Wandy Peralta News
The New York Yankees placed left-handed relief pitcher Wandy Peralta (triceps) on the 15-day injured list (retroactive to Sept. 19) on Friday with a left-triceps strain and recalled pitcher Yoendrys Gomez from the minors in a corresponding move. Peralta will finish the 2023 season with a strong 2.83 ERA and 51 strikeouts in 54 relief innings pitched as well as four saves, but he was fortunate to have such a low ERA while walking 30 batters. The eight-year veteran will head to the free-agent market this winter. Peralta is good at limiting hard contact and generating plenty of swings and misses, but he's going to need to limit the free passes if he wants to continue being successful at the big-league level in 2024.
New York Yankees relief pitcher Wandy Peralta (triceps) is dealing with some "tricep stuff," according to manager Aaron Boone. Peralta hasn't pitched in almost a week and could be in danger of missing the remainder of the 2023 regular season. If this is the end of the line for the 32-year-old Dominican southpaw, he will finish the year with a 4-2 record, a solid 2.83 ERA (5.05 FIP), 1.22 WHIP, four saves, 30 walks and 51 strikeouts in 54 relief innings over 63 appearances out of the bullpen for the Yankees. Peralta has been pretty fortunate to have an ERA under 3.00 on the year with a bloated 13.2 percent walk rate, his highest walk rate since 2018 when he was with the Cincinnati Reds.
New York Yankees left-handed pitcher Wandy Peralta got the final four outs of the team's 4-1 win over the Los Angeles Dodgers, securing his fourth save of the season. Peralta allowed just one baserunner, a walk, and had no strikeouts. It was a nice bounce-back for Peralta, as he had just allowed two runs the day prior without recording an out. The save was the lefty's first since April 16, and it's hard to say if he is likely to get more opportunities given the way the Yankees use their bullpen. He should see some chances, but they certainly have other options they aren't afraid to go to. In deeper leagues Peralta should be rostered for the chance he gets a few saves, but outside of that and saves plus holds leagues, he can be left to waivers.
