From being, the St. Louis Cardinals everyday shortstop last year to a torn thumb ligament in spring training, Jhonny Peralta will join the Class A Peoria Chiefs Friday night to get some much needed work in.
Derrick Goold also reported that Peralta will start at shortstop while also getting some time in at third base. The Peoria Chiefs have a release on their website saying Peralta will be in Peoria through next Wednesday.
In 2015, Peralta hit 17 home runs and 71 RBI on his way to a .275/.334/.411 slash line. He was also selected as a National League All-Star.
