former.
Feb 24 2021Manager Craig Counsell said Wednesday that Peralta will be stretched out during spring training as the Brewers prepare to have him handle a larger innings load in 2021, Will Sammon of The Athletic reports. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: While Counsell didn't suggest that Peralta will be competing for a spot in Milwaukee's rotation, the team seemingly wants to maximize his use as a primary pitcher or multi-inning relief arm after he pitched effectively out of the bullpen in 2020. Over his 29.1 innings, Peralta posted a 3.99 ERA (2.40 FIP) to go with an exceptional 28.0 K-BB%. Since he doesn't have a starting role and likely won't be considered for save situations, Peralta will likely slide under the radar in fantasy, but he could have some sneaky value in the ratio and strikeout categories if he ends up approaching 100 innings over the course of a full season.
Sep 26 2020Peralta was reinstated from the paternity list Saturday. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Peralta spent two days on the paternity list, but he'll be available out of the bullpen once again for the final two games of the regular season. Southpaw Eric Lauer was optioned to the alternate training site to make room on the active roster.
Sep 24 2020Peralta was placed on the paternity list Thursday. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Peralta has pitched well recently as he's allowed just one run over his last five appearances while earning two wins during that time. He'll take a few days off after the birth of his child. Players usually spend approximately three days on the paternity list, so it's unclear whether he'll return during the regular season. However, he could be available out of the bullpen if the Brewers qualify for the postseason. Left-hander Eric Lauer was recalled in a corresponding move.
Sep 16 2020Peralta (3-1) pitched two perfect innings and struck out three to earn the win in Game 2 of Wednesday's doubleheader versus the Cardinals. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Peralta followed opener Brent Suter in the contest. The 24-year-old Peralta was particularly impressive in the fifth inning, striking out the side on 14 pitches. He's posted a 3.51 ERA, 1.12 WHIP and 43:11 K:BB across 25.2 innings this season. Peralta also has two holds in 13 appearances.
Sep 14 2020Peralta (2-1) picked up the win in Game 1 of Monday's doubleheader against the Cardinals, allowing one unearned run on one hit while pitching the eighth inning. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Tyler O'Neill started the inning on second base and later came around to score on Tommy Edman's two-out single. Peralta was not charged with an earned run and the Brewers rallied for a pair of runs in the bottom half of the inning to give him his second win of the season. The right-hander holds a 3.80 ERA across 23.2 innings on the campaign.
Sep 6 2020Peralta threw 1.2 scoreless innings in Saturday's loss to Cleveland. He did not allow a hit, struck out four batters and walked three. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Peralta had some command issues Saturday, but he was able to prevent the opponent from putting any runs on the scoreboard. Peralta has allowed multiple runs on four separate occasions this season, but since giving up a season-high four tallies in his first outing he has posted a 3.06 ERA, 1.13 WHIP and 35:8 K:BB in 17.2 innings over nine relief appearances.
Aug 15 2020Peralta (1-1) picked up the win in Friday's 4-3 victory over the Cubs, allowing only one hit over two scoreless innings of relief while striking out five. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Entering the game in the fifth inning with the bases loaded and one out, Peralta needed only eight pitches to strike out Javier Baez and Kyle Schwarber to end the Chicago rally. A three-run blast by Christian Yelich in the top of the sixth then made Peralta the winner. The right-hander has been incredible in long relief lately, reeling off nine shutout innings with an absurd 19:2 K:BB over his last three appearances, but whether that run of dominance will encourage the Brewers to give him another look in the rotation remains to be seen.
Aug 11 2020Peralta struck out eight batters over four scoreless innings of relief in Monday's loss to the Twins. He allowed just one hit and walked just one batter in the outing. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: The Brewers moved Peralta from the rotation into a long-relief role last week, and he has been dominant since the switch, tossing seven scoreless frames over two outings while allowing just five hitters to reach base and punching out 14 of them.
