| Aug 22 2022 | The Tigers granted Peralta his release Monday after clearing waivers. | ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Peralta was moved off the 40-man roster Friday after turning in a 2.58 ERA, 1.51 WHIP and 32:24 K:BB across 38.1 innings over his 28 appearances with Detroit. Now a free agent, the 33-year-old right-hander could have appeal to an organization looking to add an experienced multi-inning option out of the bullpen. |
|
| Aug 14 2022 | Peralta allowed two runs on three hits in an inning of relief during Sunday's loss to the White Sox. He walked one and struck out two. | ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Making his fourth appearance since returning from the injured list earlier this month, Peralta had an uncharacteristically rough outing. It was only the third time this season he's given up two runs in a game. That's allowed Peralta to carry a strong 2.65 ERA, and he should stick in a relief role for the Tigers, though he could potentially pick up some starts due to the club's injury woes in the rotation. Peralta has started once this season but made 18 starts for Detroit last year, when he turned in a 3.07 ERA across 93.2 innings. |
|
| Aug 3 2022 | The Tigers reinstated Peralta (hamstring) from the 15-day injured list Wednesday. | ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Peralta will step back into a multi-inning role out of the Detroit bullpen now that he's made a full recovery from the strained left hamstring that kept him on the shelf for nearly a month. He made three rehab appearances at Triple-A Toledo prior to being activated, working three innings and striking out six while allowing two earned runs on five hits and two walks. |
|
| Jul 28 2022 | Peralta (hamstring) worked around two hits and struck out three in a scoreless inning Wednesday to record a save in his rehab appearance for Triple-A Toledo. | ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Peralta, who has been on the 15-day injured list since July 6 with a left hamstring strain, needed 19 pitches to retire the side. He could make another appearance or two for Toledo before rejoining the Detroit bullpen. |
|
| Jul 23 2022 | Peralta (hamstring) threw and did some agility work on the field prior to Saturday's game against the Twins, Evan Woodbery of MLive.com reports. | ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Peralta landed on the injured list with a left hamstring strain July 6, but the team is hopeful that he'll be able to begin a rehab assignment in the coming days as long as he feels good following Saturday's activity. The right-hander will likely be in the mix to rejoin the Tigers sometime in early August. |
|
| Jul 7 2022 | Peralta (hamstring) is unlikely to rejoin the Tigers until at least August, Evan Woodbery of MLive.com reports. | ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Peralta landed on the 15-day injured list Wednesday and is dealing with something between a Grade 1 and Grade 2 hamstring strain. He'll be shut down for a week or two and is unlikely to have a better return timetable until he's able to begin a throwing program. |
|
| Jul 6 2022 | The Tigers placed Peralta on the 15-day injured list Wednesday with a left hamstring strain. | ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: He'll be sidelined through the All-Star break after sustaining the injury during his scoreless 1.1-inning relief appearance in Tuesday's 11-4 win over the Guardians. Detroit recalled Will Vest from Triple-A Toledo to replace Peralta in the bullpen. |
|
| Jul 5 2022 | Peralta is expected to be placed on the 15-day injured list after leaving Tuesday's game against the Guardians with a left hamstring spasm, Cody Stavenhagen of The Athletic reports. | ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Peralta delivered 1.1 scoreless frames Tuesday before exiting the contest with the injury. Assuming he is indeed placed on the injured list, the right-hander will be eligible to be reinstated for the start of the second half of the season July 21. |
|
| Jun 11 2022 | Peralta allowed two runs on three hits in an inning of relief during Friday's loss to the Blue Jays. He struck out two. | ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: The game was long out of reach by the time Peralta entered, as Detroit starter Elvin Rodriguez allowed eight runs in his four innings of work and the Tigers ultimately fell 10-1. It was the first time all season Peralta has allowed more than a single run in an appearance, and he still has a solid 1.54 ERA across 23.1 innings despite the hiccup. He should continue to be a valuable long reliever and spot starter for Detroit. |
|
| Jun 7 2022 | Peralta will not start Tuesday's game against the Pirates, Jason Beck of MLB.com reports. | ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: The Tigers pushed back Tarik Skubal's start to Wednesday to avoid him being affected by a potential rain delay during the early innings, but the delay actually occurred prior to first pitch, so Skubal will end up starting Tuesday. Peralta, who has an 0.81 ERA over 22.1 innings this season, should be available out of the bullpen for Detroit, per usual. |
|
| May 31 2022 | Peralta (2-0) pitched two scoreless innings of relief to earn the win in Game 2 of Tuesday's doubleheader against the Twins. He allowed two walks and struck out one. | ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Peralta entered the game in the fifth inning after Joey Wentz departed with a strained left shoulder. Wentz had staked the Tigers to a 4-0 lead, and Peralta kept the Twins off the board to earn the relief win. The righty has pitched well this season with a 0.81 ERA across 22.1 innings, though his fantasy value is capped as long as he's working as a long reliever and not starting games. |
|
| May 8 2022 | Peralta allowed a hit and three walks over two scoreless frames in Sunday's loss to Houston. He struck out three batters. | ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Peralta was used as the opener Sunday and turned in a pair of scoreless frames despite putting four runners on base. He's now thrown 10.1 innings this season without allowing an earned run while registering a 13:7 K:BB. The 33-year-old righty has yet to pitch deeper than the second inning in any appearance this season but he could be making the case for a real look in the rotation. |
|
| May 7 2022 | Peralta will start Sunday's game against the Astros, Chris McCosky of The Detroit News reports. | ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Peralta has worked multiple innings in three of his six outings and has yet to allow an earned run across 8.1 innings this season. He should be in line to work a frame or two before giving way to the next reliever in what will be a bullpen game for the Tigers. |
|
| Apr 16 2022 | Peralta's contract was selected by the Tigers on Saturday. | ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Peralta had a delayed start to spring training and began the regular season in the minors to complete his throwing program. In three minor-league appearances (one start), he struck out four in 4.1 scoreless innings. Now that he's been cleared to join the major-league club, he'll likely serve as a multi-inning reliever, but he's also a candidate to start at some point. |
|
| Apr 10 2022 | Peralta is being promoted to Triple-A Toledo to continue his throwing program, Jason Beck of MLB.com reports. | ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Peralta joined the Tigers on a minor-league deal this offseason but was delayed in reporting to spring training due to visa issues. He began his season at Low-A Lakeland as a result and threw two frames with the team Saturday. He'll now shift his work to Triple-A Toledo. Though no exact timetable has been given from the team, it is anticipated that Peralta will have his contract selected by the major-league club, which could happen as early as April 15, according to Beck. |
|
| Apr 6 2022 | The Tigers reassigned Peralta to Low-A Lakeland on Wednesday. | ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Lakeland is the Tigers' spring training site, so Peralta's assignment to Low-A rather than Triple-A Toledo is likely just for convenience purposes. Peralta was scheduled to attend the Tigers' big-league camp as a non-roster invitee, but visa problems prevented him arriving in Florida until last weekend. Though he didn't have time to build up his pitch count and missed out on the Tigers' Opening Day roster, he's eventually expected to be called up from the minors to fill a multi-inning role out of the bullpen. |
|
| Mar 28 2022 | Peralta was reassigned to minor-league camp on Monday. | ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Peralta remains stuck outside the United States due to visa issues, Evan Petzold of the Detroit Free Press reports, preventing him from converting his camp invitation to an Opening Day roster spot. Once he eventually arrives, he'll start ot make his case for a call-up, but he'll presumably still have to go through a typical spring buildup process, so he probably won't make the team right away. |
|
| Mar 16 2022 | Peralta signed a minor-league contract with the Tigers on Wednesday that includes an invite to major-league spring training, Evan Petzold of the Detroit Free Press reports. | ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Peralta joined the Tigers for the 2021 campaign and pitched well, posting a 3.07 ERA and 1.33 WHIP in 93.2 innings across 19 appearances (18 starts). He'll compete for a big-league roster spot this spring, and it wouldn't be surprising to see him spend a sizable portion of the season in the majors. |
|
| Oct 1 2021 | Peralta (4-5) allowed five runs (two earned) on nine hits and three walks over six innings Friday, striking out three and taking a loss against the White Sox. | ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Through three innings, the only damage against Peralta was a solo shot by Jose Abreu. He coughed up three runs after an error by Jonathan Schoop in the fourth and was charged with one final run in the sixth. He allowed two or fewer earned runs in his last seven starts, lowering his season ERA to 3.07 through 93.2 frames. |
|
| Sep 26 2021 | Peralta (4-4) allowed two runs on eight hits across 4.2 innings of work to take the loss Sunday against the Royals. He walked three and struck out three. | ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Facing off against one of his former teams, Peralta was unable to duplicate his efforts from his last two starts, when he allowed no runs across 13 innings of work. He was sort of lucky to allow just the two runs Sunday with 11 baserunners clogging things up in his 4.2 innings on the mound. Peralta still has a solid 3.08 ERA for the season and will look to end his campaign on a high note in his next scheduled outing Friday against the White Sox. |
|
| Sep 19 2021 | Peralta (4-3) tossed seven scoreless innings to pick up the win Sunday against the Rays. He allowed three hits and three walks while striking out three. | ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Peralta has pitched well for the Tigers, as he's now logged 13 scoreless innings across his last two starts, lowering his ERA to 3.04 in the process. The 32-year-old wasn't in the rotation to begin the season, though he's possibly pitching himself into the team's plans for 2022. Peralta is scheduled to start again Saturday against the Royals. |
|
| Sep 14 2021 | Peralta blanked the Brewers across six innings during Tuesday's no-decision. He allowed two hits and a pair of walks while striking out five. | ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Peralta left with the game tied at 3-3, and Tigers didn't end up winning until the 11th, leaving the right-hander with his eighth no-decision over his last nine starts. The good news is that Peralta was finally able to pitch deeper into the game after lasting just four innings in each of his first two starts since returning from the injured list. The 32-year-old has put together a 3.32 ERA and 1.26 WHIP overall this season and projects for his next start Sunday at Tampa Bay. |
|
| Sep 8 2021 | Peralta allowed one run on six hits and three walks across four innings during Tuesday's loss to the Pirates. He did not factor into the decision. | ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Making his second start since his return from the injured list, Peralta had trouble keeping the Pirates off the bases, though he did manage to limit damage. The 32-year-old has pitched just four innings in both outings since recovering from a blister on his right hand and will look to stretch things out during his next time on the mound. Overall this season, Peralta has compiled a 3.60 ERA and 1.31 WHIP across 70 innings (14 starts). |
|
| Sep 1 2021 | Peralta (finger) gave up three runs (two earned) on four hits and a walk over four innings in Wednesday's no-decision against Oakland. He also had a pair of strikeouts. | ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Peralta was making his return to the mound after a 10-day stay on the injured list. He gave up a sacrifice fly to Matt Olson in the first inning, put up zeroes for the next two frames, then gave up a Starling Marte solo homer and Jed Lowrie RBI double in the fourth. That effectively marked the end of the night for Peralta, who was unable to pitch into the fifth inning for just the second time since the start of July. Peralta has been a stabilizing arm in Detroit's rotation, posting a stellar 3.68 ERA in 66 innings, but his low K rate (15.0%) and unimpressive xERA (4.35) suggest it's probably not sustainable. |
