Jhonny Peralta News
Boston Red Sox third baseman Jhonny Peralta was released on Thursday. Peralta had spent his entire time with the Triple-A affiliate Pawtucket. In 41 plate appearances Peralta managed to hit just .200 with four runs and five RBI while striking out 11 times. The veteran was signed June 23 to provide emergency depth at third base. With call-ups Deven Marrero and Tzu-Wei Lin filling in admirably for the big club the Peralta experiment is over. The move will also open up a roster spot for standout prospect Rafael Devers to be promoted.
The Boston Red Sox signed third baseman Jhonny Peralta to a minor league deal on Friday. Peralta will report to Triple-A Pawtucket on Monday. The St. Louis Cardinals released the veteran on June 13. In 21 games for the Cards Peralta managed just a .204 average with no RBI. Peralta adds some much needed depth to the Red Sox infield that has seen multiple injuries to Pablo Sandoval, Dustin Pedroia and Josh Rutledge in the last week alone.
St. Louis Cardinals infielder Jhonny Peralta's Cardinals career came to an end on Friday, as the team announced he'd been designated for assignment. The team now has 10 days to trade him or release him. Given his track record, he'll likely find another team interested in his services this season, but his days as a starter are almost certainly over. He can be safely dropped in mixed leagues.
