Oswald Peraza Expected To Return Thursday
2 years agoNew York Yankees shortstop prospect Oswald Peraza (foot) is dealing with a minor foot injury in camp and is expected to return to the Grapefruit League lineup on Thursday, according to sources. Peraza is battling for the starting shortstop gig in spring training this year with fellow prospect Anthony Volpe and Isiah Kiner-Falefa. The 22-year-old Venezuelan has gone 2-for-9 so far in spring games with one stolen base, two walks and a strikeout in 12 plate appearances. His speed will probably be his best asset initially in the majors, with his power slowly developing as he matures. Peraza could be the favorite to open the 2023 season as the Yankees' shortstop, but he'll also need to hold off Volpe in the long run.