|
| Aug 30 2021 | Manager A.J. Hinch said the Tigers plan to reinstate Peralta (finger) from the 10-day injured list Wednesday to start the team's game against the Athletics that day, Evan Woodbery of MLive.com reports. | ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Peralta will end up spending the minimum amount of time on the shelf due to a blister on a finger on his pitching hand. After submitting a 1.64 ERA and 0.94 WHIP in his first seven outings with the Tigers, Peralta's ratios predictably backslid during his subsequent six starts (5.90 ERA, 1.62 WHIP) before landing on the shelf. The more recent starts are likely a better reflection of what to expect from Peralta moving forward; his 5.21 FIP, 6.2 K-BB% and .242 BABIP are all indicators that he's pitched over his head and has benefited from some fortunate luck. |
|
| Aug 22 2021 | The Tigers placed Peralta on the 10-day injured list Sunday due to a blister on a finger on his right hand. | ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Peralta likely developed the blister at some point in the Tigers' 3-0 loss to the Blue Jays on Saturday, when he churned out his third quality start of the season while working six innings and allowing two runs on six hits and a walk. Detroit had already been rolling out a six-man rotation of late, and with off days coming Monday and Thursday, the team will most likely get by with five starters until Peralta is eligible to return Sept. 1. |
|
| Aug 21 2021 | Peralta (3-3) took the loss Saturday, allowing two runs on six hits and a walk over six innings as the Tigers were downed 3-0 by the Blue Jays. He struck out two. | ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: The veteran right-hander delivered his third quality start of the season and his only real mistake got deposited in the seats for a two-run homer by Randal Grichuk in the second inning, but Peralta got no help at all from the Detroit offense. He'll carry a 3.63 ERA and 39:23 K:BB through 62 innings into his next outing. |
|
| Aug 15 2021 | Peralta didn't factor into the decision Saturday against Cleveland after allowing three runs on six hits and three walks while fanning six across 4.1 innings. | ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Peralta went a bit deeper than his counterpart, Sam Hentges, but he was also unable to pitch five complete frames before departing. While he was far from effective and struggled a bit with his command, Peralta has now given up three or fewer runs in three straight outings and owns a decent 3.70 ERA across 56 innings on the year. If he manages to maintain his ERA below the 4.00 threshold, it would be the second time over the last three seasons in which he accomplishes that feat. |
|
| Aug 9 2021 | Peralta didn't factor into the decision Sunday against Cleveland after allowing five runs (two earned) on six hits and a walk across five innings. He struck out four. | ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Even though three of the five runs Peralta allowed were unearned, his performance wasn't really encouraging. Peralta has given up at least five runs in three of his last four starts, though he has also given up two or fewer earned runs in his last two appearances. A few inconsistencies aside, he's been pitching well this season and owns a 3.48 ERA across 51.2 innings in 2021. That figure would represent a career-best mark for him. |
|
| Aug 3 2021 | Peralta allowed two runs on six hits and two walks with three strikeouts through 4.2 innings, taking a no-decision in Tuesday's 4-2 win over the Red Sox. | ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Peralta needed 46 pitches to get through the first two innings Tuesday, but after allowing an unearned run in the first and a solo homer to Hunter Renfroe in the second, the right-hander settled in to subdue a potent Boston order. For a guy who allowed 11 runs in his previous two starts, one earned run through 4.2 innings can't be seen as a bad thing. However, he needed 96 pitches to get through the outing and walked the final two batters that he faced. He now has multiple walks in five straight starts and has not struck out more than four since punching out six Texas Rangers on July 5. |
|
| Jul 28 2021 | Peralta allowed six runs in just 3.1 innings Wednesday but did not factor into the decision against the Twins. He gave up six hits and two walks while striking out one. | ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Peralta was far from sharp, but he avoided the loss thanks a 17-run outburst by the offense. That doesn't cover up the red flags from the righty's last two starts, as he's been tagged for 11 earned runs across nine innings of work. Peralta has seen his era climb from 1.64 to 3.64 in the process. He'll look to get back on track in his next scheduled outing Tuesday against the Red Sox, though the tough opponent doesn't offer a reprieve for the 32-year-old. |
|
| Jul 23 2021 | Peralta (3-2) gave up five runs on five hits and three walks with three strikeouts in 5.2 innings, taking the loss versus Kansas City on Friday. | ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: The 32-year-old had no trouble the first time through the order, but Kansas City was able to generates runs in the third through fifth innings. Peralta gave up a three-run home run to Ryan O'Hearn and a solo shot to Carlos Santana in the contest. The right-hander has had few missteps since he joined the rotation in mid-June, and he now owns a 2.56 ERA, 1.01 WHIP and 23:14 K:BB through 38.2 innings. He lines up for a road start in Minnesota next week. |
|
| Jul 18 2021 | Peralta (3-1) allowed four hits and four walks while striking out four in seven shutout innings to earn the win over Minnesota on Sunday. | ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Outside of an ugly appearances versus the Angels on June 19, Peralta has put in good efforts so far this season. He was able to work around a season-high four walks and overcame throwing just 49 of his 90 pitches for strikes to earn his third win in his last four outings. The 32-year-old owns a 1.64 ERA, 0.94 WHIP and 20:11 K:BB through 33 innings across seven appearances (six starts). He'll look to keep rolling next weekend versus his former Royals teammates. |
|
| Jul 11 2021 | Peralta allowed one run on three hits and two walks in five innings during Sunday's loss to the Twins. He struck out two and did not factor in the decision. | ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Peralta cruised through four shutout innings before Max Kepler took him deep for a solo blast in the fifth. The veteran righty has been terrific in his last four appearances, allowing just one earned run with a 13:4 K:BB through 19.2 frames. He lowered his season ERA to 2.08 across 26 innings. Peralta has certainly earned an extended stay in Detroit's rotation after the All-Star break. |
|
| Jul 5 2021 | Peralta (2-1) tossed seven scoreless innings to earn the win Monday against the Rangers. He allowed three hits and no walks while striking out six. | ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: This was Peralta's best performance in four starts for Detroit, as he set new season highs in innings and strikeouts. The veteran righty also extended his streak of not allowing an earned run to three games, a span that covers 14.2 innings. The good stretch has allowed Peralta to lower his season ERA to a sparkling 2.14. As a minor-league signing during the winter who hadn't pitched in the majors since 2019, Peralta didn't come into the season with a ton of expectations, but the 32-year-old has been impressive so far. He'll look to keep it up in his next scheduled outing Saturday against the Twins. |
|
| Jul 1 2021 | Peralta (1-1) allowed one unearned on three hits and no walks while striking out five to earn the win in the second game of Wednesday's doubleheader against Cleveland. | ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Peralta earned his third start of the season and delivered his best outing. The only damage against him came on an RBI triple by Bradley Zimmer, though the run was unearned due to an error earlier in the inning. Otherwise, Peralta was strong and racked up a season-best five strikeouts, which was backed by 13 swinging strikes on 80 total pitches. Peralta now has a 3.21 ERA across 14 innings as both a starter and reliever this season, though he has worked five innings in two of his last three starts. |
|
| Jun 27 2021 | Peralta is scheduled to start Wednesday's series finale in Cleveland, Evan Petzold of the Detroit Free Press reports. | ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Detroit will likely be looking for Peralta to provide more length in his third start of the season after he was essentially deployed in a tandem with Kyle Funkhouser in the second game of Saturday's doubleheader with the Astros. In the Tigers' 3-2 loss, Peralta tossed 2.2 scoreless frames before giving way to Funkhouser, who followed with 2.1 scoreless innings of his own. The Tigers are expected to be without Matthew Boyd (triceps) and Spencer Turnbull (forearm) through the All-Star break, so Peralta should have some longevity in the rotation if he can merely perform adequately in his future starts. |
|
| Jun 25 2021 | Peralta won't start Friday against the Astros as previously scheduled, as the game has been postponed by rain, Cody Stavenhagen of The Athletic reports. | ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: The game will be made up as part of a doubleheader Saturday. Peralta will start the nightcap, with Casey Mize on the hill for the afternoon contest. |
|
| Jun 23 2021 | Peralta is slated to make another start Friday against the Astros, Chris McCosky of The Detroit News reports. | ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: With Spencer Turnbull (forearm) and Matthew Boyd (triceps) still residing on the injured list, Peralta will stick around for a second turn in Detroit's rotation as the No. 5 starter. The 32-year-old made his first big-league start since 2017 in a June 19 loss to the Angels, working five innings while giving up five runs on seven hits and two walks. |
|
| Jun 19 2021 | Peralta (0-1) allowed five runs on seven hits and two walks while striking out two over five innings. He took the loss Saturday versus the Angels. | ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Peralta ran into trouble in the third inning and allowed a pair of two-run home runs to Shohei Ohtani and Jared Walsh. The right-hander filled in as a spot starter Saturday, but he didn't do much to suggest he's earned a longer look in the rotation. If he gets another turn, it would likely be during next weekend's four-game series versus Houston. |
|
| Jun 16 2021 | Peralta will start Saturday's game against the Angels, Evan Petzold of the Detroit Free Press reports. | ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Peralta was called up by the Tigers on Tuesday, and he tossed 1.1 scoreless relief innings and earned a hold in Tuesday's win over the Royals. He'll make his first start since 2017 in Saturday's contest, but he'll likely return to a bullpen role afterward since the Tigers' rotation will be able to rest during Monday's off day. |
|
| Jun 15 2021 | The Tigers recalled Peralta from Triple-A Toledo on Tuesday, Jason Beck of MLB.com reports. | ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Peralta receives his first trip to the big leagues this season after posting a 2.75 ERA and 1.20 WHIP across 19.2 relief innings with Toledo. He's pitched in the majors during seven previous seasons with the Brewers and Royals, most recently posting a 3.67 ERA and 35:23 K:BB across 40.1 innings with Kansas City in 2019. |
|
| Mar 17 2021 | Tigers manager AJ Hinch said Wednesday that Peralta won't be able to resolve his visa issues in time to join the team for spring training, Chris McCosky of The Detroit News reports. | ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Peralta had been expected to compete for a bullpen role with the Tigers after signing a minor-league deal that included an invitation to big-league spring training, but his delayed arrival to the United States will end his bid for a roster spot. The 31-year-old is expected to report to the Tigers' minor-league camp in Lakeland, Fla. once his immigration status is resolved. |
|
| Mar 2 2021 | Peralta has been delayed by visa issues and has yet to arrive at camp, Evan Woodbery of MLive.com reports. | ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Several players around the league faced similar delays getting back into the country, though most of those cases have resolved at this point. Peralta isn't one of the lucky ones, which could deal a significant blow to his already slim chances of making the team as a non-roster invitee. |
|
