  08/22/2024 • By RotoWire

  The Yankees optioned Peraza to Triple-A Scranton/Wilkes-Barre on Thursday. Since coming up from the minors Aug. 14, Peraza has appeared in four games and gone 2-for-10 with a home run and two runs scored. No corresponding move for his demotion has been announced yet, though he was initially recalled to serve as a roster replacement for Jazz Chisholm (elbow), who is eligible to return from the injured list Friday.

• Yankees' Oswald Peraza: Starting against lefty again

  08/21/2024 • By RotoWire

  Peraza will start at third base and bat eighth in Wednesday's game agains the Guardians. Peraza has now started in three consecutive games, but since all have come against left-handed pitching, it's unclear if he'll be given a look as the Yankees' primary third baseman while Jazz Chisholm (elbow) is on the injured list. Oswaldo Cabrera could still be the Yankees' preferred option at the position versus right-handed pitching.

  Peraza went 1-for-3 with a solo home run in Friday's 3-0 win over the Tigers. Making his first start in the majors this year, Peraza extended New York's lead to 2-0 in the fifth inning with a solo shot off Brant Hurter. The 24-year-old slashed just .191/.267/.272 with two homers in 52 games with the Yankees last season, though he'd been swinging the bat well in Triple-A prior to his call-up, batting .291 with a 1.063 OPS and six homers in his last 15 contests. With Jazz Chisholm (elbow) sidelined, Peraza should see some playing time at third base down the stretch.

• Yankees' Oswald Peraza: Expected to receive promotion

  08/14/2024 • By RotoWire

  The Yankees are expected to recall Peraza from Triple-A Scranton/Wilkes-Barre to take the roster spot of the injured Jazz Chisholm (elbow), Daniel Alvarez-Montes of ElExtraBase.com reports. There's still no word yet on the seriousness of Chisholm's left UCL injury, but a trip to the 10-day injured list is a foregone conclusion. Peraza is the logical choice to replace him on the roster and could see some action at third base in Chisholm's stead, although Oswaldo Cabrera and/or DJ LeMahieu figure to be given first dibs. The 24-year-old Peraza has yet to play an inning for the Yankees this season, having slashed .244/.351/.382 with eight homers and 17 steals across 65 contests with Scranton/Wilkes-Barre.