Aug 5 2020Peralta seems set to move to the bullpen with Eric Lauer starting Friday's game against the Reds, Will Sammon of The Athletic reports. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Peralta started July 26 against the Cubs and was pulled after allowing four runs over three innings, and he already appeared to be the top candidate to exit the rotation with Brett Anderson returning from the injured list earlier this week. The Brewers didn't play any games last weekend due to the Cardinals' COVID-19 outbreak, so the team positioning Lauer in the rotation Friday is a solid indication of where Peralta currently stands in the pecking order.
Jul 26 2020Peralta (0-1) allowed four runs across three innings Sunday, striking out three batters and taking the loss against the Cubs. He allowed three hits and two walks. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Peralta had allowed just one run through three innings but issued two walks and yielded a double to start the fourth innings before he was sent to the showers. Prior to Sunday's start, the 24-year-old right-hander wasn't guaranteed a regular spot in the rotation and his poor outing definitely didn't help his case. If he gets another turn, Peralta could face the Cardinals at home next weekend.
Jul 22 2020Manager Craig Counsell said that Peralta will start the Brewers' third game of the season Sunday against the Cubs, Adam McCalvy of MLB.com reports. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Just a few days earlier, Peralta looked on track to make his 2020 debut next week in Pittsburgh, but Brett Anderson's (finger) move to the injured list resulted in the former being moved up in the pitching schedule. According to Tom Haudricourt of the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel, Counsell told the media to not "get stuck" on traditional starting roles, so Peralta won't necessarily be guaranteed turns through the rotation every fifth day, nor can he be counted on to push toward 100 pitches in each start. Over his 22 career MLB starts, the 24-year-old has posted a 5.27 ERA, 1.31 WHIP and 11.3 K/9.
Jul 6 2020Peralta is one of three options to win the Brewers' fifth starter job, Will Sammon of The Athletic reports. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: He will be competing with Corbin Burnes and Eric Lauer. The Brewers could conceivably go with a six-man rotation where it's a tandem start on the sixth day, or they could just be very conservative with how deep they let the non Brandon Woodruff starters go. Peralta signed a five-year, $15.5 million contract extension in February, which should make it easier for him to accept any role the Brewers assign him for 2020.
Mar 20 2020Peralta will have a spot on the Brewers' 26-man roster when play resumes, according to Adam McCalvy of MLB.com. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: It remains to be seen if Peralta will open in the rotation or in a relief role, but the five-year contract he signed with the Brewers in late February all but guarantees he will pitch for the big club when action gets underway. Peralta allowed six earned runs over 12 innings (4.50 ERA) this spring, but opposing hitters had a tough time making contact against him, managing just six hits while being rung up 15 times (11.3 K/9).
Feb 26 2020Peralta agreed Wednesday with the Brewers on a five-year, $15.5 million contract extension, Ken Rosenthal of The Athletic reports. The deal also includes a pair of club options worth a combined $14.5 million. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: The 23-year-old is now under team control through the 2026 season. Peralta's long-term role is unclear, and he's yet to put everything together at the big-league level, but he's undoubtedly talented. He's made 22 starts and 33 relief appearances in the majors. His 4.79 ERA isn't particularly good, but he's struck out 30 percent of opposing batters. He's been held back thus far by a high 11.0 percent walk rate and a low 31.3 percent groundball rate. Tom Haudricourt of the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel reported earlier this spring that Peralta has added a slider to his fastball-dominant repertoire, and the new weapon may have influenced Milwaukee's decision to accelerate extension talks.
Feb 24 2020Peralta is competing with Eric Lauer for the fifth starter spot in the Brewers' rotation, according to Tom Haudricourt of the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Peralta spent most of last season in the Brewers' bullpen, but the team wants to give him another opportunity to snag a spot in the starting rotation. Peralta struggled as a starter last season but found success in that role in his rookie season of 2018, so he could have some intrigue in deeper leagues should he come away with a rotation spot.
