Lands on IL with strained triceps Peralta was placed on the 15-day injured list Friday, retroactive to Sept. 19, with a strained left triceps, Gary Phillips of the New York Daily News reports.

Impact Peralta hadn't pitched in several days because of the injury and now it will put an end to his season. The left-handed reliever was wild for the Yankees this year in walking 30 over 54 frames, but he still posted a 2.83 ERA, struck out 51 and notched four saves. Peralta will be a free agent this offseason.

Dealing with triceps issues Yankees manager Aaron Boone said Wednesday that Peralta is dealing with some "tricep stuff," Gary Phillips of the New York Daily News reports.

Impact Boone didn't go into much detail regarding Peralta's injury, but it could help explain why the 32-year-old lefty hasn't pitched in nearly a week. A firm return timeline won't be established until more information is provided, but fantasy managers should consider Peralta day-to-day going forward.

Picks up 14th hold Peralta earned a hold over the Mets on Wednesday with a perfect inning of work during which he struck out two batters.

Impact Peralta handled the seventh inning with ease for New York, punching out the first two hitters he faced and retiring the side in order on 15 pitches. The southpaw spent some time closing in mid-May but has primarily worked as the Yankees' top setup man this season, securing a team-high 14 holds while compiling four saves, three wins, a 2.31 ERA, a 1.21 WHIP and a 32:21 K:BB over 39 innings. Peralta is two holds shy of his career-high mark set in 2017 as a member of the Reds.

Earns four-out save Peralta walked one batter over 1.1 scoreless frames and picked up a save over the Dodgers on Sunday.

Impact Peralta posted a 5.87 ERA over eight appearances since his last save chance May 16. He's now converted four of his five opportunities this season with all four successful saves coming in the last month. Peralta is sporting a 2.84 ERA and 24:15 K:BB through 25.1 frames.

Deployed in eighth inning Friday Peralta picked up a hold against Cincinnati on Friday, striking out two batters in a perfect inning.

Impact Peralta came into Friday with three saves over the past week, but manager Aaron Boone chose to g go him in the eighth with New York clinging to a one-run lead. The southpaw got the job done with a pair of punchouts in a perfect inning, then was replaced by Nick Ramirez in the ninth. Peralta has pitched well this year and should continue to see save chances, but Friday's bullpen usage is a reminder that the Yankees haven't settled on him -- or anyone else -- as their full-time closer.

Serves up walkoff homer Peralta (2-1) took the loss Wednesday as the Yankees were downed 3-0 by the Blue Jays, recording one out in the 10th inning and giving up three runs (one earned) on one hit.

Impact With Cavan Biggio on second to begin the frame as the phantom runner, Whit Merrifield reached on a grounder up the middle that Anthony Volpe couldn't field cleanly before Danny Jansen hooked a first-pitch slider over the wall in right field to end the night. The long ball snapped Peralta's 10-appearance scoreless streak, and while his 2.16 ERA on the season is still sharp, his 1.38 WHIP and 17:10 K:BB in 16.2 innings aren't elite numbers. The veteran southpaw will still be in the high-leverage mix, but this stumble won't help his chances of locking up the closer role for the Yankees.

Notches third save Peralta walked one in a scoreless ninth inning Tuesday to record his third save of the season in a 6-3 win over the Blue Jays.

Impact The Yankees' bullpen got taxed early when Domingo German was ejected ahead of the fourth inning, but Clay Holmes was still saved for the eighth inning and Peralta for the ninth. Michael King, who had thrown 1.1 inning Monday, wasn't used. Peralta has now picked up a save in each of his last three appearances, and at least for now he appears to be manager Aaron Boone's preferred closing option. Holmes has a 10:1 K:BB over the course of a six-game scoreless streak, however, so it may not take much of a stumble from Peralta to drop him back into a setup role.

Back-to-back days with saves Peralta picked up the save during Saturday's 9-8 win over Tampa Bay, tossing a scoreless ninth in which he recorded one walk and one strikeout.

Impact Clay Holmes tossed 1.2 shutout innings as a set-up man, and Michael King was unavailable after allowing three runs Friday, so Wandy Peralta got the call in the ninth for a second straight day. He issued a two-out walk to Randy Arozarena but retired Brandon Lowe to end the game, marking the left-hander's ninth straight scoreless outing. Peralta is now 2-for-3 in save chances and sports a 1.76 ERA, 1.37 WHIP and 17:9 K:BB through 15.1 innings.

MAY 14, 2023 • NJ.COM

Notches first save of year Peralta gave up a hit and struck out two in a scoreless ninth inning Friday to record his first save of the season in a 6-5 win over the Rays.

Impact Ian Hamilton, Michael King and Clay Holmes had all worked earlier in the night, so when Anthony Rizzo gave the Yankees the lead with a two-run homer in the bottom of the eighth, manager Aaron Boone didn't have many other options to try and close things out. Peralta has been effective this season when called upon, collecting two wins and three holds over 17 appearances (plus Friday's save) with a 1.88 ERA and 16:8 K:BB through 14.1 innings, and if the team's late-inning picture does become a true committee, the 31-year-old would be the only lefty in the mix.

Fans nine in 5.2 spring frames Peralta pitched in six Grapefruit League games, allowing one run on eight hits and two walks while posting a 9:2 K:BB over 5.2 innings.

Impact Peralta's 14.3 K/9 this spring probably shouldn't be hyped up too much given that the veteran has never averaged a strikeout per inning in any of his seven big-league campaigns. Still, it was a good spring overall for the left-hander, who is coming off a career-best performance last season during which he posted a 2.72 ERA, 1.05 WHIP and 47:17 K:BB across 56.1 innings. Peralta is expected to have an important role in the Yankees' bullpen again this season, as he's currently the only lefty reliever slated to be on the Opening Day roster.
