Could the Yankees promote shunned infielder to take over at third base?

The New York Yankees may finally have sufficient reason to promote the promising infielder Oswald Peraza, who has been underutilized at the Triple-A level this season, while veterans like Josh Donaldson have been struggling in the majors.

Donaldson’s Injury Could Open the Door for Peraza

Donaldson, the 37-year-old veteran, sustained a calf injury on Saturday night during a game against the Colorado Rockies. This prompted an MRI that may result in him landing on the injured list. Should this occur, Peraza appears to be the prime candidate for a chance at third base, given his strong performance with Scranton and the lackluster alternatives available to the Yankees.
