Top David Peralta News

  • Cubs' David Peralta: Will stay in extended spring

    Peralta (elbow) will stay back at extended spring training at the beginning of the season to continue his throwing progression, Patrick Mooney of The Athletic reports.

    Peralta underwent flexor tendon surgery in October before inking a minor-league contract with the Cubs in February. While Peralta is able to hit, he still isn't able to play the outfield. Peralta could eventually become an option for the Cubs bench, but he'll have to get healthy first.

  • Cubs' David Peralta: Making spring debut Tuesday

    Peralta (elbow) is batting eighth as the designated hitter in Tuesday's Cactus League game against the Brewers.

    The veteran outfielder joined the Cubs as a non-roster invitee in February but had been held out of game action to this point as he completed his rehab from October flexor tendon surgery. Peralta struggled a .675 OPS in 133 games with the Dodgers last season and is attempting to making Chicago's roster as a reserve outfielder.

  • Cubs' David Peralta: Set for spring debut Tuesday

    Peralta (elbow) is on track to make his Cactus League debut Tuesday versus the Brewers, Maddie Lee of the Chicago Sun-Times reports.

    Signed as a non-roster invitee last month, Peralta has been eased into spring training following October flexor tendon surgery. He progressed to live batting practice Saturday, however, and is just a few days away from game action. Assuming good health, Peralta would seem to have a good shot to capture a reserve role.

  • Cubs' David Peralta: Inks MiLB deal with Cubs

    Peralta (elbow) signed a minor-league contract with Chicago on Monday, Robert Murray of FanSided.com reports.

    Peralta underwent flexor tendon surgery on his left arm at the end of October, and while the status of his recovery is currently unknown, he'll bring a veteran presence to his new club for the start of spring camp. If he's a full go, look for the 36-year-old to compete for a spot on the Opening Day roster as a lefty bench bat.

  • Dodgers' David Peralta: Undergoes flexor tendon surgery

    Peralta underwent flexor tendon surgery on his left arm Tuesday, Jack Harris of the Los Angeles Times reports.

    Peralta broke news of the surgery when he posted pictures of himself post-op, and now we know what kind of procedure he had done. The outfielder is expected to be ready to hit and throw again by March, but his readiness for Opening Day would seem to be very much in question. Harris notes that Peralta played through the injury since around the All-Star break, which could help explain a .578 OPS and zero home runs in the second half. Peralta, 36, will be a free agent this offseason.
