SAN DIEGO – Left fielder David Peralta was out of the lineup for a second consecutive day on Saturday due to a stomach issue, but unlike on Friday, he was at Petco Park, hit in the cage pregame and seemed more likely to be available off the bench than the day before.
Peralta’s status was a topic of pregame confusion on Friday, and manager Torey Lovullo called it a situation he could have handled better, apologizing to reporters for his misleading comments.
With Peralta out of the lineup on Friday, Lovullo told reporters that Peralta was just receiving a normal day off.