Feb 15 2020Peralta started using his slider again to great success in the Dominican Winter League, Adam McCalvy of MLB.com reports. "I knew that I could make the slider great, but not that fast," Peralta said. "I took two or three weeks during [Dominican Winter League] games, and when I saw those moments, down in the count or in 3-2 [counts] a lot of the time, 0-2 when you're behind in the count, I was like, 'Oh my God.' I can feel it like I feel the fastball. I can throw it whenever I want." ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: The Brewers encouraged Peralta to work on that pitch in the offseason. He pitched 20 innings in the Dominican regular season and playoffs and posted a 1.35 ERA with 34 strikeouts, allowing six hits and three walks. He's got an outside shot to win the fifth starter's job, but it's a good bet he'll pitch out of the bullpen as the long man if that doesn't work out.
Sep 19 2019Peralta (7-3) earned the win Thursday after holding the Padres scoreless with three strikeouts across 1.1 innings. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Peralta came into the fifth inning to replace starter Joey Lucchesi and finished off the final out by whiffing Eric Hosmer. The win was the seventh of the season for the 23-year-old, who was recalled from Triple-A San Antonio on Sep. 1. Peralta owns a 5.36 WHIP and 1.45 ERA across 37 appearances in the majors this season.
Sep 13 2019Peralta tossed two perfect innings and picked up his sixth win of the season in Thursday's victory over the Marlins. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Peralta was tagged for two earned runs in just 0.2 innings his previous time out, but he righted the ship Thursday and picked up another win in the process. Peralta isn't pitching frequently enough to help fantasy players all that much right now, but he has been effective -- particularly in the strikeout department --since rejoining the Brewers on Sept. 1, punching out 11 batters while giving up just the two earned runs (3.38 ERA) over 5.1 innings.
Sep 1 2019Peralta was recalled from Triple-A San Antonio on Sunday.
Aug 18 2019Peralta was optioned to Triple-A San Antonio on Sunday.

Jul 25 2018Peralta was called up from Low-A Wisconsin prior to his start against Washington on Wednesday.As expected, Peralta will take the hill for his eighth big-league start of the season during Wednesday's series finale. Across 37.1 innings, he's logged a 2.65 ERA, 0.96 WHIP and 12.1 K/9.
Jul 22 2018Peralta is expected to be recalled from Low-A Wisconsin on Tuesday to start the second game of the Brewers' series with the Nationals, Tom Haudricourt of the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel reports.Peralta was sent back to the minors prior to the All-Star break after failing to escape the fourth inning of his July 11 start against the Marlins. Though he's struggled with walks over his last three outings with the Brewers, Peralta appears poised to get another look in the rotation with Junior Guerra's forearm injury creating a need for another fifth starter. There haven't been any reports that Guerra has resumed a throwing program, so Peralta could be in store for another multi-start run with Milwaukee.
Jul 11 2018Peralta didn't factor into the decision in Wednesday's 5-4 extra-innings loss to the Marlins, allowing three runs on five hits and three walks over 3.2 innings while striking out four.The rookie made an early exit after needing 93 pitches (52 strikes) to record only 11 outs, but a Brewers rally in the eighth inning took Peralta off the hook for the loss. He'll head into the All-Star break with a 2.65 ERA, 1.02 WHIP and 50:18 K:BB through seven big-league starts and 37.1 innings.
Jul 6 2018Peralta (4-1) picked up the win in Friday's 5-4 victory over the Braves, allowing one run on three hits and three walks over six innings while striking out six.It's the right-hander's third quality start in four big-league outings since being called back up in mid-June, and Peralta sports a 28:7 K:BB in 24 innings over that stretch. He'll take a 2.14 ERA into his next start Wednesday in Miami.
Jul 1 2018Peralta (3-1) surrendered three runs on five hits and three walks while striking out five across five innings as he took the loss Sunday against the Reds.Peralta threw 43 pitches and allowed all three runs in the first inning, but he managed to settle down and piece together four scoreless frames after a nightmare beginning to his outing. Prior to Sunday's start, he'd been close to untouchable in his last two appearances, tossing 13 scoreless innings while fanning 17. He'll look to get back on track in his next outing, which figures to come Friday against Atlanta.
