• Jace Peterson: Issued release

  04/23/2024 • By RotoWire

  Peterson was released by the Diamondbacks on Monday, per MLB's transaction log. Peterson was designated for assignment Friday, and he'll hit the open market after failing to draw interest elsewhere. He went 1-for-22 with one RBI and two runs over 14 appearances prior to being released.

• Diamondbacks' Jace Peterson: DFA'd by Arizona

  04/19/2024 • By RotoWire

  The Diamondbacks designated Peterson for assignment Friday. Peterson was unable to make the most of his opportunities after shortstop Geraldo Perdomo (knee) was placed on the 10-day IL on April 7. Peterson hasn't recorded a hit since April 5, and he has reached base just four times over 26 plate appearances this season. In a corresponding move, the Diamondbacks recalled Pavin Smith from Triple-A Reno.

• Diamondbacks' Jace Peterson: Makes rare start

  04/19/2024 • By RotoWire

  Peterson started at shortstop and went 0-for-3 in Thursday's 5-0 loss to the Giants. Peterson, who extended a hitless run to 18 at-bats, made just his fourth start of the season. The lack of opportunities may explain his .045 batting average. At the time of shortstop Geraldo Perdomo's knee injury earlier this month, the lefty-hitting Peterson was in position to fill a strong side of a platoon, but that never materialized. Both Kevin Newman and Blaze Alexander continue to get work against right-handers.

• Diamondbacks' Jace Peterson: Starts at shortstop

  04/06/2024 • By RotoWire

  Peterson started at shortstop and went 1-for-3 with a run scored in Friday's 6-5 extra-inning loss to Atlanta. With primary shortstop Geraldo Perdomo (knee) dealing with right knee discomfort -- and expected to undergo an MRI on Saturday -- the lefty-hitting Peterson filled in at shortstop against Atlanta right-hander Spencer Strider. Peterson was eventually pinch hit for by Blaze Alexander in the eighth inning against lefty Aaron Bummer. It's unclear how long Perdomo will be unavailable, and shortstop should be covered by a combination of Peterson (against righties) and Alexander (lefties). Atlanta is throwing left-hander Max Fried on Saturday.

• Diamondbacks' Jace Peterson: Could be needed at shortstop

  04/04/2024 • By RotoWire

  Peterson could be needed to fill-in at shortstop if Geraldo Perdomo's knee injury prevents him from playing Friday. Peterson went 0-for-2 after entering Wednesday's extra-innings loss to the Yankees as a pinch hitter and second baseman. Perdomo was injured while rounding first base and removed from the game in the 10th inning. He'll get some time to heal with a day off Thursday before a weekend series in Atlanta. If the injury lingers, the lefty-hitting Peterson and righty Blaze Alexander are poised to start, likely depending on the handedness of the opposing starter. Right-hander Spencer Strider is scheduled to throw for Atlanta on Friday.
