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.
