Oswald Peraza gets latest chance to impress Yankees with Jazz Chisholm injured
NY Post
CHICAGO — As the Yankees navigate the ripple effects of Jazz Chisholm Jr. landing on the IL with an elbow sprain, a familiar face will return to the big league club.
Infielder Oswald Peraza was called up from Triple-A Scranton Wilkes-Barre, joining the team for its series finale against the White Sox on Wednesday in Chicago.
The 24-year-old former top prospect is excited to return to the big leagues after not playing during his first stint in The Bronx this year.
“It’s great to be back here with this ballclub,” Peraza said before the game. “I’ve been working very hard in Triple-A and waiting for the opportunity. Just want to help any way possible, any way I can contribute. Excited about it.”
Though Peraza’s cumulative 2024 numbers — hitting .244 with just eight homers and a 94 weighted runs created plus (where 100 is average) in 65 games — might not impress, he has produced much better of late.
Since the start of August, the third baseman has launched four homers and produced a 1.023 OPS.