| Feb 18 2021 | Peralta signed a minor-league contract with the Tigers as a non-roster invitee Thursday, Jon Heyman of MLB Network reports. | ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Peralta didn't appear in the majors during the 2020 season after he was released by the Royals in July. However, he'll now get to compete for a spot in Detroit's bullpen during spring training. The right-hander made 42 relief appearances for Kansas City in 2019, posting a 5.80 ERA and 24:19 K:BB over 40.1 innings. |

|
| Jul 23 2018 | Peralta worked around a walk with one strikeout in a scoreless inning to earn his fourth save of the season Sunday against the Twins. | Asked to protect a two-run lead in the ninth, Peralta walked a man with two outs but struck out the final hitter he faced to close it out. Although save chances can be hard to come by for the journeyman converted reliever, he's been scored upon in just one of his last 11 outings to lower his season ERA to 3.18. |
|
| Jul 21 2018 | Peralta struck out one in a perfect ninth inning Saturday to record his third save of the season in a 4-2 win over the Twins. | There haven't been many save chances to go around in Kansas City since Kelvin Herrera was shipped off to Washington, but Peralta has successfully converted all three of the ones he's been given. With neither Tim Hill nor Brandon Maurer proving to be reliable, Peralta could continue to emerge as the Royals' best closing option. |
|
| Jun 27 2018 | Peralta gave up a hit and struck out one in a scoreless inning Wednesday to record his second save of the season in a 6-5 win over the Brewers. | Tim Hill began the inning protecting a 5-1 lead and quickly served up a three-run homer to Brad Miller, forcing the Royals to turn to their newly minted closer, and Peralta was able to get the job done against his former club. The right-hander's fastball was popping at 97 mph, but his track record -- he hasn't posted an ERA below 4.00 in the majors since 2014 -- makes him a volatile fantasy option despite his current role. Then again, Bud Norris headed into 2017 with a similar resume of failure as a starter and turned around his career as a high-leverage reliever, and Peralta could well do the same. |
|
| Jun 25 2018 | Peralta gave up one hit and struck out two in a scoreless ninth inning Monday against the Angels to earn his first career save. | This is a pretty unique and scary closer-by-committee situation, as Peralta now appears to be the slight favorite for saves going forward, even though he has thrown just 3.2 innings in the big leagues this season. He had a 4.15 ERA in 30.1 innings as a reliever at Triple-A, so it's not like he was lights out en route to his big-league promotion a little over a week ago. Brandon Maurer, Tim Hill and Kevin McCarthy could all be in the mix for saves as well, and considering Peralta had a 10.71 ERA in 21 career MLB innings as a reliever prior to this contest, it seems unlikely that he is able to hold the job over the rest of the season. |
|
| Jun 17 2018 | The Royals selected Peralta's contract from Triple-A Omaha ahead of Sunday's game against the Astros. | After working almost exclusively as a starter with the Brewers for parts of the past six seasons, Peralta transitioned to long-relief duty after joining the Royals on a one-year pact over the winter. The right-hander hasn't been especially effective in that capacity, supplying a 4.37 ERA, 1.63 WHIP and 39 strikeouts over 35 innings with Omaha. He may just provide the Kansas City bullpen with a fresh arm in the short term before heading back to the minors. |
|
| Mar 31 2018 | Peralta cleared waivers and was outrighted to Triple-A Omaha on Saturday. | Peralta was designated for assignment by the Royals on Thursday and subsequently went through waivers unclaimed. The 28-year-old posted a 7.85 ERA and 1.83 WHIP over 19 appearances (57.1 innings) with Milwaukee last season, and should serve as organizational pitching depth for Kansas City. |
|
| Dec 5 2017 | Peralta signed a one-year contract with the Royals on Tuesday that includes a club option for 2018, Rustin Dodd of The Kansas City Star reports. | It's been a tough couple of years for Peralta. Since being named the Opening Day starter for Milwaukee in 2016, the 28-year-old hurler has struggled to a 5.79 ERA, 1.62 WHIP and 145:75 K:BB across 185 major-league innings. He was also shifted to the bullpen last season after posting a 6.08 ERA across his first eight starts, though he continued to struggle in that role, compiling a brutal 11.94 ERA across 17.1 innings before ultimately being designated for assignment. Still, he boasts a high-90s fastball, and it's possible the change of scenery could help him return to his pre-2016 form (4.02 ERA in 519.2 innings from 2012-2015), whether that be in the bullpen or as a starter. |
|
| Oct 6 2017 | Peralta is set to become a free agent at this end of this season. | The right-hander elected free agency Friday, and will attempt to restart his career elsewhere after spending his entire professional career in Milwaukee. Peralta only appeared in 19 games for the Brewers this season, eight of which were starts, while accumulated a 7.85 ERA and 1.83 WHIP. A team may take a chance and try to work Peralta back into the majors as a starter, but he may just wind up serving out of the bullpen if he's able to find a home. |

| Aug 3 2017 | Peralta was outrighted to Triple-A Colorado Springs on Thursday. | It was expected that Peralta would wind up returning to the Sky Sox after getting designated for assignment last Saturday. He was unable to take advantage of what would've been a lengthy relief appearance against the Nationals last week, giving up seven earned runs in 1.2 innings. The 28-year-old will likely continue working as a relief pitcher with Colorado Springs, and could make another appearance with Milwaukee this season if he can turn things around. |
|
| Jul 23 2017 | Peralta (calf) was activated from the 10-day disabled list Sunday. | Peralta, who opened the season as a member of the Brewers' rotation, will continue to work out of the bullpen now that he's healthy again following a three-appearance rehab assignment. He'll see most of his duties in long relief, effectively assuming the duties that had previously fallen to Rob Scahill, who was designated for assignment Sunday in a corresponding move. |
|
| Jul 21 2017 | Peralta (calf) is set to return to the Brewers this weekend in Philadelphia, Todd Rosiak of the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel reports. | Peralta has been out since June 21 with a right calf strain, but has been able to spend the past couple weeks with Triple-A Colorado Springs on a rehab assignment. He tossed two innings against Omaha on Thursday, retiring all six opposing batters while sprinkling in a pair of strikeouts. Peralta figures to rejoin the bullpen upon his arrival, where spent over a month getting used to his new role before landing on the disabled list. |
|
| Jul 5 2017 | Peralta (calf) will start his rehab assignment with Triple-A Colorado Springs on Wednesday. | It has been exactly two weeks since Peralta landed on the DL with a right calf strain, and the right-hander has progressed smoothly during his time on the mend. Peralta is in line for a few rehab games while he looks to shake off the rust and return to form following his rough batch of outings prior to going down with this injury. It is uncertain which role Peralta will take on once he returns to the Brewers, but he could slide back into a middle relief spot after the All-Star break, barring any setbacks during his rehab appearances. |
|
| Jun 21 2017 | Peralta was placed on the 10-day disabled list Wednesday with a right calf strain. | It's unclear when the injury cropped up, but it's apparently serious enough to warrant a trip to the disabled list. He'll be eligible to return June 30 should he be ready. Peralta struggled mightily since being shifted to the bullpen, compiling a 10.54 ERA and 14:11 K:BB across 13.2 innings (nine appearances). In the meantime, southpaw Brent Suter was recalled from Triple-A to take his place on the roster and in the bullpen. |
|
| Jun 8 2017 | Since being moved to the bullpen, Peralta has given up four runs in 8.1 innings with a 1.32 WHIP. | At first glance, Peralta's bullpen numbers don't look like much to be excited about, but that changes once you compare them to his starts this year. In eight starts and 40 innings, his ERA was 6.08 and he had given up eight home runs. Since changing roles, he has yet to give up a homer and has increased his strikeout rate from 7.2 per nine innings to 8.6. It is unclear when and if he will return to the rotation this season, but what little fantasy value he does retain seems to come more from a relieving role than a starting one. |
|
| May 17 2017 | Manager Craig Counsell said Peralta will pitch out of the bullpen moving forward, Todd Rosiak of the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel reports. | Aside from an impressive first start, Peralta has struggled this season, posting a 6.08 ERA and 32:17 K:BB through 40 innings (eight starts) this season. It's unclear who will fill his spot in the rotation for the time being, though Counsell said his replacement will likely be announced Thursday. Junior Guerra (calf) should be able to fill the void once he is activated from the disabled list, but the Brewers will likely need a spot starter for Friday's matchup against the Cubs. |
|
| May 15 2017 | Peralta labored through 4.1 innings Sunday against the Mets but came away with a no-decision after giving up seven runs (six earned) on seven hits and a walk while striking out one. | Thankfully for the 28-year-old, the Brewers were able to mount a comeback against the porous Mets bullpen to take him off the hook for the loss. However, that doesn't change how unimpressive Peralta was Sunday, needing 92 pitches to complete his outing while only tossing 56 of those for strikes. Granted, much of the damage was done in the last two innings of his start, but frankly outings like this have become par for the course, with Sunday's performance raising his ERA to a career-high 6.08 mark. Peralta will look to bounce back in his upcoming scheduled start against the Cubs on Friday. |
|
| May 9 2017 | Peralta gave up four runs on five hits and three walks in 4.1 innings against the Red Sox on Tuesday. He struck out four. | All Peralta needed to do was finish five frames to qualify for the win, but he just couldn't do it, as he fell apart in the fifth, giving up three runs. The Brewers went on to win without him, though. Peralta's shown flickers of promise here and there, but his 5.30 ERA and 1.51 WHP look a lot like his ugly numbers from the last two seasons. Even with the scarcity of good pitching these days, it's hard to roll him out in most fantasy formats. |
|
| May 3 2017 | Peralta (4-2) gave up two runs on five hits and two walks while striking out seven over 5.1 innings in Tuesday's 2-1 loss to the Cardinals. | He held St. Louis off the board for five innings before running into some trouble in the sixth, exiting the game with runners on second and third and one out, but Jacob Barnes allowed both those runners to score to saddle Peralta with the loss. The 27-year-old righty will look for a better result Sunday in Pittsburgh. |
|
| Apr 26 2017 | Peralta (4-1) allowed four runs on eight hits and two walks while striking out seven batters over five innings during Wednesday's win over Cincinnati. | Run support has been the biggest factor in Peralta's early-season success in the wins column. He sports a 5.19 ERA, 5.79 FIP and 1.50 WHIP, after all. It was promising to see an uptick in strikeouts Wednesday, but his career 6.4 K/9 and 16.4 strikeout percentage entering the outing suggest it was likely a mirage. Peralta lines up for a road start against the Cardinals next. |
|
| Apr 22 2017 | Peralta (3-1) coughed up six runs on nine hits and a walk over four innings during Friday's 6-3 loss to the Cardinals. He failed to strike out a batter. | The 27-year-old's velocity spike to begin the season has attracted some buzz, but so far it hasn't resulted in better fantasy stats, as Peralta's 4.71 ERA, 1.38 WHIP and 13:9 K:BB through 21 innings are right in line with his mediocre career numbers. He'll next take the mound Wednesday at home against the Reds. |
|
| Apr 16 2017 | Peralta (3-0) earned his third win in as many tries Sunday against the Reds, allowing two runs on three hits and three walks across six innings. He struck out one. | Peralta needed just 79 pitches en route to a quality start, pumping in first-pitch strikes to 16 of 23 batters and inducing 10 groundball outs. His only blemish came on a two-run homer to Eugenio Suarez in the fourth inning, but he retired seven of the final nine batters he faced from that point on. Peralta has been a pleasant surprise this season after struggling a year ago and will take a 2.65 ERA along with his perfect record into Friday's start against the Cardinals. |
|
| Apr 11 2017 | Peralta (2-0) gave up three runs on five hits and four walks while striking out seven over six innings in Toronto on Tuesday. | Well, this is interesting. Although the lack of control in this one was less than ideal, Peralta's surprisingly posted two strong outings against quality lineups to open the season. His track record is not a positive one -- after all, he's turned in two consecutive seasons with a high-fours ERA and 1.50-plus WHIP -- but Peralta's one of the hardest-throwing pitchers in the majors, and he does a good job keeping the ball on the ground. There's reason for owners in deeper formats to be interested in the 27-year-old righty, who'll make his next start Sunday in Cincinnati. |
