Drives in two in Game 2 Peraza went 1-for-2 with two RBI and a walk in the second game of Thursday's doubleheader against the Rockies.

Impact After homering in the matinee of Thursday's doubleheader for the game's only run, Peraza knocked in a run on a single and drew a bases loaded walk in the nightcap. The 27-year-old is slashing .224/.283/.388 with a pair of homers, nine RBI and five runs in 153 plate appearances.

Homers in win Peraza went 1-for-2 with a solo home run during the first game of Thursday's doubleheader win over the Rockies.

Impact Leading off the third inning, Peraza got the scoring started and gave the Mets the lead for good by taking German Marquez deep with a 367-shot to deep left center. It was the second long ball of the year for the 27-year-old, who is batting .213/.260/.383 overall.

Starting Monday Peraza (calf) will bat sixth and play second base Monday against the Rockies.

Impact Peraza had been out of the lineup since leaving Friday's game against the Marlins after getting hit in the calf by a pitch, though he appeared off the bench in each of the next two games. He'll be involved from the start of this one and will look to improve upon his .211/.268/.342 slash line.

Remains out Sunday Peraza (calf) is not in the lineup Sunday against the Marlins, Tim Healey of Newsday reports.

Impact Peraza will sit for the second straight game after suffering a bruised calf when hit by a pitch Friday. Jonathan Villar will shift to the keystone while Brandon Drury starts at third base Sunday.

Exits with bruised calf Peraza exited Friday's game against the Marlins with a right calf bruise suffered on a fourth inning hit-by-pitch, Deesha Thosar of the New York Daily News reports.

Impact Peraza was 0-for-1 before being pulled. He should be considered day-to-day for now. Wilfredo Tovar replaced him at second base.

MAY 22, 2021 • ROTOWIRE

Homers in loss Peraza went 1-for-3 with a three-run home run in Saturday's 12-5 loss to the Rays.

Impact The infielder got a middle-middle slider from Rays starter Shane McClanahan with two men on and didn't miss it, launching a homer to left-center field. Peraza has provided a nice spark since re-joining the Mets at the end of April, hitting .300 and aiding the team's offensive turnaround this month. He's unlikely to usurp Jeff McNeil as the starting second baseman, though he'll continue earning periodic starts against left-handed pitchers.

MAY 15, 2021 • Associated Press

Drives in two runs Peraza went 2-for-4 with two RBI and a strikeout during Wednesday's 7-1 win against the Orioles.

Impact The 27-year-old received the start at second base with Jeff McNeil (cramp) sitting out, and he delivered his first two RBI of the season. Peraza should return to a bench role relatively quickly with McNeil not expected to miss much time.

Alonso, Mets top Phillies 8-7 after replay reversal

Pete Alonso capped New York’s six-run eighth inning with a three-run double, and the Mets used a defensive meltdown by Philadelphia and a replay reversal to beat the Phillies 8-7

MAY 3, 2021 • Associated Press

Recalled by Mets Peraza was recalled by the Mets on Friday, Tim Healey of Newsday reports.

Impact Peraza was sent down by New York earlier in the day, but he'll return to the major-league roster after Luis Guillorme (oblique) was placed on the 10-day injured list. Peraza has yet to appear in a game this season and should continue to serve as a bench option.

APRIL 30, 2021 • ROTOWIRE

Heads back to minors Peraza was optioned by the Mets on Friday, Tim Healey of Newsday reports.

Impact Peraza may bounce on and off the fringe of the Mets' roster throughout the season, as his defensive versatility makes him a decent bench option but is mostly offset by his 62 wRC+ over the last two seasons. He's already spent two separate stints on the roster this season but is yet to get into a game. Reliever Daniel Zamora was recalled in a corresponding move.

APRIL 30, 2021 • ROTOWIRE

Back in majors Peraza was recalled from the Mets' alternate training site prior to Tuesday's game against the Red Sox.

Impact The Mets will temporarily go with an extra man on the bench, as they sent reliever Stephen Tarpley down in a corresponding move. Peraza will likely be used primarily as a pinch runner in the short term.

APRIL 27, 2021 • ROTOWIRE

Dropped from active roster Peraza was optioned to the Mets' alternate training site Saturday.

Impact Peraza gave the Mets an extra infield option with J.D. Davis sidelined with a bruised hand. He didn't get into any games and will now head back to the alternate site with Davis returning to the roster.

APRIL 17, 2021 • ROTOWIRE

Signs minors deal with Mets Peraza signed a minor-league deal with the Mets on Wednesday, Tim Britton of The Athletic reports.

Impact The 26-year-old spent the shortened 2020 campaign in Boston after inking a one-year, $2.85 million deal, and he posted a .225/.275/.342 slash line with one home run in 120 plate appearances. Peraza has been unable to secure his spot in the majors over the past few seasons, so he'll have to prove it on the minor-league deal with New York.

NOVEMBER 4, 2020 • ROTOWIRE

Elects free agency Peraza was outrighted by the Red Sox on Wednesday and elected free agency.

Impact Peraza was a likely non-tender candidate heading into the offseason, but he'll become a free agent after refusing his outright assignment. The 26-year-old began the 2020 season on the major-league roster but was sent to the alternate training site in September to give Christian Arroyo more playing time at second base. Peraza hit .225 with one home run and eight RBI over 111 at-bats in 2020.

OCTOBER 28, 2020 • ROTOWIRE

Sent to alternate site Peraza was optioned to the alternate training site following Wednesday's game.

Impact More interesting in fantasy than reality, Peraza doesn't project to be a part of Boston's long-term plans, so the team appears to be clearing space to get Christian Arroyo everyday playing time at second base down the stretch. He hit .225/.275/.342 with one home run and one stolen base in 111 at-bats before being demoted. Peraza will likely be non-tendered this offseason.

SEPTEMBER 10, 2020 • ROTOWIRE

Smacks first homer Peraza went 1-for-2 with a walk, a home run, two RBI, and a stolen base against the Blue Jays on Sunday.

Impact Peraza had a busy day at the plate, with his first RBI coming on a sacrifice fly in the sixth inning. Two frames later, he delivered a solo home run -- his first of the campaign. Peraza also chipped in his first stolen base of the year, though he has also been caught once. Overall, Peraza is hitting .231/.282/.352, but has managed 13 runs scored across 117 plate appearances.

SEPTEMBER 7, 2020 • ROTOWIRE

Takes seat Saturday Peraza isn't in the lineup Saturday against the Blue Jays.

Impact Peraza sat out Friday's nightcap, and he'll take a breather once again Saturday. Michael Chavis will shift to second base with Bobby Dalbec starting at first.

SEPTEMBER 5, 2020 • ROTOWIRE

Not starting Game 2 Peraza isn't starting Game 2 of Friday's doubleheader against the Blue Jays.

Impact Peraza won't start in back-to-back contests Friday against Toronto. Michael Chavis will start at second base for the nightcap.

SEPTEMBER 4, 2020 • ROTOWIRE

On bench Tuesday Peraza is not in the lineup Tuesday against Atlanta.

Impact Peraza sits for the fourth time in Boston's last eight games. He's hitting just .232/.283/.323 on the season, so it's not a surprise to see him out of the lineup on a regular basis. Jonathan Arauz will get the start at second base.
