Freddy Peralta To Start Opening Day For Brewers
10 months agoWith Brandon Woodruff (shoulder) recovering from shoulder surgery and Corbin Burnes recently being traded to the Baltimore Orioles, right-hander Freddy Peralta was the logical choice to be the team's Opening Day starter in 2024 on the road against the New York Mets on March 28. General manager Matt Arnold confirmed this. "We are counting on him this year, and he is going to be our Opening Day starter," Arnold said. Peralta has a 3.83 ERA over 580 innings pitched in his six-year career with the Brewers. After an injury-plagued 2022, the 27-year-old stayed healthy last year and set career-highs in starts (30) and innings (165 2/3) while boasting an excellent 30.9% strikeout rate, which ranked fourth in the league. He was undone by the long ball, so if Peralta can keep the ball in the yard more in 2024, he could be even better this year as a high-end No. 2 fantasy starter.
