Wandy Peralta - MLB News, Rumors, & Updates

Opts in for 2027 Peralta exercised his $4.45 million player option for 2027 on Saturday, Jon Heyman of the New York Post reports.

Impact It's the third straight offseason that Peralta has opted in for another year with San Diego. The lefty reliever tossed a career-high 77.1 innings over 65 appearances in the 2026 regular season, posting a 3.61 ERA, 1.32 WHIP and 50:23 K:BB while notching three wins and five holds. Peralta should again be a key part of the Padres' bullpen in 2027, though that doesn't necessarily mean he'll log frequent high-leverage work.

Reinstated from bereavement list San Diego reinstated Peralta (personal) from the bereavement list Sunday.

Impact After missing just two games after the midseason break, Peralta is back with the big-league club. San Diego gets a much-needed arm back in Peralta in an injury-depleted bullpen that is already missing Jason Adam (shoulder), Jeremiah Estrada (knee), David Morgan (knee) and Bryan Hoeing (elbow). Through 41 games, the southpaw has posted a 2.23 ERA, 1.28 WHIP and 31:19 K:BB in 48.1 innings this season. San Diego optioned Jhony Brito to Triple-A El Paso to make room for Peralta on the active roster.

Impact Peralta will miss the start of the second half of the regular season while attending to a personal matter, with right-hander Jhony Brito being called up from Triple-A El Paso in a corresponding move. Prior to the All-Star break, Peralta posted a 2.23 ERA, 1.28 WHIP three holds and a 31:19 K:BB across 48.1 innings.

Tabbed as Saturday's opener Peralta will start in Saturday's game against the Dodgers.

Impact It will be the fourth time this season that Peralta serves as the Padres' opener, and he will likely toss one or two innings before handing the keys to Griffin Canning. Peralta gave up four runs on six hits while striking out two in one inning against the Dodgers on Thursday, but in his 37 appearances prior to that, he had a 1.62 ERA, 1.22 WHIP, three holds and a 28:18 K:BB across 44.1 innings.

Serving as opener Monday Peralta will serve as the Padres' opening pitcher in Monday's game versus the Cardinals.

Impact It's Lucas Giolito's turn in the rotation, but the Padres have opted to go with an opener first. Peralta has managed to go unscored upon in 14 of his last 15 appearances, but he has an ugly 12:13 K:BB over 19.2 innings during that stretch.

JUNE 15 • ROTOWIRE

Notches win in relief Wednesday Peralta (1-0) earned the win over Cincinnati on Wednesday, allowing one hit and issuing one walk in one scoreless inning.

Impact Peralta entered in the ninth frame with the score tied 4-4. He allowed two batters to reach base, but a double play helped him get out of the inning unscathed. Peralta was then awarded the win after Fernando Tatis hit a walk-off homer in the bottom of the frame. Peralta hadn't been involved in a decision prior to Wednesday, though he's picked up two holds to go along with a 2.30 ERA, 1.40 WHIP and 20:15 K:BB over 31.1 innings across 27 appearances.

Yields homer in relief Wednesday Peralta tossed 1.2 relief innings against Colorado on Wednesday, allowing one run on one hit while striking out one batter.

Impact The run Peralta allowed came on a Hunter Goodman homer. It was just the third run surrendered by Peralta this season over 11.2 frames, with two of the tallies coming via solo home runs. The southpaw's fantasy relevance is minimal since he has only one hold and zero saves so far, but he's been effective with a 2.31 ERA, 1.37 WHIP and 11:3 K:BB across 11 outings.