|
| Apr 5 2017 | Peralta (1-0) tossed five shutout innings against the Rockies in Wednesday's home win, striking out five while allowing three hits and a walk. | Although that's an efficient-looking stat line, it's worth noting that it took Peralta 90 pitches to get through 18 batters -- that's five pitches per batter, a sky-high figure. Peralta's last two campaigns have been marked by poor control and massive hittability, so although it's nice to see him keep the Rockies off the board (albeit at home, not at Coors Field), he's a long way from changing hearts and minds in the fantasy community. That said, if he performs well in Toronto when he next takes the ball Tuesday, it'll force us to reevaluate his prospects. |
|
| Mar 30 2017 | Peralta will start the third game of the season for the Brewers. | Peralta, who pitched on Opening Day for the Brewers last season, will toe the mound in the third game of the season after an impressive spring. After pitching in the WBC, Peralta posted a 0.71 ERA and 0.95 WHIP across 12.2 innings this spring. After being sent down mid-season in 2016, the 27-year-old rebounded with a 2.92 ERA in the 10 games he played after being recalled. Peralta will look to pick up where he left off at the end of last season. |
|
| Mar 12 2017 | Peralta is the starting pitcher for the Dominican Republic for their World Baseball Classic matchup with Colombia on Sunday. | The Brewers hurler will attempt to get the Dominican squad up to 3-0, but he'll have to get through a 1-1 Colombian team that nearly took down Team USA earlier in the tournament. Peralta's numbers from last year weren't fantastic (4.86 ERA, 1.34 HR/9), but the fact that Colombia's lineup doesn't pose as much major league talent as some of the other countries in the tournament could help his cause. |
|
| Mar 3 2017 | Peralta will pitch in a minor league game Friday before leaving for the World Baseball Classic on Sunday, Tom Haudricourt of the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel reports. | Manager Craig Counsell says the right-hander will be limited to 45 pitches as he treats the game as more of a workout. Peralta has elected to represent the Dominican Republic in this year's WBC, a tournament which should serve as a better indication of his progression this offseason. The 22-year-old is coming off a forgettable 2016 season in which he posted a career-high 4.86 ERA over 23 starts. |
|
| Jan 13 2017 | Peralta and the Brewers avoided arbitration on Friday with a $4.275 million deal, Jon Heyman of Today's Knuckleball reports. | Peralta posted a career-worse 4.86 ERA in 127.2 innings in 2016, but will still get a significant pay raise through the arbitration system. However, the 27-year-old will likely need to turn things around in 2017 lest the rebuilding Brewers deem him and his salary expendable. |
|
| Sep 26 2016 | Peralta allowed three runs (two earned) on five hits and three walks while striking out five across six innings in Sunday's loss to the Reds. | Peralta was a tough-luck loser Sunday, as he took the loss despite allowing just two extra-base hits and inducing nine ground ball outs. Peralta has been solid over his last five starts, going at least six innings in each and allowing more than three runs just once. He will face a tough test in his final start of the season Sunday at Coors Field. |
|
| Sep 21 2016 | Peralta's next start has been pushed back to Sunday, MLB.com's Adam McCalvy reports. | The Brewers appear poised to work with a six-man rotation over the final 12 days of the regular season, with Taylor Jungmann slotting into the rotation Saturday against the Reds. In addition to starting Sunday against Cincinnati, Peralta is also in line to make one final start next Sunday in Coors Field. |
|
| Sep 19 2016 | Peralta earned his seventh win of the season Sunday versus the Cubs, allowing just one run on nine hits and a walk with five strikeouts across six strong innings. | The right-hander has struggled on the whole this season, as his 5.21 ERA would suggest, but he has compiled a couple of wins with 11 punchouts and a 3.29 ERA in two starts versus the Cubs this month. He has now tossed back-to-back quality starts, which he has only done on one other occasion this season, and will look to build off of his recent success Saturday versus the Reds. |
|
| Sep 12 2016 | Peralta (6-10) went six innings allowing three runs on six hits and a walk, while striking out five against the Reds on Monday. He took the loss as the Brewers were shut out 3-0. | Peralta lowered his ERA to 5.42 with the quality start, and now has a 1.57 WHIP and .309 batting average against. On the bright side, Peralta does have a 3.56 ERA and 21:3 K:BB ratio over his last three starts. Peralta features a mid-to-high 90's fastball, but has failed to translate that live arm into many whiffs this year, posting a K/9 rate of just 6.6 despite the recent string of strikeouts. He'll hope to receive more run support his next time out against the Cubs on Saturday. |
|
| Sep 7 2016 | Peralta (6-9) allowed four runs on six hits, including three homers but took a victory over the Cubs on Tuesday. He also struck out six and walked one over 7.2 innings. | Milwaukee's offense spotted him 12 runs to work with, so despite the four earned runs allowed, Peralta was able to capture his sixth victory of the season. Home runs should still be a concern, though, as he's tossed up seven dingers in the last 25.2 innings. His next start will be Monday against Cincinnati. |
|
| Aug 30 2016 | Peralta allowed just one run on three hits and a walk with 10 strikeouts over seven innings but was left with a no-decision Tuesday against St. Louis. | Peralta has been much better since returning from the minors August 9, as he now has three quality starts in five outings and a 3.00 ERA over 30 innings of work. Most stunning though is the 10 strikeouts, as he topped his season high of just six, which he has reached twice this season (August 9 against Atlanta, May 20 against the Mets). Peralta still owns a brutal 5.53 ERA on the season, but his improvement since returning to the majors is enough to make him worth watching once again. |
|
| Aug 26 2016 | Peralta gave up two runs on five hits and three walks over five innings in a no-decision against Pittsburgh on Thursday. | It took him 100 pitches to navigate through those five inefficient frames, ending his streak of three straight six-inning starts. Once a promising young starter, Peralta's now 27 years old and has been among the worst pitchers in baseball this year. On the bright side, though, he's given up two or fewer runs in three of his last four starts, a stretch that's seen him finally pull his ERA under the 6.00 mark. |
|
| Aug 14 2016 | Peralta (5-8) allowed one run on four hits and one walk while striking out five over six innings to earn the victory Sunday against the Reds. | After owning a 7.30 ERA on May 14, Peralta's now brought that number all the way down to 6.00 in his seven starts since then. This is the first time in his five-year career that the righty has posted higher than a 4.72 ERA. He'll make his next start Friday against the Mariners. |
|
| Aug 9 2016 | Peralta (4-8) allowed two runs on four hits and three walks with six strikeouts over six innings in a loss Tuesday to Atlanta. | Peralta notched a quality start in his first start back in the majors since June 11, something he failed to do in each of his final six starts before his demotion. Unfortunately, it's hard to get too excited about this start -- Peralta had a horrid 6.31 ERA in 10 starts at Triple-A Colorado Springs. His success Monday was likely more due to the awful Braves lineup, which is dead last in the National League at 3.56 runs scored per game. |
|
| Jun 12 2016 | Peralta was optioned to Triple-A Colorado Springs on Sunday, Tom Haudricourt of the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel reports. | Despite earning the win Saturday against the Mets, Peralta still surrendered two home runs, leaving his ERA at a disappointing 6.68 on the year. Manager Craig Counsell may have tipped the organization's hand following that contest, as he remained non-committal when asked whether Peralta would be making his next scheduled start. The right-hander is one of the hardest throwing starters in the Milwaukee rotation, but has been victimized heavily by walks (3.68 BB/9) and home runs (19.4 percent HR/FB) this season, with both of the aforementioned marks representing career lows. The 27-year-old will now have to work things out in the minors before getting another chance with the big league club. Milwaukee has yet to officially announce a replacement in the rotation, though the expected return of Matt Garza (back) this week would represent a logical choice. |
|
| Jun 11 2016 | After Saturday's game, manager Craig Counsell would not commit to Peralta taking his next turn in the rotation, Adam McCalvy of MLB.com reports. | Counsell stressed that there were no physical issues that led to Peralta's removal from Saturday's game against the Mets after 63 pitches. Peralta earned the win over New York but was not good by any means, giving up three runs on five hits (including two homers) and one walk while striking out four over five innings. Matt Garza (back) looms as a threat to take Peralta's spot late this upcoming week. |
|
| Jun 5 2016 | Peralta has not yet officially lost his rotation spot, MLB.com's Adam McCalvy reports. | Peralta had a favorable matchup against the Phillies on Sunday, as the team checked in with the second-worst wOBA (.281) in all of Major League Baseball entering the contest. The right-hander effectively failed to keep the light-hitting Phillies in check, allowing six runs (five earned) on seven hits and two walks over 4.1 innings. It was the fifth time this season that Peralta has allowed five or more earned runs in a start, and the 27-year-old has yet to make it past the sixth inning in a start this year. Despite the struggles, manager Craig Counsell and the Brewers plan to stick by their starter in hopes of Peralta eventually righting the ship. If improvement doesn't begin to show in the near future, however, this topic of conversation will almost surely be revisited. |
|
| May 31 2016 | Peralta (3-6) allowed three runs on nine hits and two walks with two strikeouts over five innings in a loss Tuesday to the Cardinals. | Peralta still isn't missing bats. He drew five swinging strikes in 97 pitches and failed to strike out more than two batters for the fourth time in 11 starts. Peralta has a rough 37:24 K:BB and still can't find the reliable secondary pitch he needs to keep hitters off balance. His ERA sits at 6.51 and it won't be going down by much until he can resolve his horrendous 13.5 H/9. |
|
| May 26 2016 | Peralta (3-5) only tossed 5.1 innings allowing two earned runs on seven hits and two walks with four strikeouts, but it was enough to get the win Thursday against the Braves. | Peralta struggles with effectiveness, and needed 95 pitches to cover 5.1 frames, but this time it was enough for the win. For what it's worth, Peralta also contributed at the plate with a two-out, two-run single in the fourth inning. Peralta saw his ERA drop for the second straight game, and now it sits at 6.62. His next start will happen against the Cardinals next Tuesday. |
|
| May 20 2016 | Peralta allowed three runs on six hits, walking two and striking out six over 5.2 innings of a 3-2 loss against the Mets on Friday night. | While still not very efficient - he needed 108 pitches to cover the 5.2 innings - Peralta (2-5) was better than he has been recently, and saw his ERA drop to a still bloated 6.99 on the year. His spot in the rotation has been rumored to be in jeopardy, but perhaps this outing was good enough to earn him another turn against the Braves in Atlanta next week. |
|
| May 14 2016 | Peralta (2-4) allowed six runs on eight hits over 4.2 innings but the Brewers offense bailed him out, as he received a no-decision Saturday against the Padres. He also struck out three and walked three. | The right-hander has give up at least five runs in four of his eight starts this season. Somehow he's managed to go 1-2 in those four outings, and he is 2-4 despite owning a 7.30 ERA and 1.99 WHIP. He also has 25 strikeouts and 18 walks. His next start will be Saturday against the Mets. |
|
| May 14 2016 | Manager Craig Counsell wouldn't commit to Peralta making his next scheduled May 21 against the Mets, Adam McCalvy of MLB.com reports. | Peralta, the Brewers' Opening Day starter, has been abysmal throughout the season, and things got even worse during Saturday's 8-7 loss to the Padres, as the right-hander served up six runs on eight hits and three walks over 4.2 innings. Counsell and the team's staff will likely take another day or two before determining the next course of action with Peralta, but at this point, he's doing a lot more harm than good for his fantasy owners. Peralta is sitting on a 2-4 record and a 7.30 ERA across 40.2 innings on the campaign. |
|
| May 9 2016 | Peralta (2-4) took the loss on Monday, allowing two runs on 10 hits in six innings. He walked two and struck out four. | Monday's start was just the second time Peralta has been able to finish six innings in his seven starts this season. The 27-year-old has been brutal this season, recording a 6.75 ERA and 1.94 WHIP to date. Peralta's next start will come Saturday against the Padres. |
