Wandy

Peralta

The Padres and Peralta agreed to a four-year, $16.5 million deal in Jan. 2024, with the second, third and fourth years all being player options, and now Peralta has exercised all three of them. The kind of amazing thing about it is that he hasn’t been a liability in the process; if he’d opted for free agency in any year, he probably would have wound up signing for around the $4.25 million-$4.5 million his options were worth. The 35-year-old had a 3.61 ERA in a career-high 77 1/3 innings last season, though he was left off the Wild Card and NLDS rosters. He has a 3.51 ERA over his three years with the club. During that span, he’s recorded no saves and 19 holds, 11 of which came in 2024.

Peralta’s stint on San Diego’s playoff roster lasted roughly 24 hours while All-Star closer Mason Miller was away from the club on paternity leave.

Peralta takes over Mason Miller’s vacated roster spot while the elite closer is away from the club on paternity leave. The 35-year-old lefty compiled a respectable 3.61 ERA across 77 1/3 innings of work during the regular season.

Peralta will get the start, but this will be a bullpen game for the Padres. The 35-year-old will go an inning or two before giving way to another pen arm.

The 34-year-old southpaw rejoins the Padres’ bullpen for Sunday’s series finale against the Royals. Peralta has been a key cog in the club’s bullpen this season, compiling a 2.23 ERA, 1.28 WHIP and a 31/19 K/BB ratio across 48 1/3 innings of work. Ron Marinaccio was designated for assignment in a corresponding move.

Peralta’s father passed away just prior to the break. The reliever will be eligible to rejoin the Padres this weekend.

Canning will enter the contest after lefty opener Wandy Peralta tangles with the top of the Los Angeles order. The 30-year-old holds a lackluster 7.09 ERA across 47 innings this season in his San Diego debut.

It’ll be Wandy Peralta getting the nod as San Diego’s opener with Canning to follow in a bulk role. The 30-year-old limited the Cardinals to just one run over 4 1/3 innings behind an opener his last time out. The decision is a slight boost to his fantasy appeal as it gives him better odds of lasting into the middle innings and qualifying for a win.

Wandy Peralta draws the starting assignment as San Diego’s opener. It’ll be Giolito’s second consecutive bulk relief outing since mid-June. The 31-year-old has compiled a serviceable 4.56 ERA across 25 2/3 innings during his Padres debut. He’s tough to trust as a fantasy option since he’s struggled to work deep into outings and has posted a 16/21 K/BB ratio so far.

Peralta gets his first save with Mason Miller unavailable. The 34-year-old did put the tying run at the plate after allowing a hit and a walk, but he was able to escape without any damage. Peralta is a very solid reliever, but there are too many options ahead of him to expect many — if any — more save chances.
