Wandy Peralta Stats

The New York Yankees and left-handed reliever Wandy Peralta avoided salary arbitration on Friday by agreeing to a one-year, $3.35 million deal. The 31-year-old Dominican southpaw was very sharp out of the bullpen in his second season in the Bronx, posting a career-best 2.72 ERA (2.86 FIP), 1.05 WHIP, four saves and 21.1 percent strikeout rate in 56 1/3 relief innings. Peralta was very useful for the Yankees in relief last year, but he doesn't project to carry much fantasy value in middle relief for the 2023 campaign. In his seven big-league seasons, he has a 4.07 ERA (4.40 FIP), 1.38 WHIP, nine saves and 240 strikeouts in 291 2/3 career innings over 322 outings (one start).

New York Yankees relief pitcher Wandy Peralta notched his fifth save of the season in Tuesday's win over the Braves. Peralta entered the game in a tight spot in the ninth inning with the bases loaded and just a one-run lead, though he eventually won a nine-pitch battle against Freddie Freeman to notch the save for New York. Aroldis Chapman has been a bit shaky since returning from the injured list, leaving the door open for players such as Peralta, though the latter would seem like an unlikely candidate for saves moving forward with all the other high-leverage options in the Yankee bullpen.

New York Yankees relief pitcher Wandy Peralta notched his third save of the season in Monday's 8-6 win over Kansas City. Peralta was part of a revolving door of relievers for the Yankees as they attempted to close out the Royals in the late innings, with the former finally getting the job done in the 11th frame. The lefty put two runners on base but managed to lock down the victory for New York. An unexpected closer, the former Giant only pitched the ninth because the Yankees had utilized their more trusted relievers earlier in the contest. Peralta has pitched to a 4.29 ERA in 21 innings, though he has limited value as he's mostly pitched in lower leverage situations.
