Oswald Peraza Being Promoted By Yankees
The New York Yankees are promoting shortstop prospect Oswald Peraza from the minor leagues with rosters expanding on Thursday. Per MLB Pipeline, Peraza is the team's No. 3 prospect in their system. The 22-year-old from Venezuela has hit .258/.329/.440 with 18 home runs, 49 RBI, 56 runs scored and 33 stolen bases in 427 plate appearances over 98 games for Triple-A Scranton/Wilkes-Barre this season to earn the call-up down the stretch for his major league debut. With Isiah Kiner-Falefa struggling of late, there's a chance that Peraza could steal some playing time away from him at the 6 if he gets off to a hot start in the Bronx. Peraza's power/speed upside is certainly intriguing in fantasy leagues right away.
