Injury Notes: Peralta, Price, Iglesias, Jays, Astros

By Jeff Todd | April 20, 2017 at 6:41pm CDT

The Cardinals have placed Jhonny Peralta on the 10-day disabled list, retroactive to April 16, due to an upper respiratory infection and activated lefty Tyler Lyons from the disabled list, the club announced. Ben Frederickson of the St. Louis Post-Dispatch writes that Greg Garcia and Jedd Gyorko will combine for playing time at the hot corner in Peralta’s absence. However, as Frederickson’s colleague Derrick Goold wrote earlier today, that might’ve been in the cards anyhow; Peralta is off to a dreadful .120/.185/.120 start to the season. Manager Mike Matheny tells Goold that the team is even opening to sliding Matt Carpenter back across the diamond to play over at third base if needed. In particular, though, Matheny spoke highly of Garcia’s glovework at third base. “It’s been fun watching Greg over there,” said Matheny. “He’s making great plays. You can see the amount of ground that he’s covering and just the electricity that comes with that style of play. Jhonny has that capacity. We just have to get him in a better place.”

  • There’s another update on Red Sox lefty David Price, whose increasingly lengthy layoff has left the club without one of its best pitchers. Skipper John Farrell acknowledged that Price has dealt with some soreness that led to a bit of a slow-down in his effort to ramp things up, as Michael Silverman of the Boston Herald reports on Twitter. But Price was able to long toss “with some intensity” today, per the report, and will throw a pen session tomorrow. Still, there’s no timetable at this point for Price to return.
  • Anthony Fenech of the Detroit Free Press writes that the Tigers are expected to place shortstop Jose Iglesias on the 7-day disabled list due to a concussion sustained when he took a knee to the jaw in the final play of Wednesday’s night contest. Detroit is slated to recall prized relief prospect Joe Jimenez from Triple-A Toledo. Jimenez was sent down fewer than 10 days ago, but he can return sooner than the typical 10-day minimum due to the fact that he is replacing an injured player.
  • Blue Jays southpaw J.A. Happ picked up a ball for the first time since he went on the DL, as Shi Davidi of Sportsnet.ca tweets. It was just a light throwing session, and there’s no further update at this time, but it’s good news that Happ was deemed ready to resume throwing in short order. He has been dealing with elbow inflammation, but it doesn’t seem to be related to any more significant injury.
  • Meanwhile, the Blue Jays got a look at former top prospect Max Pentecost behind the dish on Tuesday for the first time since way back in 2014, as Ben Nicholson-Smith of Sportsnet.ca notes on Twitter. Shoulder issues have plagued the 24-year-old, who was taken 11th overall in the 2011 draft. But he’s still trying to gain traction in the Toronto system. Currently, Penecost is hitting .258/.303/.387 through 33 plate appearances at the High-A level.
  • Astros righty Jandel Gustave is headed to the 10-day DL with forearm tightness, per Jake Kaplan of the Houston Chronicle (via Twitter). The 24-year-old had struggled in the early going, issuing seven walks while recording just a pair of strikeouts over his five frames of action. Replacing him will be fellow righty James Hoyt, who narrowly missed out on a roster spot in Spring Training. The 29-year-old Hoyt has been absolutely brilliant in Triple-A since last year, tossing 60 innings with just 10 earned runs and 101 strikeouts against 21 walks.

    ” Jhonny has that capacity. We just have to get him in a better place.”

    Wouldn’t be surprised if that “better place” is San Diego or Oakland, for a middling-quality relief prospect.

      Since when do rebuilding teams give up prospects for aging/soon to be FA’s?

      Somebody needs to “drug test Matheny”……..I think he’s been smoking crack!

      Peralta couldn’t hold Garcia’s jockstrap when it comes to “electricity on the field”.

        True.
        Low OBP + Low OPS + Low Range + Low UZR = “Upper Respiratory Condition”.

        (These things happen when ‘roids wear off too, as in the third year of a three-year post-PEDs contract.)

      Cards needed to dump Peralta and Adams last offseason, for whatever they could get. So much for a more athletic roster.

        Good luck dumping Peralta. Even though he’s on the last year of his contract, he still makes a hefty salary. Peralta was very solid his first two years here and wasn’t awful when he came back last year. This year, even though its early, he looks out of gas.

    Pentecost was drafted in the 7th round in 2011 by the Rangers. He was redrafted in 2014 as the 11th overall pick.

    You are paying the PRICE Sox fans. Trader Dave was too impulsive and should NOT have pissed away so much $$$. On one hand I understand the excitement in pissing away so much of
    John Henry’s $$–he’s a proven reckless spender. On the other hand, think back to the chance to resign proven tried and true Jon Lester. For 50% more $$$ and years you have a fragile pitcher who has yet to prove that he is a money performer.

    Combined with the Red Sox secret approach to information, you boys are justified to be pissing in your pants.

    Your manager has zero control over the clubhouse, from Hanley’s lost glove to Price’s determination to stay in Florida so he can avoid the northeast in April. Or is it the Boston fans, whom he admitted he did not want to play before.

      You are a pretty misinformed Troll. I’ll take the Sox present and future over the Yanks any day. Even if Price never sees the field again. Hanleys lost glove? Dude looked fine at First all year long last year; plus Moreland is hitting well and is a Gold Glove 1B and there’s not a hot bench bat that needs to take reps away from Hanley at DH either. Boston has passionate fans, as does any organization. Price honestly creates his own tensions between himself and the fans. I’m sure all of those problems would disappear with a solid season under his belt. And yes we overpaid for him, and dropped the ball on Lester. It’s nearly impossible to not overpay for a SP in FA these days, and all pitchers come with risk. But, have you seen that Chris Sale guy this year? Can’t bash DD for that one yet.

        My money is on DD… He”ll make exciting splashes and build great teams on paper..He cant control injuries and poor managing/coaching(referring to Tigers). Enjoy..cause i know i did for nearly 14 seasons

          How are you Chief?

          DD goes out and gets what he thinks he needs. Everyone heates to see the kids traded but when its for the young talent that came in return, I can’t argue.

          He wants to win now. So do I. The only trade I wouldn’t have made was the Kimbrel trade. I thought he gave up too much for a closer.

      You come off as a jealous Troll and this is coming from a Yankee fan! The Red Sox are set nicely for now and the future..even with the Price injury. This org still has a decent farm and could fill any needs at the deadline easily. That is why they call them prospects and if you are ready to compete then use them in trades. Despite NY good start..which is smoke and mirrors..the Sox are ready to compete this year and the near future for a ship! I’d love to have their young players at the MLB level in a heartbeat over ours.

    Did anyone else think this was going to be a Reds update, too? Wandy Peralta, Bryan Price, and Raisel Iglesias?

      The picture of Jhonny Peralta should have been a clue.
