Peraza signed with the Leones de Yucatan of the Mexican League on Thursday, Kiley McDaniel of ESPN.com reports. After electing free agency in November and receiving little interest in the open market, the 29-year-old infielder will look to make a name for himself in Mexico. Peraza hasn't appeared in the majors since 2021, and he slashed .261/.315/.366 across 147 plate appearances with Triple-A Syracuse last season.

Peraza was reassigned to minor-league camp by the Mets on Saturday Assuming Peraza sticks around in the organization, he's likely headed to Triple-A Syracuse. The infielder played in 20 games in the Grapefruit League before the demotion with a .282/.333/.359 slash over 43 plate appearances. Peraza could help the Mets before the 2023 season comes to an end as a bench option, but he will have to be added to the 40-man roster for that to occur.

Peraza (undisclosed) will start at second base and bat eighth in Monday's Grapefruit League game against the Cardinals, Tim Healey of Newsday reports. Peraza came off the bench for his spring debut Saturday, going 0-for-2 while manning the keystone for a few innings in the Mets' 5-2 win over the Marlins in a split-squad game. Now that Peraza will be making his first start of the Grapefruit League slate, it appears safe to conclude that he's healthy again after he closed the 2022 campaign on the 7-day injured list for the Red Sox's Triple-A affiliate in Worcester. Peraza is attending Mets big-league camp as a non-roster invitee and will most likely open the upcoming season at Triple-A Syracuse.

Peraza played 34 games for the Red Sox in 2020 but spent the 2021 campaign with the Mets before joining the Yankees on a minor-league deal prior to the 2022 season. He slashed .243/.293/.374 with five homers, 28 RBI, 19 runs and three stolen bases over 62 games at Triple-A Scranton/Wilkes-Barre to begin the year and will now serve as organizational depth for the Red Sox.
