Diamondbacks Place David Peralta On DL, Select Contract Of Michael Bourn

By Connor Byrne | May 15, 2016 at 12:20pm CDT

The Diamondbacks have placed outfielder David Peralta on the 15-day disabled list with right wrist inflammation and selected the contract of Michael Bourn from Double-A Mobile, the team announced.

Bourn, whom the Blue Jays released Monday, quickly latched on with the Diamondbacks on a minor league deal and racked up 23 plate appearances in Mobile prior to today’s promotion. The Braves previously released Bourn last month after they couldn’t find a trade partner for the two-time All-Star.

Bourn owns a career .266/.331/.356 batting line in 4,910 major league plate appearances. In his prime, he was a respectable hitter who served as both a significant asset on the bases (326 career steals) and in the outfield. The 33-year-old hasn’t been particularly productive over the last three seasons, however, since inking a $48MM contract with the Indians in February 2013.

Before landing on the DL, Peralta hit a respectable .260/.321/.439 with three homers in 134 PAs. He had established himself as a greater offensive threat during the previous two campaigns, combining to hit .301/.351/.492 in 865 trips to the plate.

    O’probably missed the O’boat here. They’ve got a pretty good O’prospect that has been knocking the O’cover off the ball.

      They need someone that can play CF though, and O’Brien is a terrible fielder, even when in the corner. There is no way he could play CF.

    Losing Peralta for Bourne is like trading in a Mercedes for a Mitsubishi.

          I think it’s closer to trading a Mercedes for a Huffy.
