Oswald Peraza News
The New York Yankees have transferred the minor-league rehab assignment of infielder Oswald Peraza (shoulder) from Single-A Tampa to Double-A Somerset. Peraza is moving to Double-A after going 2-for-5 with a home run, three runs scored and two walks in two games at Tampa. He's working his way back from a shoulder injury that he suffered in late February during spring training, so his rehab assignment isn't going to be a short one. But when the 23-year-old is ready to return, he could see decent playing time at the hot corner in the Bronx, depending on whether DJ LeMahieu is back from the injured list by then. The Venezuelan infielder has looked good in the minors but has yet to make his mark in the majors yet in the last two years, slashing .216/.298/.306 with three home runs, 16 RBI and six stolen bases in 70 total games.
New York Yankees infielder Oswald Peraza (shoulder) is scheduled to begin a minor-league rehab assignment on Tuesday night with Single-A Tampa. Peraza hasn't played at all this year after suffering a right-shoulder strain in spring training in late February. The 23-year-old is probably going to require a lengthy stint in the minor leagues before the Yankees consider adding him to the major-league roster. If he's able to return before DJ LeMahieu (foot) does, the 23-year-old infielder could see playing time at the hot corner in the Bronx. Peraza performed well in the minors last year but struggled in 52 contests at the big-league level, slashing .191/.267/.272 with two home runs, 14 RBI and four stolen bases in 191 plate appearances. When the entire Yankees roster is healthy, Peraza profiles as a utility infielder.
New York Yankees utility man Oswald Peraza (shoulder) is "deep into his throwing program" and is hitting at the team's spring complex in Tampa, FLA, according to manager Aaron Boone. However, Boone also noted that the 23-year-old remains weeks away from playing in minor-league games. Peraza bounced between the Yankees and Triple-A Scranton/Wilkes-Barre last season, scuffling to a .191 average with two homers and a .539 OPS in 52 games with the Yankees while improving to a .268 average with 14 homers, 16 steals, and an .836 OPS at the Triple-A level. With third baseman DJ LeMahieu leaving his minor-league rehab game with continued foot pain, Peraza could see reps at the hot corner upon his return depending on the severity of LeMahieu's ailment.

The potential starting shortstop for the New York Yankees, Oswald Peraza, has the tools fantasy baseball owners covet. He could be a five-category contributor with a little more seasoning. According to MLB.com, he has a 55-hit tool, 50-power tool, and 60-run tool, as well as one of the loudest bats in the system. Combine those with being in a potent lineup, and you can see the excitement. Peraza received a cup of coffee with the big league squad at the end of 2022 and produced a .306 average and .404 on-base percentage across 18 games. Peraza took a 2021 breakout to get noticed, and he's now a top-100 prospect. The 22-year-old stole 33 bases and hit 19 homers during 99 games in AAA last season, so the production is also there. If he wins the starting gig in New York, expect a 15-homer, 15-steal season from a shortstop, though his average may be closer to .260 than .300. ATC is on board with this assessment and projects a .247/.305/.390 slash line with eight homers, 31 RBI, 34 runs, and 12 stolen bases over 79 games. Peraza should provide double-digit steals and is a solid pick at his current ADP of 243.