|
| May 9 2016 | Peralta was activated from the paternity list and will start Monday against the Marlins. | Peralta will return to action after spending the weekend with his growing family. His last start came against the same Marlins team he will face Monday; and although he picked up the win in that outing, he did give up 13 hits and five earned runs while failing to strike out a batter over 5.2 innings. |
|
| May 5 2016 | Peralta was placed on the paternity list Thursday and has been scratched from his scheduled start Friday, Tom Haudricourt of the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel reports. | As a result of the placement, Peralta, whose wife gave birth Thursday, will be required to miss at least one game and no more than three games. Milwaukee called up Tyler Cravy from Triple-A to start in Peralta's place Friday, but Peralta figures to be available when his next turn in the rotation rolls around, likely on Wednesday in Miami. |
|
| May 5 2016 | Peralta (paternity) will rejoin the Brewers' rotation Monday in Miami. | As expected, Peralta will miss just one start while away from the team on paternity leave. Tyler Cravy will come up from Triple-A to start in Peralta's place Friday, but he'll likely return to Colorado Springs in short order once Peralta is activated from the paternity list. |
|
| May 1 2016 | Peralta (2-3) picked up the win Sunday over the Marlins despite allowing five run on 13 hits and a walk over 5.2 innings without striking out a batter. | He won his second straight start thanks to the Brewers hanging 14 runs on Miami pitching rather than any particular success on his part. Peralta now has an atrocious 7.50 ERA, 1.93 WHIP and 18:13 K:BB in 30 innings and six starts on the season, and shouldn't be anywhere near your active roster when he makes his next start Friday in Cincinnati. |
|
| Mar 21 2016 | Peralta was named the Brewers' Opening Day starter Monday. | Peralta had a subpar 2015 campaign and has been hit around a bit this spring, but that did not prevent manager Craig Counsell from letting Peralta take the ball Opening Day for the first time in his career. Peralta's 2016 debut will come Apr. 4 at home against the Giants. |
|
| Jan 15 2016 | Peralta (oblique) and the Brewers agreed to terms on a one-year deal Friday, avoiding arbitration. | Peralta was a pleasant surprise in 2014, but injuries limited his effectiveness last season, as he spent nearly nine weeks on the DL and dealt with a nagging quad injury. As a result, he posted a career-high 4.72 ERA to go with a 1.537 WHIP across 108.2 innings. The 26-year-old had success inducing ground balls, but he'll need to hone in his fastball if he hopes to regain his 2014 form. |
|
| Sep 23 2015 | Peralta (oblique) will not pitch again this season. | Evidently, Peralta emerged from his outing against the Cubs on Monday with left oblique tightness. The right-hander missed two months earlier this season with an oblique issue, so rather than return him to action and risk some sort of long-term injury, the Brewers have decided to shut Peralta down and look ahead to 2016. Peralta struggled in 20 starts for Milwaukee this season, turning career-worst marks in ERA, WHIP and strikeout rate. |
|
| Sep 21 2015 | Peralta took his 10th loss Monday against the Cubs as he allowed six runs on eight hits and four walks over 4.2 innings. He struck out two. | The Cubs had Peralta's number all day, as they tagged him for three doubles and used seven fly balls to keep the hit the parade moving. Peralta has just two quality starts in his last seven outings and has a 5.43 ERA in 11 starts since returning from the disabled list in late July. His full season ERA is up to 4.72. |
|
| Sep 17 2015 | Peralta (5-9) lasted only four innings against the Cardinals on Wednesday, allowing five runs on six hits and two walks in a losing effort. | After not giving up a homer in any of his prior four appearances -- which isn't to say he pitched well in that span -- Peralta gave up three in this one. It's been an awful campaign for the 26-year-old righty, who's seen his strikeout rate plummet and his effectiveness go with it. Judging pitchers on wins and losses is usually a fool's errand, but Peralta's fall from 17 wins last year to just five this season is certainly illustrative of his fall from grace. |
|
| Sep 10 2015 | Peralta hurled a quality start on Thursday, allowing two runs on five hits and three walks over six innings, but was saddled with a no-decision in a 6-4 win over the Pirates. | It's been a rough year for Peralta as he maintains a 4.14 ERA and 1.47 WHIP in 18 starts this season, but this was one of his better games in the past two months. The strikeouts have really been down for Peralta too, as he's struck out three or less batters in nine of his last 10 starts. The righty is really hard to trust right now and he has a tough matchup in his next start against the Cardinals on Wednesday. |
|
| Aug 31 2015 | Peralta (5-8) delivered a strong effort en route to claiming a win over the Reds on Sunday, tossing seven innings of one-run ball while walking none and striking out six. | After it was suggested earlier last week following his abbreviated start against the Indians that he had been experiencing a dead arm, Peralta bounced back in dominant fashion Sunday, providing one of his best starts of the season. With his velocity returning to normal levels and his pitch location on point, Peralta looks like a safe roll when he faces the Reds once again in his next start over the upcoming weekend. |
|
| Aug 30 2015 | Peralta (dead arm) is making his scheduled start Sunday against the Reds. | He was touched up for four runs -- two earned -- in just 2.2 innings in his last start Tuesday against Cleveland. Peralta's velocity was also down in that appearance, which certainly supports the dead arm diagnosis. |
|
| Aug 25 2015 | Peralta, who was chased in the third inning Tuesday, could be dealing with a case of dead arm, according to pitching coach Rick Kranitz, the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel's Todd Rosiak reports. | Peralta and manager Craig Counsell both said the righty was healthy following Tuesday's game, but his average velocity on his fastball was down a couple ticks, which could lend credence to Kranitz's theory. Regardless, it has been a rough year for Peralta, and owners may want to leave him on the bench even if he is cleared for his next scheduled outing Sunday against the Reds. |
|
| Aug 19 2015 | Peralta gave up six runs on nine hits over five innings against the Marlins on Wednesday afternoon, but managed to record his fourth win of the season. | After back-to-back quality starts against the Cardinals and Phillies, Peralta scuffled against a Marlins club currently playing without Giancarlo Stanton and Christian Yelich. While the strikeout total (two) and ratio damage is disappointing given the matchup, that he was able to come away a cheap win softens the blow somewhat. Peralta is lined up for a two-start week, first facing the Indians in Cleveland on Tuesday before a home start against the Reds on August 30. |
|
| Aug 14 2015 | Peralta (3-7) pitched seven scoreless innings on Friday, striking out three while surrendering six hits and two walks in a win over the Phillies. | In his first three games back from the disabled list, Peralta's ERA hovered at 6.06. Stats can lie however, as two of those outings were quality starts and he has now made it three out of four. Nothing about Peralta's season stats make him worthy of picking up, but he's showing improvement. |
|
| Aug 3 2015 | Peralta fell to 2-6 as he allowed six runs on eight hits and three walks over just 3.1 innings in a loss Monday to San Diego. | Peralta couldn't find his control, and when he was in the strike zone, he was hammered, as the Padres tagged him for four extra-base hits. Peralta threw a quality start in his first start off the disabled list last week, but Monday's disaster brings his ERA up to 4.55 and marks the third time he has allowed at least five home runs in 11 starts. Peralta has a season high of just six strikeouts and he isn't bringing the lights out potential needed to offset his occasional blowups. |
|
| Jul 28 2015 | Peralta earned the win with six sharp innings Tuesday against San Francisco, as he allowed two runs on five hits and two walks over six innings. He struck out three. | Peralta ran out of gas in the seventh innings, and the runners he left on second and third were allowed in by reliever Will Smith. Peralta was held to just 84 pitches after missing more than a month with an oblique injury. He looked ready, with a fastball sitting at 95 MPH and reaching as high as 97.5 MPH. |
|
| Jul 28 2015 | Peralta (oblique) was officially reinstated from the DL and will start Tuesday's game against the Giants. | The Brewers made the announcement over the weekend, but Peralta was not officially activated from the DL until Tuesday morning. In a corresponding move, Milwaukee optioned right-hander David Goforth to Triple-A Colorado Springs. |
|
| Jul 25 2015 | Peralta (oblique) will start Tuesday, Todd Rosiak of the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel reports. | Peralta was placed on the disabled list in late May with an oblique strain and has slowly made his way through his rehab appearances. The Brewers will go with a six-man rotation for now, but Peralta could head back down to the minors for another rehab start. |
|
| Jul 22 2015 | Peralta (oblique) will join the Brewers in Phoenix later this week, but it's unclear when he will be activated, Tom Haudricourt of the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel reports. | Manager Craig Counsell said he anticipates Peralta meeting the team in Arizona, where the Brewers play a four-game set starting Thursday, but said the team currently has no plan to activate him. Counsell intimated that it's possible Peralta could be activated this week, but it's also possible he could return to the minors for another rehab start. Peralta most recently gave up one earned run on three hits over five innings Tuesday at Double-A Biloxi. |
|
| Jul 21 2015 | Peralta (oblique) tossed five innings in a rehab start with Double-A Biloxi on Tuesday. He gave up just one earned run on three hits and posted a 5:1 K:BB ratio in the game. | Peralta was sharp Tuesday night, just as he was in his previous two rehab starts. He could be ready to rejoin to the big league rotation, but the Brewers may opt to have him start one more time in the minors -- he did throw just 74 pitches Tuesday and the team will have a tough time determining who to remove from the big league rotation to make room for his return. Expect the Brewers to announce their plans for Peralta's next outing at some point in the next couple days. |
|
| Jul 19 2015 | Peralta (oblique) will make another rehab start this week, the Associated Press reports. | Peralta, who has been out with a strained left oblique since late May, started his rehab assignment Thursday with Double-A Biloxi, tossing 3.2 scoreless innings. The Brewers want him to work a little deeper into a game before bringing him back in the fold, so Peralta figures to raise his pitch count in his next minor-league turn. If all goes according to plan, he could be activated from the DL next week. |
|
| Jul 15 2015 | Peralta (oblique) will start a rehab game at Double-A Chattanooga on Thursday. | Peralata continues to inch towards a return, moving up a rung to Double-A. If he continues to progress without issue, it might not be too long before he rejoins the Brewers' rotation. |
|
| Jul 9 2015 | Peralta (oblique) will begin a rehab assignment with Low-A Wisconsin on Saturday. | Peralta threw a 30-pitch simulated game Tuesday without issue, and will now head out on a rehab assignment as he continues through the progression. While he's still got a ways to go before rejoining the team, it's at least a positive step forward. |
|
| Jul 7 2015 | Peralta (oblique) three a 30-pitch simulated game Tuesday and experienced no pain, the Journal-Sentinel's Todd Rosiak reports. | He threw all of his pitches and was upbeat after the simulated game. Peralta said he will talk with the staff soon about a rehab assignment. It sounds like a late-July return to the Brewers' rotation could be in the cards for the big righty. |
|
| Jun 29 2015 | Peralta (oblique) threw his first bullpen session since going on the disabled list Monday, and indicated that it went well, Tom Haudricourt of the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel reports. | Peralta hopes to depart on a rehab assignment within the next couple weeks, but that should unfold as he continues to go through his side sessions. His timetable hinges on how quickly he goes through rehab, but he took a positive first step forward Monday. |
|
| May 25 2015 | Peralta is headed for the 15-day DL with a rib-cage strain, Adam McCalvy of MLB.com reports. | Peralta's injury was initially labeled left side tightness, but it's now being classified as a rib-cage strain and the right-hander will land on the DL as a result. David Goforth will be recalled in a corresponding move, but Goforth hasn't started since 2013, so it seems likely the Brewers will turn elsewhere to fill Peralta's rotation spot. |
