The Diamondbacks have placed outfielder David Peralta on the 10-day injured list, per a club announcement. He’s said to be dealing with inflammation in his right AC joint.
Coming onto the MLB roster to fill in is outfielder Tim Locastro. He’ll join Kevin Cron, whose previously reported promotion is now official. To create an additional roster spot, the club optioned righty Jimmie Sherfy.
The 31-year-old Peralta has followed up on his strong 2018 showing with an excellent .309/.357/.524 slash in 2017 plate appearances this year. He has also been dealing with some shoulder problems of late. Evidently, the issue progressed to the point that it was decided he needed to take at least a brief respite.
That’s a lot of plate appearances for a small sample of a season lol.
With those number of plate appearances, I see him in Cooperstown REAL quick.
Anyone’s shoulder would go bad after batting over 2,000 times in just under two months.
All right guys ha ha ha. Knock it off or go to a site like the Athletic where you have to pay
and then you get the right to complain…..
Both Kevin Cron and Tim Locastro are doing well in MiLB. I hope they stick. However, David Peralta is the heart of the D-Backs and his absence will be felt.
