Oswald Peraza News
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.
New York Yankees manager Aaron Boone said that third baseman Oswald Peraza (shoulder) will start throwing on Wednesday and "he should start to build pretty quick from there." It doesn't sound like Peraza will be on the injured list much longer after dealing with a subscapularis strain in his right shoulder. The 23-year-old picked a bad time to be hurt to begin the year with DJ LeMahieu (foot) also on the injured list, which led the Yankees to trade for Jon Berti. Oswaldo Cabrera has gotten off to a hot start while filling in at the hot corner, too, so there may not be any playing time available for Peraza at the big-league level when he comes off the IL.
New York Yankees infielder Oswald Peraza will be shut down for the next six to eight weeks with a subscapularis strain in his right shoulder. The 23-year-old went for imaging on his shoulder as he was feeling consistent discomfort while throwing and it turns out he will miss a significant amount of time. It was a tough 2023 season for the youngster in the big leagues as Peraza hit just .191 with two homers and four stolen bases across 52 games with the Yankees in the 2023 season. He also hit .268 with 14 home runs and 16 stolen bags across 63 games at the Triple-A level. He was unlikely to see much playing time in the Yankees infield to begin with in the 2024 season but his fantasy value takes a major hit as he will miss a good chunk of the season altogether.

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.
