Oswald Peraza Starting At Third Base Friday
2 years agoNew York Yankees rookie infielder Oswald Peraza is starting at third base and is hitting sixth in the batting order on Friday against left-hander Yusei Kikuchi and the Toronto Blue Jays. This will be the 22-year-old Peraza's first start at the hot corner in his professional career. DJ LeMahieu is serving as the designated hitter and is batting fifth. Peraza has been seeing playing time in New York's infield of late with Josh Donaldson (hamstring) on the injured list, and the veteran recently suffered a setback, which will prolong Peraza's stay on the big-league roster. He has played in just three games in 2023 and has gone 2-for-7 with two RBI and two runs scored for the Bombers.