|
| May 25 2015 | Peralta was placed on the 15-day DL on Monday with a rib-cage strain. | Manager Craig Counsell said Peralta will miss at least four weeks with the injury. David Goforth will be recalled Tuesday to take Peralta's spot on the roster, but Peralta's replacement in the rotation is to be determined. Michael Blazek could be an option after tossing three scoreless, one-hit innings in relief of Peralta on Friday. |
|
| May 24 2015 | Peralta (side tightness) is at risk of missing Wednesday's scheduled start, Tom Haudricourt of the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel reports. | Peralta exited Friday's game against the Braves due to side tightness, but was optimistic that he wouldn't have to miss a turn in the rotation as a result. That notion may no longer hold true, however, as he isn't considered "a sure thing" for that start anymore. Peralta is one of the few consistent options in the Milwaukee starting rotation, so his loss, in any capacity, would be a tough hit for a team that is shallow at the position. |
|
| May 23 2015 | Peralta (side tightness) will play catch Sunday, Tom Haudricourt of the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel reports. | The right-hander said he felt "a little better" Saturday, a day after leaving a start after four scoreless innings with left side tightness. Peralta is hoping he won't have to miss a turn in the rotation, but he'll likely need to complete a bullpen session in the coming days to get the green light to toe the rubber. |
|
| May 22 2015 | Peralta left Friday's game against Atlanta after four innings with left side tightness. | Peralta seemed to be in a groove before being lifted for a pinch hitter, allowing one hit and two walks over four scoreless frames, but evidently he was battling through some side tightness. Consider Peralta day-to-day and questionable to make his next start until more information becomes available. |
|
| May 22 2015 | Peralta was lifted for a pinch hitter in the fourth inning of Friday's game, Tom Haudricourt of the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel reports. | It wasn't obvious that something was ailing Peralta and the Brewers have not yet issued a statement, but it seems he's dealing with an injury of some kind given the circumstances. The Brewers were leading 9-0 against the Braves when Peralta left the game. |
|
| May 12 2015 | Peralta struck out four and walked one while holding the White Sox to two runs on six hits over six innings Monday night. He did not factor in the decision. | The Brewers' bullpen coughed up a five-run lead following Peralta's exit, while Jonathan Broxton was credited with the victory despite giving up two runs on four hits in his lone inning. Peralta has been quietly chipping away at his ratios since back-to-back rough starts against the Cardinals and Reds in mid-April. He's scheduled to make his next start Sunday against the Mets at Citi Field. |
|
| May 6 2015 | Peralta pitched eight innings of two run ball on Wednesday in a 6-3 win against the Dodgers. | Peralta gave up two runs on seven hits, striking out six batters without walking anyone. After getting terrible run support up to this point, Peralta finally got help from the offense to earn his first win of the season. He's been much better than his 1-4 record speaks. |
|
| May 1 2015 | Peralta allowed just one run on eight hits, walking two and striking out six over six innings in a 1-0 loss to the Cubs on Friday. | This marked Peralta's best start of the season as he gave up just one run over six innings. Peralta got banged around early, but settled in after a couple of innings. Unfortunately for him, the Brewers offense couldn't provide him any run support. Peralta brought his ERA down to 4.35 and he'll look to improve on it at home against the Dodgers in his next start. |
|
| Apr 20 2015 | Peralta faltered late Monday, ultimately allowing six runs over seven innings of work against the Reds. | Peralta didn't allow a run through five innings, but was hurt by home runs from Zack Cozart and and Joey Votto in the sixth and seventh innings. The righty has had a bit of trouble early in the season, registering a 5.68 ERA to go with his 0-2 record. His next start will come against the Cardinals this weekend. |
|
| Apr 16 2015 | Peralta gave up four runs on 10 hits with a strikeout and a walk over five innings Wednesday in a loss to the Cardinals. | Peralta was only six pitches in when the Cardinals took a 2-0 lead. Matt Carpenter singled and Jason Heyward doubled before Matt Holliday singled them in. The Cardinals scored again in the fourth when Jhonny Peralta, Jon Jay and Yadier Molina had successive singles before Carpenter doubled Molina in. It was only the second time that Peralta gave up 10+ hits in his career. His next start will be Monday against Cincinnati. |
|
| Apr 8 2015 | Peralta allowed seven hits and two runs over seven innings while striking out two and walking none in a no-decision Wednesday against the Rockies. | It was a quality start for Peralta, but he couldn't pick up the win as he allowed a solo home run to Corey Dickerson with one out in the seventh that tied the game at two. Peralta has looked good this spring and he'll look to pick up his first win when he faces off against the Cardinals next Wednesday. |
|
| Apr 2 2015 | Peralta has given up four earned runs over 14.1 innings (2.51 ERA) while posting an 11:4 K:BB ratio in four starts this spring. | Peralta has thrown the ball well this spring coming off last year's breakout campaign. He will make his final spring start Friday before making his first start of the regular season next Wednesday against the Rockies in Miller Park. |
|
| Sep 21 2014 | Peralta allowed five hits and one run over seven innings in a loss to Pittsburgh on Sunday. | Peralta was a hard-luck loser Sunday, and will hope his offense can pack more of a punch Saturday at home against the Cubs. The right-hander, who has given up two or fewer earned runs in three consecutive outings, possesses a 3.62 ERA, 1.32 WHIP and 141:60 K:BB ratio in 191.2 innings this season. |
|
| Sep 16 2014 | Peralta gave up two earned runs on five hits and one walk with three strikeouts in seven innings Tuesday against the Cardinals. | He gave up both runs in the first inning, and then was dominant over his final six frames. Peralta has now logged three straight quality starts after a shaky end to July when he gave up 13 runs over his final two starts of the month. Last season, Peralta pitched a career-high 183.1 innings, but with two starts remaining in 2014, he should have no problem setting a new career high, as he already sits at 177.2. He has already given up more home runs (23) than he did last season (19), but all of his other numbers have improved, and if he can cut down on the long balls in 2015, Peralta could continue to ascend the National League pitching ranks. He'll take the mound next on Sunday in Pittsburgh, and then will make his last start of the regular season Sept. 27 at home against the Cubs. |
|
| Sep 11 2014 | Peralta picked up his 16th win of the season Wednesday, allowing a run on five hits with three walks and five strikeouts over 6.2 innings against the Marlins. | Peralta was able to earn the Brewers their second victory in 15 games and fourth in 20 contests. After blowing up at the end of August -- giving up 13 runs in two starts -- the right-hander has started September off with two consecutive quality starts. Peralta will pitch Tuesday in St. Louis. |
|
| Sep 4 2014 | Peralta (15-10) struck out seven while allowing one three runs on seven hits and two walks Thursday against the Cardinals. | While that's three straight losses for Peralta, he certainly looked a mile better in this start than he did over the last two, when he surrendered 13 earned runs. He's slated to draw the Marlins on Wednesday. |
|
| Aug 30 2014 | Peralta gave up six runs on nine hits over three innings a losing effort against the Giants on Friday night. | On a night where the Brewers could have benefited in a big way from a quality start, Peralta simply couldn't command his pitches. He'll try to rebound Wednesday in a road start against the Cubs. |
|
| Aug 23 2014 | Peralta (15-8) picked up the loss as he allowed eight runs- seven earned- in five innings against the Pirates on Saturday. | Peralta had won six of his previous seven starts prior to Saturday's outing and he's still tied for first in the league in wins. For the season, he sports a 3.56 ERA and a 121:49 K:BB ratio. |
|
| Aug 17 2014 | Peralta pitched a five-hit shutout with five strikeouts in six innings to lead the Brewers to the 7-2 win over the Dodgers on Sunday. | Peralta moves into a tie for the major league-lead in wins, with 15. It was his first shutout since July 13. Since a nine-run outing on July 8, Peralta has allowed nine runs in 50.1 innings of work. His ERA has moved to 3.32 as a result. |
|
| Aug 7 2014 | Peralta collected his MLB-leading 14th win Thursday against the Giants, allowing one run on seven hits and a walk over 6.2 innings. He struck out nine. | Big strikeout numbers like this have been rare for Peralta, who entered Thursday's action with just 99 whiffs in 138 innings. But even if he hasn't been totally dominant, he's been steady, and the Milwaukee offense has been very supportive. He'll try to make it 15 wins Tuesday against the Cubs at Wrigley. |
|
| Aug 1 2014 | Peralta picked up his 13th win on Friday against the Cardinals as he gave up two runs on five hits, while striking out three and walking four over 6.2 innings pitched. | The free passes didn't hurt Peralta too much as he was able to work out of some jams against Cardinals' hitters. Peralta lowered his ERA to 3.52 on the year and continues to make marked improvement in his second full season with the Brewers. |
|
| Jul 26 2014 | Peralta got the job done against the Mets on Saturday, tossing 5.2 innings of six-hit, two-run ball in what ended up as his 12th win of the season. He also walked three and struck out two. | That's a new career high in wins for the third-year big leaguer, who went 11-15 in 2013. Peralta has been great in his last three starts (all wins), scattering a combined 12 hits, three earned runs, five walks and 12 K's in 19.2 innings. Look for him to keep the momentum going in his next start, scheduled for Friday's series opener with the Cards at Busch Stadium. |
|
| Jul 22 2014 | Peralta limited the Reds to one run over seven frames while gathering his 11th win of the season Monday. He struck out five batters and scattered three hits and two walks. | Peralta has come up big in back-to-back starts against divisional rivals, holding both the Reds and Cardinals to one run over seven innings. He hit a speed bump earlier in the month with rough outings against the Blue Jays and Phillies, but appears to have put his season back no track. |
|
| Jul 13 2014 | Peralta rebounded nicely from his last outing, pitching seven innings Sunday to pick up his 10th win of the season against St. Louis, giving up three hits and an unearned run while striking out five. | It was Peralta's first quality start since mid-June. The 25-year old is sporting a respectable 3.72 ERA through 19 starts this season. |
|
| Jul 9 2014 | Peralta was shelled for nine runs on eight hits and three walks while striking out four batters in just 4.1 innings Tuesday in picking up the loss (9-6) in the Brewers' 9-7 loss to the Phillies. | Peralta has now given up four runs or more (17 overall) in each of his last three starts (16.1 innings). He now sports a 3.95 ERA, 1.34 WHIP and 84:31 K:BB ratio in 111.2 innings pitched this year. Peralta is next scheduled to take the mound Sunday at home against St. Louis. |
|
| Jul 2 2014 | Peralta gave up four runs on nine hits over six innings and did not factor in the decision Wednesday against Toronto. | He faced two batters in the seventh inning prior to departing, but the Jays were able to knock Peralta around and increase his season ERA for the fourth consecutive start. As it lines up, Peralta will have two starts in the final week before the All-Star break, facing the Phillies on Tuesday at Miller Park before a home start against the Cards on July 13. |
|
| Jun 26 2014 | Peralta (9-5) allowed four runs on eight hits in six innings Thursday, striking out seven and walking to in a win over Colorado. | Peralta hasn't exactly been dominant lately, and despite decent bat-missing, Thursday was no different. One thing he keeps doing, though, is winning -- he's got victories in five consecutive starts. Peralta will go for six in Toronto next week. |
|
| Jun 21 2014 | Peralta struck out two and walked one while giving up four runs -- three earned -- on eight hits over 7.2 innings in a win over the Rockies on Saturday. | Considering the environment, it was an effective outing from Peralta. The victory Saturday was his eighth of the season and the fourth consecutive start in which he's picked up a win. For the season, Peralta has found a new level of success thanks in large part to lowering his walk rate (2.17 BB/9), but his 3.02 ERA is currently backed by a 3.93 FIP, likely due to his mediocre 6.51 K/9. Peralta will face the Rockies again in his next start, but at Miller Park on Thursday instead of Coors Field. |
|
