Angels' Oswald Peraza: Checking into lineup Sunday
Rotowire
Peraza (hand) will start at second base and bat seventh in Sunday's game against the Royals.
Peraza made his most recent start in Wednesday's 5-2 win over the Rangers, exiting that game early due to a left hand contusion. The injury never appeared to be much of a concern, as he was used off the bench as a pinch runner in Friday's 7-6 loss and will now return to the lineup for the series finale. Peraza is expected to handle a part-time role for the Angels moving forward while he's produced a lackluster .229/.276/.353 slash line across 313 plate appearances on the season.

Peraza took a 95-mph fastball off his hand during the sixth inning and was replaced on defense at the start of the seventh.

Peraza will start at second base and bat sixth Wednesday against the Rangers.
Peraza will cover the keystone for the third game in a row, with two of his starts having come versus left-handers and one coming versus a righty. With the Angels designating Donovan Walton for assignment Wednesday, Peraza could end up getting a look as an everyday second baseman, though Vaughn Grissom still looms as potential threat for playing time at the position.

Angels' Oswald Peraza: On bench against righty again
Rotowire
Peraza is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Athletics.
Peraza is on the bench for a second straight game while the Angels go up against another right-handed starter (Jack Perkins). Though the right-handed-hitting Peraza should remain a mainstay in the lineup versus lefties, playing time against same-handed pitching could prove to be more elusive after the Angels recently returned Vaughn Grissom from the injured list and called up Christian Moore from Triple-A Salt Lake.

Peraza went 2-for-5 with a solo home run and a stolen base Saturday in a 14-3 win against Tampa Bay.
Peraza got in on a big offensive day by the Angels by clubbing a solo shot in the ninth inning. The 25-year-old has reached base safely in nine of his past 10 contests and is slashing .333/.400/.528 with two homers, four RBI, four runs and one stolen base over that stretch. Peraza isn't setting the world on fire, but he's earned a near-everyday role and is in the midst of a career-best campaign, posting a .277/.341/.465 slash line with seven long balls, 15 RBI, 17 runs and six stolen bases through 53 games.

Angels' Oswald Peraza: Picking up playing time
Rotowire
Peraza will start at third base and bat sixth in Sunday's game against the Rangers, Jeff Fletcher of The Orange County Register reports.
Peraza will be included in the starting nine for the fifth time in the last six games, this time occupying third base after his previous four starts had come at second base. The Angels should have steady playing time available for Peraza in the short term after Yoan Moncada (knee) was placed on the 10-day injured list Friday. Peraza has been reasonably productive when given the chance to play; he's maintaining a .278/.347/.474 slash line to go with six home runs and five stolen bases over 148 plate appearances on the season.

Angels' Oswald Peraza: Back to bench in Soler's return
Rotowire
Peraza is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Padres.
Peraza went 7-for-18 (.389 average) with two home runs, one double, three walks, two stolen bases, four RBI and four runs while starting in each of the last five games at either second base or third base, but the Angels won't have room for him in the lineup Sunday while the team welcomes Jorge Soler (suspension) back from a four-game absence. Though he looks set to move back into more of a part-time role with the Angels back to full strength, Peraza has multiple paths to playing time.
Peraza went 3-for-3 with a solo home run and a walk in Tuesday's 7-1 win over the Yankees.
After Mike Trout, Jo Adell and Jorge Soler all took Ryan Weathers deep for solo homers in the top of the first inning, Peraza added =a solo shot of his own in the third, sending a changeup over the wall in left field. Peraza has started 13 of the Angels' 18 games to begin the season, seeing action at both second and third base. He's slashing .267/.327/.511 with three home runs, five RBI, four runs scored, one stolen base and a 4:12 BB:K across 50 plate appearances.

Angels' Oswald Peraza: Retreating to bench Monday
Rotowire
Peraza is out of the lineup for Monday's game against the Yankees, Jeff Fletcher of The Orange County Register reports.
Peraza manned the keystone for 11 of the Angels' first 13 games, but he's been out of the picture since Vaughn Grissom came off the injured list Saturday. Grissom made a pair of starts against left-handed pitchers over the weekend, while Adam Frazier is at second base Monday against right-hander Will Warren. Peraza occupied third base in Sunday's 9-6 win over the Reds and came through with solo home run, but he's slashing an unremarkable .214/.267/.405 over 46 plate appearances on the season.
