David Peralta News
Los Angeles Dodgers outfielder David Peralta had a flexor tendon repair on his left, throwing arm on Wednesday. The injury occurred around the All-Star break. A free agent after the season, Peralta should be hitting and throwing by March. The 36-year-old isn't much of a fantasy option outside of the deepest or league-only formats at this point in his career.
Los Angeles Dodgers outfielder David Peralta (elbow) recently underwent surgery on his left elbow, per a story post on his Instagram account. It was a surprise operation, as Dodgers brass told reporters at their end-of-season press conference last week that there were no surgeries on the scheduled for Dodgers players. The 36-year-old veteran played in 133 games for LA in 2023, slashing .259/.294/.381 with seven home runs and 55 RBI while mostly playing left field for the Blue after signing a one-year, $6.5 million deal back in February. Scheduled to hit free agency at the conclusion of the World Series, it's unlikely that the Dodgers will be looking to re-sign the veteran left-handed hitter this winter.
Los Angeles Dodgers outfielder David Peralta is starting on the bench on Tuesday for Game 1 of a doubleheader against the Colorado Rockies at Coors Field. Enrique Hernandez is in left field and batting sixth, James Outman is manning center and is hitting seventh, and Jason Heyward is starting in right field and in the five-hole against Rockies right-hander Chase Anderson in the first game of a double dip. Peralta hasn't started in the last two games for the Dodgers as he endures a rough patch at the plate. The 36-year-old left-handed hitter has gone just 7-for-42 (.167) with no homers, four doubles, three RBI, 13 strikeouts, one steal and three runs scored in 16 games (11 starts) in September. If he doesn't pick it up in the final week of the regular season, Peralta may see his playing time suffer in the postseason.

Peralta finished in the Top 15 in BA last year with a ,300 BA, but that number is revealed to be stilted when you consider the .361 BABIP. Peralta's xBA was .263. He certainly is not an asset in power anymore, as the ISO has fallen 90 points over the past three seasons. Peralta has not made any real adjustments in Launch Angle, as his number remained in a consistent range at 6.4. The Exit Velocity also dipped a bit to 89.2 and the Hard Hit % fell from 40.9 to 36.3. There is no real reason for optimism at age 33. You are only going to get a mediocre to decent BA out of Peralta with some respectable pop. He is not making any apparent adjustments to his approach and trying to maintain his ho-hum levels of production. Peralta's ADP of 273 demonstrates what he is truly is, a player with little to no upside who you hope does not continue to fade if you settle for him as a late final pick for your outfield. Peralta did finish well in September/October, at .333 with 11 RBI. He will continue to hit sixth or seventh in the Arizona lineup. If you find yourself sighing and taking Peralta late, he figures to be just a decent stopgap in your lineup until you find someone more appealing.
