David Peralta Nursing Back Tightness
8 months agoLos Angeles Dodgers outfielder David Peralta (back), who was scratched from Friday's lineup against the Seattle Mariners, is experiencing lower-back tightness. Kike Hernandez joined the lineup to defend left field in his absence. Peralta should be deemed day-to-day with his next chance to return coming on Saturday for the second game of the series. The 35-year-old longtime Arizona Diamondback is logging a career-worst .694 OPS with seven home runs, 20 doubles, 51 RBI, and four stolen bases in 351 at-bats with LA this year. Super-utility man Chris Taylor may also be asked to step up if Peralta misses additional time.
