Peralta

Peralta lands a spot in Los Angeles’ bullpen with Shaun Anderson hitting the injured list. The 28-year-old signed a minor league deal with the Angels back in late June. He allowed three runs over 2 2/3 innings for the Rockies earlier this year.

Peralta was DFA’d by the Rockies on Sunday, cleared waivers and opted for free agency. This will be his second go with the Angels; he finished last season with the club, giving up 12 runs — nine earned — in 10 2/3 innings before being claimed off waivers by the Brewers in October and later landing in Colorado. The 28-year-old has a 5.40 ERA in 48 1/3 career major league innings.

Peralta struggled to a 10.13 ERA, 1.88 WHIP and a 4/2 K/BB ratio over 2 2/3 innings during his brief time with the Rockies this season. He was removed from the club’s 40-man roster and passed through waivers without being claimed. It’s unknown yet whether Peralta will accept that assignment or look for a better opportunity elsewhere on the open market.

The procedural move opens a spot on Colorado’s roster for veteran reliever John Brebbia. Peralta posted an inflated 10.13 ERA, 1.88 WHIP and 4/2 K/BB ratio over 2 2/3 innings for the Rockies earlier this season. He figures to pass through waivers unclaimed and elect free agency.

The Rockies needed to clear a spot on their active roster for the arrival of Sean Sullivan on Friday and unfortunately Peralta drew the short straw this time around. The 28-year-old southpaw holds a 10.13 ERA, 1.88 WHIP and a 4/2 K/BB ratio over 2 2/3 innings with the Rockies this season.

Peralta will get another opportunity to work out of the Rockies’ bullpen with TJ Shook getting optioned to Triple-A Albuquerque on Sunday. The 28-year-old southpaw has allowed two runs on two hits and two walks over 2/3 of an inning in one appearance with the big league club this season.

Peralta made just one appearance during his time with the big league club, giving up two runs on two hits and a pair of walks in just 2/3 of an inning. Blas Castano was recalled from Triple-A Albuquerque to take his place in the Rockies’ bullpen.

The 28-year-old southpaw will add a fresh arm to the Rockies’ bullpen mix for at least a few days while the Rockies figure out how to cover Chase Dollander’s spot in the rotation. Peralta has posted a 3.79 ERA, 1.21 WHIP and a 14/5 K/BB ratio across 19 innings at the Triple-A level this season.

Peralta didn’t end up making an appearance for the Rockies after being called up last week to fortify their bullpen mix. The 27-year-old lefty has made 30 relief appearances in the big leagues dating back to 2023.

Peralta was claimed off of waivers from the Brewers in early April. He’ll get his first shot to work out of the Rockies’ bullpen with Ryan Feltner (elbow) heading to the injured list on Friday. It’s possible it’ll be a short-term move as the Rockies decide how to replace Feltner in their rotation as someone will ultimately need to be sent back out to make room for that replacement starter next week. He’ll function in a middle relief role for first-year manager Warren Schaeffer.