Jun 27 2018Peralta (3-0) struck out 10 in seven scoreless innings against the Royals on Tuesday, allowing one hit and one walk on way to a win.Peralta threw his second consecutive scoreless outing Tuesday, doing so on 102 pitches (70 strikes) while recording double-digit strikeouts for the second time in four starts. The young righty has allowed just seven hits in 22.2 innings while tallying 35 strikeouts against nine walks. He'll look to keep things going in a matchup with the Reds in Cincinnati in his next start.
Jun 21 2018Peralta will take the hill against Kansas City on Tuesday, Todd Rosiak of the Milwaukee State Journal reports.Since all members the Brewers' rotation were each pushed back a day due to Wednesday's postponement, Peralta will toe the rubber exactly one week after his quality start against Pittsburgh. Over three starts for Milwaukee, he's logged a 2.30 ERA and 0.89 WHIP with a 25:8 K:BB across 15.2 innings.
Jun 20 2018Due to Wednesday's postponement against the Pirates, manager Craig Counsell decided to push back the Brewers' rotation, leaving Peralta's next start up in the air for the time being, Adam McCalvy of MLB.com reports.Peralta was scheduled to take the mound against the Cardinals for Sunday's series finale, but now Jhoulys Chacin will land in that spot while Brent Suter, Junior Guerra and Chase Anderson each move back a day as well. Since the club has an off day Monday, it's possible that Counsell could elect to move forward with a four-man rotation until a fifth starter is needed next Saturday in Cincinnati. On the flip side, Peralta may be ticketed to toe the rubber Tuesday against the woeful Royals, which would provide the opportunity for a second straight brilliant effort from the 22-year-old. Expect a decision on Peralta's status within the next couple days.
Jun 19 2018Peralta was called up as expected Tuesday and will start against the Pirates.Peralta made a pair of starts in mid-May for the Brewers. He tossed a gem in his debut against the Rockies, striking out 13 in 5.2 scoreless innings at Coors Field. He was sent down after his following start in which he allowed four runs in four innings against the Twins. In a corresponding move, Boone Logan was designated for assignment.
Jun 19 2018Peralta (2-0) was credited with the win Tuesday against the Pirates. He allowed just two hits while striking out seven over six scoreless innings.Peralta turned in a brilliant effort Tuesday in what was just the third major-league start of his career. The young righty set down the side in order in four of his six frames and limited the Pirates to just two singles on the night. Peralta walked six batters in his last start against the Twins on May 19 but did not issue out a single free pass Tuesday. The 22-year-old now owns a 2.30 ERA with a 25:8 K:BB while only allowing six hits over his first 15.2 innings this season. Zach Davies (shoulder) will require a few more minor-league rehab outings, so Peralta could be in line for two or three more starts with the Brewers. Following the game, manager Craig Counsell confirmed that Peralta would make his next start Sunday against the Cardinals, Adam McCalvy of MLB.com reports.
Jun 11 2018Peralta covered six innings Sunday for Triple-A Colorado Springs in its 3-2 loss to Sacramento. He gave up two runs on five hits and a walk while striking out 11.Peralta was viewed as a candidate to start Sunday for the Brewers in Philadelphia, but those duties ultimately fell to Brandon Woodruff, who was summoned from Colorado Springs to fill in for an injured Zach Davies (shoulder). It's uncertain if Davies will return from the 10-day disabled list for his next scheduled turn, but Woodruff probably fared well enough in Sunday's outing to garner another start if necessary. With that in mind, Peralta's return to the big club doesn't appear imminent and he should continue to pitch for the Triple-A club on his normal schedule. The 22-year-old has posted a 2.89 ERA and 79:27 K:BB over 56 frames in the Pacific Coast League this season.
