MLB Trade Rumours | Anthony Franco: At long last, Oswald Peraza has finally been called up. With rosters expanding on September 1, Peraza’s call-up is certainly a huge splash for a team in desperate need of a vibe shift. The 22-year-old shortstop is the Yankees’ No. 3 ranked prospect (No. 53 in all of baseball per MLB Pipeline) and has been the target of speculation for a while now, as he tore up Triple-A for the last few months after a pretty rough start to the season.
It’s still unclear how much playing time Peraza will receive right away — Oswaldo Cabrera has played nearly everyday since being called up, but the team still might be committed to the incumbent, Isiah Kiner-Falefa, at short — but odds are a prospect of his stature wasn’t called up to sit on the bench every day.