| Jun 16 2014 | Peralta picked up his seventh win Monday, giving up three runs on nine hits with no walks and six strikeouts against Arizona. | Peralta needed 103 pitches (66 strikes) to get through seven solid innings Monday. At one point, he retired 10 Diamondbacks in a row. Peralta improves to 7-3 on the year with a 2.98 ERA, 1.23 WHIP and 61 strikeouts in 80.2 innings. He'll go again Saturday in Colorado. |
|
| Jun 5 2014 | Peralta allowed four runs and five hits in just five innings Thursday, but stilled earned his fifth win of the year. | Peralta has been generally strong this season, although he was coming off his worst start of the year. His average fastball velocity is awesome at around 95 mph, yet that hasn't translated into a huge strikeout rate (entered Thursday with a 7.01 K/9). On the other hand, he's significantly lowered his walk rate from 3.58 BB/9 last season to 2.34 BB/9 this year, which bodes well for future success. In his next start, the young righty has a favorable matchup, at least on paper, squaring off against the Mets at Citi Field. |
|
| May 31 2014 | Peralta struggled through 5.2 innings on Saturday, allowing six runs on five hits in two walks, striking out five. | Peralta's big blows came on two two-run home runs both given up to Cubs' first baseman Anthony Rizzo. He also struggled with his command on the mound, throwing only 63 strike on 105 total pitches and only 14 first-pitch strikes out of a possible 23. The combination led to the young righty's worst outing of the season and his only allowing more than three runs. |
|
| May 24 2014 | Peralta struck out five and walked two while giving up one run on six hits over six innings against the the Marlins on Saturday. | After a start Monday where he was fighting his mechanics, Peralta bounced back and managed to work out of the occasional jam in Saturday's start despite picking up just six of his 60 strikes with a swing-and-miss. The biggest difference for Peralta this season continues to be fewer walks, he's trimmed his BB/9 from 3.6 in 2013 to 2.3 through 10 starts. |
|
| May 14 2014 | Peralta threw seven innings of one-run ball Wednesday night against the Pirates, allowing five hits and a walk with four strikeouts. | Peralta leads Brewer starters in wins (4) and ERA (2.05), although he didn't record a decision Wednesday. He's now turned in seven straight quality starts for the Brew Crew, and continues to be a consistent force for fantasy owners. Peralta is lined up for two starts against the Braves and Marlins next week. |
|
| May 7 2014 | Peralta gave up two runs on 11 hits while striking out three over six innings in a loss to the D-Backs on Wednesday. | While the D-Backs collected as many hits Wednesday as Peralta allowed in his previous two starts combined, the young right-hander kept his team close on a day where he simply didn't have his best stuff. Peralta is lined up to face Gerrit Cole at the Pirates at Miller Park in his next scheduled start May 14th. |
|
| May 2 2014 | Peralta pitched eight scoreless innings, while giving up three hits and striking out seven hitters Friday evening against the Reds. | The young hurler goes to 4-1 on the season, as he amassed his fifth quality start in a row for the Brew Crew. Peralta was in a groove all night long, only allowing one base runner to reach third base the entire game. Peralta also chipped in with the bat, going 1-for-3 with two RBI. |
|
| Apr 27 2014 | Peralta took his first loss of the season Sunday, allowing eight hits, three earned runs and a walk to go along with six strikeouts. | Peralta recorded a quality start, but didn't receive a single run of support from his Brewers, resulting in the loss. Peralta has been a gem for fantasy owners this season, considering his average draft position, as he hasn't allowed more than three earned runs in a single start this season. He'll carry a 2.56 ERA into his next scheduled start against the Reds. |
|
| Apr 21 2014 | Peralta (back) will take the mound Monday versus the Padres, MLB.com reports. | Peralta was removed from his previous start last Wednesday due to some tightness in his back, but the ailment won't alter the order of the Brewers' rotation. With back-to-back quality starts on the ledger, he has a friendly outing on tap against a San Diego squad that has scored more than three runs only six times in 19 contests in 2014. |
|
| Apr 16 2014 | Peralta gave up six hits and one earned run over 6.1 innings as he netted the win, while striking out three and walking only one hitter against the Cardinals on Wednesday. | Peralta received plenty of offensive support from the Brewers' hitters, while avoiding trouble most of the night. He only gave up one extra-base hit, Allen Craig's first home run on the year. Peralta is now 2-0 on the season, and he'll face the Padres in his next start. |
|
| Apr 11 2014 | Peralta was dominant Friday, holding the Pirates to two runs (one earned) on four hits and two walks over seven innings. He struck out four batters. | Peralta looked to be making a run at shutout before he was touched up for a two-run homer by the Pirates' Neil Walker in the seventh inning. In any case, Peralta has given credibility to the back end of the Milwaukee rotation over two starts, providing a 2.25 ERA and striking out 10 batters in 12 innings. |
|
| Mar 16 2014 | Peralta owns a 4.15 ERA in 13 innings over four appearances, including three starts, this spring. | Peralta has given up six earned runs over his last eight innings after not allowing one over his first five frames, but he has walked just four batters all spring and has yet to allow a home run. Peralta will open the season with a spot in the Brewers' starting rotation, but it remains to be seen just exactly where he will slot in at the beginning of the season. |
|
| Sep 24 2013 | Peralta will not make his final start of the season, Adam McCalvy of MLB.com reports. | It seems Peralta developed a blister in his last start, but the Brewers also feel the right-hander has worked enough already in his first full MLB season. The 24-year-old Peralta will finish the 2013 campaign with an 11-15 record, a 4.37 ERA, a 1.42 WHIP and 129 strikeouts. His overall numbers are inflated by a rough April and May, as Peralta has posted a 3.48 ERA since the beginning of June. He seems like a good bet for a rotation spot next season. |
|
| Sep 22 2013 | Peralta improved to 11-15 Sunday as he gave up three earned runs on five hits over five innings against St. Louis. | Peralta struck out three and walked five, thus expanding his pitch count to 88 by the time he left. He'll make one more start, on the road, against the Mets. |
|
| Sep 16 2013 | Peralta pitched well in a winning effort Monday, allowing just an unearned run over six innings of work. | Peralta has now fired four straight quality starts, over which span he is averaging 6.5 strikeouts per game. The young righty will look to continue his recent success when he takes the mound against the Cardinals this weekend. |
|
| Sep 4 2013 | Peralta (9-14) tossed a quality start Wednesday, giving up three runs on nine hits while striking out six over six innings in the win over the Pirates. | Peralta did a good job of keeping the ball down Wednesday, forcing 10 ground balls while allowing just three fly balls. His 4.51 ERA and 1.43 WHIP aren't pretty by any means, but Peralta has provided value based on his ability to strike out batters this season. |
|
| Aug 31 2013 | Peralta gave up three runs on four hits and two walks with six strikeouts over six innings against the Angels on Friday. | A decent quality start for the Brewers' young right-hander who has now, unfortunately lost five of his last six decisions, but managed to give up three or fewer runs in five of his last six starts. He's been a little inconsistent over his last three starts, but with some decent strikeout potential, could still be worth streaming over the final month of the season. His next start against Pittsburgh, however, might not be the best place to start. |
|
| Aug 24 2013 | Peralta allowed just one earned run over five innings and did not factor in the decision Saturday against the Reds. | He gave up seven hits while walking one and striking out two. Had it not been for his high pitch-count, 103 pitches after five innings, Peralta would have remained in the game for at least another inning, perhaps preventing a John Axford meltdown that ultimately cost the Brewers a win. His ERA on the season now sits at 4.51 to tag along with 100 strikeouts and 59 walks. |
|
| Aug 11 2013 | Peralta gave up two earned runs on just four hits over eight innings pitched Sunday but fell to 8-12 on the year. | He simply got out-dueled by Felix Hernandez in this one. Still, Peralta has given up just five earned runs combined in his last three starts. He'll look to get back into the win column in his next start against Cincinnati. |
|
| Aug 6 2013 | Peralta picked up his eighth win of the season Tuesday, allowing five hits and one earned run in 6.1 innings. | The 24-year-old moved to 8-11 on the season with a 4.42 ERA. Peralta has allowed three runs or fewer in eight of his last nine starts. |
|
| Jul 31 2013 | Peralta (7-11) surrendered four runs (three earned) on five hits and two walks while striking out five over five innings Wednesday. | Despite a soft matchup, Peralta could not record a quality start Wednesday. He did a good job of throwing strikes (55 strikes - 32 balls), but a couple of home runs eventually did him in. After getting off to a torrid start in July -- 0.31 ERA through first four starts -- Peralta has really fallen off over his last two starts (8.31 ERA). He will look to bounce back in another favorable matchup against San Francisco next Tuesday. |
|
| Jul 26 2013 | Peralta could not escape the fourth inning Friday against the Rockies, as he allowed eight runs (five earned) on seven hits in 3.2 frames en route to his 10th loss of the year. | Peralta had been on something of a roll of late, but then he ran into Coors Field. The Brewers' defense did him few favors, but the Rockies' offense was able to mount two four-run innings while he was on the mound. He will try to get back on track against the Cubs, sans Alfonso Soriano, in his next start. |
|
| Jul 21 2013 | Peralta tossed a dominating eight scoreless innings Sunday, allowing just two hits and two walks to go with seven strikeouts, during the Brewers' walkoff win versus the Marlins. | Peralta has now held the opposition scoreless in four of his last six starts, a span in which he's posted a 3-1 record, 0.87 ERA, 0.968 WHIP, and 32:15 K:BB ratio in 41.1 innings. While the Brewers' pitching woes have been well noted this season, Peralta and a steady bullpen pushed the team's record to 9-8 in the month of July. His upcoming nod takes place Friday at Colorado, who hit him around in his first start of the season to the tune of four runs in 5.1 innings. |
|
| Jul 14 2013 | Peralta gave up one earned run on seven hits over seven innings against Arizona on Sunday while striking out eight. | That's one earned run allowed over his last 21.1 innings pitched for Peralta as we head into the break. The second year starter seems to be rounding into form after a rocky start to the season. |
|
| Jul 9 2013 | Peralta pitched a three-hit, complete-game shutout Tuesday against the Reds, giving up four walks while striking out six for his sixth win of the season. | His start was pushed back a couple days to Tuesday because of hamstring tightness that forced him to leave his previous start early, but this was clearly not an issue against the Reds, as he notched the first complete game of his career. Peralta has been quite inconsistent this year, but there's no denying he's been better of late, posting a 4.33 ERA in June, compared to ERAs of 5.02 and 7.71 in April and May, respectively. The 113 pitches required for Tuesday's gem marked a career high for Peralta, who will pitch again Sunday in Arizona. |
|
| Jul 6 2013 | Peralta (hamstring) will not start Sunday against the Mets and has been pushed back to Tuesday against the Reds, ESPN's Adam Rubin reports | It's always possible that Peralta will be pushed back again, but for now it looks like he'll be facing a solid Cincinnati lineup instead of the feeble Mets. He left his last start early because of tightness in his left hamstring and is not expected to land on the disabled list. |
|
| Jul 3 2013 | Manager Ron Roenicke described Peralta's (hamstring) status for his next start as "iffy," MLB.com's Adam McCalvy reports. | Though Peralta himself believes he'll be healthy for Sunday's scheduled start against the Mets, Roenicke demurred, with the long-term absence of fellow starter Marco Estrada due to a hamstring injury likely shaking his confidence in Peralta to return in time. Peralta was able to get take part in weightlifting exercises Wednesday and felt nothing more than the light tightness one might expect. |
|
| Jul 3 2013 | Peralta (hamstring) believes he will be ready for his next start, the Brewers' official site reports. He left his Tuesday start in the sixth inning with a strained left hamstring. | Peralta's next start is scheduled for Sunday against the Mets, but fantasy owners should monitor his progress. Overall, Peralta has been inconsistent this season, owning a 5.27 ERA and 1.57 WHIP, with a 56:39 K:BB ratio. Although he has a favorable potential matchup against the Mets, owners should have a backup option in place, just in case the start ends up being pushed back. |