May 21 2018Peralta was optioned to Triple-A Colorado Springs on Monday.While Peralta held his own in his first two major-league starts, he'll head back to the minors in order to clear a roster spot for Chase Anderson (illness), who was activated from the disabled list in a corresponding move. The 21-year-old prospect struggled with command at times, walking eight batters across 9.2 innings, but his 18 strikeouts over that same stretch offers a glimpse of the youngster's potential. Peralta will join the Sky Sox's rotation for now, but he could find his way back to Milwaukee relatively soon given his first showing in the majors. Still, he will not necessarily be the top option and the Brewers' rotation is getting healthy, so it's tough to guess exactly when his next call-up will come.
May 19 2018Peralta didn't factor into the decision in Saturday's 5-4 win over the Twins, giving up four runs on three hits and six walks over four innings while striking out five.In a matchup against fellow rookie phenom Fernando Romero, Peralta had trouble getting the ball over the plate consistently, throwing 44 of 82 pitches for strikes before leaving the game down 4-2. The Brewers' bats got him off the hook for the loss, however, and his 16.8 K/9 through his first 9.2 big-league innings remains impressive. With Chase Anderson (illness) and Zach Davies (shoulder) both potentially re-joining the roster this week, Peralta may get shifted to the bullpen or even sent down to Triple-A Colorado Springs, but his strikeout ability should land him back in the rotation soon enough.
May 14 2018Peralta will start Saturday against the Twins, Adam McCalvy of MLB.com reports.It's no surprise that Peralta will stay in the rotation after his electrifying debut start in which he struck out 13 Rockies at Coors Field, and injuries to Zach Davies and Chase Anderson made Milwaukee's decision even easier. Peralta relied heavily on his fastball against Colorado, and it will remain to be seen if he can still baffle opposing hitters now that there's some major league tape on him. But Peralta does have two varieties of fastball, and if he can mix up like he did last time out against Colorado, which led to a whopping 18 swinging strikes on his fastballs, he has a chance to continue to impress in his rookie season.
May 13 2018Peralta struck out 13 batters over 5.2 scoreless innings Sunday in his big-league debut against the Rockies. He picked up the win, allowing just one hit while walking two.This was an exaggerated version of the scouting report, as Peralta has always missed a ton of bats, limited hits and walked a fairly high percentage of batters. The last pitcher to strike out 13 or more batters during his big-league debut was Stephen Strasburg, back in 2010. Peralta generated 18 swinging strikes on fourseam fastballs -- the most for a National League pitcher this season. Only James Paxton has had more this year, when he got 20 swinging strikes on his fourseam en route to fanning 16 against the A's on May 2. The Brewers have not yet announced whether Peralta will get another turn in the rotation, as this was originally intended to just be a spot start. They can operate with a four man rotation next week with the hopes that Chase Anderson (illness) will be able to slot in the following Monday. That said, Peralta's start was so historically impressive, it would be awfully odd to send him down in favor of Brandon Woodruff or Brent Suter. If he sticks up, the strikeouts should continue to be a big part of his game, which makes him a worthwhile add in many formats, even without the guarantee of a start next week.
May 13 2018Peralta will likely stick in the Brewers' rotation after his dominant big-league debut Sunday in Coors Field, Adam McCalvy of MLB.com reports.When asked if he would be able to find another start for Peralta, who was technically only making a spot start, manager Craig Counsell laughed and said with a grin, "yeah, I think we'll be able to find one." Peralta struck out 13 batters over 5.2 scoreless innings against the Rockies, picking up the win and allowing just one hit while walking two. It was a historic start in many respects, as he became the first pitcher since Stephen Strasburg in 2010 to fan 13 or more in his big-league debut, and also set a Brewers rookie record with the 13 punch outs. His fourseam fastball was devastating up in the zone, generating 18 swinging strikes -- the best mark this season in the National League. While the Brewers could technically move forward without Peralta, he figures to slot into Brent Suter's spot, starting Friday in Minnesota.
