PHOENIX -- D-backs outfielder David Peralta was a late scratch from Tuesday's starting lineup against the Braves, though he was available to pinch-hit.
Peralta has been dealing with an injury to the middle and index fingers on his left hand which he suffered when he was hit in the hand on a bunt attempt Sunday in Milwaukee. He was out of the lineup for Monday's series opener.
D-backs manager Chip Hale said Peralta was available as a pinch-hit option off the bench Monday, but he was not needed.
The issue for Peralta has been with throwing the ball, as the injury is to the fingers on his throwing hand.