|
| Jul 2 2013 | Peralta has been diagnosed with a left hamstring strain, the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel reports. | Peralta left Tuesday's game in the sixth inning after experiencing tightness. He is still considered day-to-day. |

| Jul 2 2013 | Peralta left Tuesday's game with hamstring tightness, the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel reports. | The injury couldn't have come at a worse time for Peralta, who was in the midst of one of his best outings of the season. He left with one out in the sixth inning and had allowed just three hits to that point. Consider him day-to-day for now. |
|
| Jun 27 2013 | Peralta (5-9) was stuck with seven runs on eight hits over five innings Wednesday against the Cubs, but only three of the runs were earned. He struck out two and walked one. | He was hurt by errors, but Peralta was his own undoing, giving up a three-run jack to Dioner Navarro. Those runs won't hurt his ERA (which remains ugly at 5.58), and they don't help much for the eye test either. Peralta's been a very risky start in fantasy this year, and the rewards have not been worth the risk. |
|
| Jun 21 2013 | Peralta tossed seven shutout innings, allowing two hits and four walks while striking out four in a 2-0 win over Atlanta on Friday night. | It was a much-needed strong performance by the Brewers right-hander, but with a 5.59 ERA and a 49:36 K:BB ratio over 87 innings, he is still not someone who can be fully trusted in your fantasy rotation. |
|
| Jun 1 2013 | Peralta gave up two runs on eight hits and a walk while striking out six over seven innings in a win over the Phillies on Saturday. | The right-hander went a season-high seven innings Saturday and matched his season high with six strikeouts. He had lost his last four decisions prior to Saturday, and while it was a nice performance for Peralta, he's far from a reliable option at this point. |
|
| May 31 2013 | Peralta's next start has been moved up a day, from Sunday to Saturday, MLB.com's Adam McCalvy reports. | The Brewers were planning to give Peralta an extra day of rest between his last start Monday and his next one this weekend, but the team will instead keep him on turn, and use Mike Fiers on Sunday instead. Peralta will face the same Phillies team he would have pitched against Sunday, and take on right-hander Tyler Cloyd. |
|
| May 27 2013 | Peralta struggled through another rough outing Monday, giving up four runs (three earned) over five innings in a 6-3 loss to the Twins. | Peralta struck out just three batters, but he surrendered five free passes and thus need 108 pitches to complete five innings. He has yet to allow less than two runs in an outing and owns a 6.35 ERA heading into Saturday's scheduled start against the Phillies. |
|
| May 22 2013 | Peralta was roughed up for the second start in a row taking the loss after allowing six runs on seven hits and two walks over 1.2 innings on Wednesday against the Dodgers. | Peralta needed 55 pitches to make it through 1.2 innings and looked out of it on the mound. He did have a few defensive lapses behind him that caused two of the runs to be unearned but he still walked in two runs with the bases loaded that led to him getting the hook. He is a bright prospect for the Brewers but the location issues are a growing concern for him at this point. His next start is scheduled at home on Tuesday against the Twins. |
|
| May 18 2013 | Peralta was hit hard Friday by the Cardinals and gave up seven runs (six earned) on 11 hits and a walk with six strikeouts. | The first inning was the toughest as Peralta coughed up five runs, including a grand slam to David Freese. Though he minimized the run damage, he still got hit around and the 11 hits against matched a season-high, leaving his WHIP at a 1.58 on the year. He'll face the Dodgers next week at home where he is 2-2 with a 6.49 ERA. |
|
| May 8 2013 | Peralta impressed during Milwaukee's victory over Texas on Tuesday, yielding three runs (two earned) on five hits and no walks, while notching two strikeouts across six innings. | Peralta mixed in all his pitches nicely, with a second-inning homer his only major mistake. He has now gathered wins in three of his past four starts, though his strikeout rate (4.62 K/9IP) leaves much to be desired. Nevertheless, he is slated to start Saturday in Cincinnati, where he emerged from the hitter's playground with scoreless outing last September. |
|
| May 2 2013 | Peralta lasted just 4.1 innings Thursday, surrendering six runs and 11 hits with three strikeouts. | Peralta was fine early, but ran into major trouble in the third inning, ultimately allowing six runs with two outs. He wasn't hit particularly hard (all 11 hits were singles), although that's of little consolation to those that used him. After a couple of duds early in the season, Peralta had looked solid over his last two starts before taking another step back Thursday. |
|
| Apr 27 2013 | Peralta held the Dodgers to three runs on six hits over six innings Saturday to earn his second win of the season. | He only struck out two of the 26 batters he faced, but his defense was able to convert enough outs to keep the game competitive. He only walked one, which was his lowest total this season. Keep in mind the Dodgers started Jerry Hairston at first base, not Adrian Gonzalez. He will take on the Cardinals at home for his next start. |
|
| Apr 21 2013 | Peralta avoided a second consecutive pounding Sunday, allowing two runs on five hits and three walks, while tallying three strikeouts in 6.2 innings, as the Brewers eked out a series sweep over the Cubs. | After giving up five runs in four frames in his previous appearance, Peralta turned it around, perhaps briefly, by forcing 13 groundballs out of 27 batters faced. His peripherals (a 5.16 ERA and 1.54 WHIP) have failed to impress in his first full major league season, as it may take some time to rid himself of all the cobwebs in his way. Nonetheless, he'll take the bump once again next weekend versus the faltering Dodgers. |
|
| Apr 17 2013 | Peralta was pounded to the tune of six runs (five earned) on seven hits and three walks, while posting one strikeout across four innings, but Milwaukee still managed to scrape past San Francisco on Tuesday. | Luckily for Peralta, he received plenty of run support in the third inning, when the Giants' Barry Zito was chased after allowing eight runs, including a grand slam off the bat of Yuniesky Betancourt. However, Peralta himself allowed plenty of baserunners in each frame, as San Francisco slowed chipped away at the lead before he left in the fifth inning with the bases juiced. Meanwhile, his next nod arrives Sunday against the Cubs at home, against whom he tossed a quality start (two runs in 6.2 innings) earlier this season. |
|
| Apr 9 2013 | Peralta gave up three runs (two earned) on six hits and two walks in 6.2 innings Tuesday, while striking out five Cubs, en route to a no-decision. | Peralta well enough to get the win Tuesday, but he got into some trouble in the seventh inning and the Brewers' bullpen couldn't help him out. His next start is Tuesday at home against the Giants where he'll go for his first win of the season. |
|
| Apr 3 2013 | Peralta gave up four runs on six hits while striking out four and walking three in a losing effort against Colorado on Wednesday night. | He was inconsistent throughout Wednesday's start, throwing just 48 of his 90 pitches for strikes before leaving during the sixth inning. Peralta is lined up to make his next start Tuesday at Wrigley Field against the Cubs. |
|
| Mar 29 2013 | Peralta has won a spot in the Brewers rotation, the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel reports. | Peralta had a clear path to a starting gig before the signing of Kyle Lohse muddled the picture a little bit, but he was still able to claim one of the final two rotation spots along with Mike Fiers. Regarded by many as the top young pitcher in the organization, Peralta flashed his considerable talents in a late-season trial with the Brewers, turning in a 2.48 ERA and striking out 23 batters over 29 innings. He'll likely have some growing pains in his first year as a full-time starter, but his lofty upside could make him worthy of a late-round flyer in mixed formats. |
|
| Mar 27 2013 | Peralta is now in competition with Chris Narveson and Mike Fiers for the final two spots in the Brewers' rotation following the addition of Kyle Lohse, the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel reports. | Previously, Peralta was penciled in as the team's No. 3 starter, so it would seem as though he has the inside track for the fourth spot. Both Peralta and Fiers have minor league options remaining, however, which could ultimately lead the Brewers to keep Narveson in one of the spots to begin the season. |
|
| Mar 19 2013 | Peralta was exceptional in just his third official appearance of the spring Tuesday, giving up one earned run over six innings against the Angels. | Peralta gave up six hits, but he did not walk a batter and struck out two while facing a lineup of primarily Angels regulars. Though Peralta has seen only limited action this spring, manager Ron Roenicke confirmed earlier Tuesday that Peralta would open the season in the Brewers' rotation. Peralta has just five major league starts under his belt, but as part of a rather inexperienced Brewers' rotation, he is on pace to open the season as the team's third starter. |
|
| Mar 1 2013 | Peralta (shoulder) threw two scoreless innings in his spring debut Thursday. | Peralta was dealing with some minor shoulder soreness early in camp, but he has not had any setbacks since, and his health should not be a concern at this point. Unless Peralta struggles mightily this spring, expect him to open the season in the Brewers' starting rotation. |
|
| Feb 21 2013 | Manager Ron Roenicke revealed Thursday that Peralta developed minor shoulder soreness early in camp, the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel reports. However, Peralta threw an impressive bullpen session Thursday and appears to be back on track. | Peralta will throw another bullpen session this weekend before advancing to live hitters, but it does not appear that the setback with his shoulder will affect him moving forward. Peralta's spring debut will be delayed a bit, but he it seems likely that he could jump into game action sometime next week. |
|
| Sep 29 2012 | Peralta (biceps) will not pitch again this season, the Milwaukee Journal-Sentinel reports. | Now that the Brewers are all but eliminated it makes sense to shut Peralta down. His performance over the last month helped the team briefly re-enter the playoff picture, and he'll have a shot to crack the starting rotation next season. |
|
| Sep 28 2012 | Peralta (biceps) underwent an MRI and was cleared by doctors, mlb.com's Adam McCalvy reports. | Peralta could still make another start this season, although if the Brewers are mathematically eliminated by Tuesday it would probably make more sense to skip him. |
|
| Sep 27 2012 | Peralta was removed from Thursday's game in the fifth inning with an apparent injury. | It was not immediately clear what type of injury Peralta suffered, but the Brewers were not ready to take any chances with their young hurler. Expect an update on Peralta's status as more information becomes available. |
|
| Sep 27 2012 | Peralta exited Thursday's game with biceps tendinitis, the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel reports. | Peralta mentioned the soreness in the dugout sometime around the second inning, which prompted third baseman Aramis Ramirez to call for the training staff when he noticed something off with Peralta in the sixth frame. The good news is the injury is not considered serious, but the bad news is it could prevent Peralta from making another start this season. |
|
| Sep 22 2012 | Peralta gave up three runs on five hits and four walks over 2.2 innings in a 10-4 loss to the Nationals on Saturday. | Peralta was lucky to only give up three runs considering how poorly he pitched, and things won't get any easier going forward as his next start is scheduled for Thursday in Cincinnati. |
|
| Sep 10 2012 | Peralta strung together his second straight good start Monday, holding the Braves to one run over six innings of work. | In two Major League starts, Peralta has thrown 12 innings of four run ball. Even though he didn't get the win in this start, his numbers were better than they were September 5, most notably the reduction in walks (one down from four). Peralta will try to continue his success against the Mets this weekend. |
|
| Sep 6 2012 | Peralta got the win in his first big-league start Wednesday, giving up three runs on five hits over six innings against Miami. | On the downside, he walked four and struck out just three -- not much of a ratio. Peralta's a high-talent arm, so expect the Brewers to give him the rest of the season to start earning a spot in next year's rotation. |
|
| Sep 4 2012 | Peralta was recalled from Triple-A Nashville on Tuesday morning, the Brewers' official site reports. | Peralta will get the start Wednesday against the Marlins. He has pitched just one inning for the Crew so far this season, allowing three hits and an earned run. He will take Mark Rogers' spot in the starting rotation. |
