Luis

Peralta

Peralta will finish the year in Colorado’s bullpen after a minimum stay on the shelf with left hip inflammation.

The Rockies were taking things day-to-day with the 24-year-old southpaw but it got to the point where they couldn’t afford to play short-handed any longer. Ryan Rolison was recalled from Triple-A Albuquerque to take his place in the Rockies’ bullpen.

Peralta gets another shot with the Rockies with fellow southpaw Ryan Rolison earning a demotion after a couple tough outings. The 24-year-old lefty has been crushed to the tune of a bloated 7.56 ERA across 8 1/3 innings (nine appearances) this season at the highest level. He’ll operate in middle relief for Colorado.

The Rockies are keeping Jaden Hill, who was called up as the 27th man for Sunday’s doubleheader. Peralta allowed three runs over two-thirds of an inning in the first game yesterday to up his ERA to 7.56. He had a 5/8 K/BB in 8 1/3 innings out of the pen.

The younger brother of Freddy Peralta, Luis was acquired by the Rockies at the trade deadline in a trade for Jalen Beeks. Peralta has a 0.94 ERA, 0.96 WHIP and 75 strikeouts in 47 2/3 innings between three different minor league levels this year. While those numbers are eye-popping, Peralta started just one game in his six minor league appearances with the Rockies so we assume he’ll be used out of the bullpen in Colorado.

Peralta, younger brother of Freddy, had a 0.91 ERA and a 64/18 K/BB ratio in 39 2/3 innings, most of them coming in high-A ball. This is his first year as a full-time reliever, so moving him back into the rotation still could be in the cards. The safer play, though, would be to leave him where he’s thriving.
