The Yankees are promoting shortstop Oswald Peraza to the major league club as a member of their September call-ups, according to Joel Sherman of the New York Post.
Major League rules stipulate that rosters can expand by two players on Sept. 1, and Peraza is slated to occupy one of those two additional spots on the roster.
Peraza is the No. 2 prospect in the organization according to Baseball America, and is considered to be a significant part of the team’s future in the middle of the infield.
Peraza ranks just behind Double A Somerset shortstop Anthony Volpe, who is also a prominent infield piece for New York.