May 12 2018Peralta will be recalled from Triple-A Colorado Springs on Sunday to start against the Rockies.Peralta, who was scratched from his scheduled start with the SkySox on Saturday, will join the big club in order to make a spot start in place of Chase Anderson (illness), who was sent to the disabled list in a corresponding move. The 21-year-old prospect has impressed through seven minor-league starts this season, compiling a 5-1 record to go with his 3.63 ERA and 46:17 K:BB. Peralta, who will be making his major-league debut Sunday, will likely head back to the minors following his spot start.
May 12 2018Peralta is an option to make a spot start against the Rockies on Sunday, Adam McCalvy of MLB.com reports.Chase Anderson is questionable to take the mound Sunday due to an illness, and Peralta, who is already on the Brewers' 40-man roster, is one of the top options to get the ball in Anderson's place should he be unable to pitch. The top prospect was scratched from his scheduled start for Triple-A Colorado Springs on Saturday, suggesting he could be summoned to the majors to make a spot start if necessary. The Brewers could also turn to Alec Asher. Peralta has been impressive through seven starts for the SkySox so far this season, compiling a 3.63 ERA to go with his league-best five wins and 46 strikeouts.
Apr 6 2018Peralta tossed five scoreless innings in his Triple-A debut Thursday in Omaha, allowing three baserunners while striking out six.This shouldn't come as a major surprise if you've been following Peralta's progress over the past couple years. He was able to make his Sky Sox debut away from the home park in Colorado Springs, which helped him get off to a good start to the campaign. His low-90s fastball plays as a plus pitch thanks to a deceptive crossfire delivery, and his slider and changeup serve as useful secondaries. He only logged 63.2 innings at Double-A last year, so the Brewers demonstrated a lot of faith in the 5-foot-11 righty by assigning him to Triple-A. He will continue to be developed as a starter, and could end up excelling as a quasi starter who logs around four innings per outing and gets pulled before he can face an opposing lineup for a third time.
Nov 20 2017Peralta was added to the 40-man roster Monday.Peralta earned a promotion to Double-A Biloxi during the 2017 campaign. Over 13 games (63.2 innings) he built a 2.26 ERA and 1.09 WHIP. Additionally, he excelled at striking out the opposition as he fanned 91 batters in that time. By joining the 40-man roster, Peralta will be protected from the Rule 5 draft.
Aug 29 2017Peralta tossed six shutout innings for Double-A Biloxi on Monday, giving up two hits and one walk and striking out a career-high 12 batters.Along with piling up the strikeouts, the 21-year-old flashed some impressive leather in the field, snaring a line drive with his back hand in the sixth inning. Peralta finished August with just one earned run allowed and 33 strikeouts in 22.1 innings, dropping his ERA to 2.03 over his 12 outings (10 starts) with Biloxi since being promoted from High-A Carolina in June. At 5-foot-11 and 175 pounds, Peralta doesn't have the frame typically associated with a workhorse, but his impressive results in the Southern League have nonetheless allowed him to emerge as one of the Brewers' top pitching prospects heading into 2018.
Jun 22 2017Peralta was promoted to Double-A Biloxi on Thursday.Peralta is one of the Brewers' top pitching prospects and has pitched great this season for High-A Carolina. He's appeared in 12 games with eight starts (56.1 innings overall), and is striking batters out at the impressive rate of 12.5 per nine innings. With an ERA of 3.05 and WHIP of 1.25, the inevitable call-up for Peralta came sooner rather than later.
May 26 2017Peralta struck out six batters over five innings in a game with High-A Carolina on Thursday and owns 62 strikeouts over 40 innings this season.Peralta struggled a bit at the High-A level last year, but the Brewers changed affiliates during the offseason, and Peralta has taken full advantage. It remains to be seen if Peralta will be a starter long-term, but he has started five of the nine games he has appeared in this year, and in addition to his impressive strikeout numbers, also owns a 3.38 ERA, 1.20 WHIP, and minuscule .196 BAA.
