Wily Peralta Stats

The Washington Nationals signed free-agent right-hander Wily Peralta to a minor-league deal on Tuesday that includes an invite to major-league spring training. Peralta was strong for the Detroit Tigers in 28 relief appearances last year, posting a 2.58 ERA (4.08 FIP), 1.51 WHIP, 24 walks and 32 strikeouts in 38 1/3 innings pitched. He was eventually released in August and didn't latch on with another team before the end of the year. Peralta has 10 years of big-league experience, including 16 career saves in 911 1/3 innings pitched, so he can offer the Nationals depth in either the rotation (139 career starts) or the bullpen in 2023.

Detroit Tigers right-hander Wily Peralta cleared waivers and was granted his release on Monday. Peralta wasn't bad for the Tigers this year in 28 outings (one start), posting a 2.58 ERA (4.09 FIP), 1.51 WHIP, 32 strikeouts and 24 walks in 38 1/3 innings, but the two sides will part ways. But his underlying metrics proved that he was pretty fortunate to have an ERA under 3.00 and a 2-0 record. The 33-year-old veteran swing man will hope to latch on with another team to provide an experience bullpen arm down the stretch of the 2022 season.

Detroit Tigers right-hander Wily Peralta (hamstring) made his first rehab appearance at Triple-A Toledo on Wednesday. He pitched a scoreless ninth inning, allowing two hits and no walks while striking out three. He wound up earning a save for his efforts. The 33-year-old was primarily used as a starter by the team last year and he pitched well with a 3.07 ERA and a 1.33 WHIP. This year, however, he's mostly worked in middle relief and he's maintained a 2.16 ERA and a 1.41 WHIP. He landed on the injured list in early July due to a left hamstring strain. It seems likely he'll be back in the majors within the next week.
