2024 Fantasy Outlook
Peralta had a fine, if uneventful, first half during his initial season as a Dodger, posting a .757 OPS with seven homers and 32 RBI across 229 plate appearances. However, his offensive production cratered after the All-Star break, as he registered a paltry .578 OPS without a single homer over his final 59 games. The dropoff can be at least partially attributed to a left elbow injury that required flexor tendon surgery following the campaign -- though Peralta's 44.2 percent hard-hit rate last season was considerably above league-average, the injury likely explains why his barrel rate and max exit velocity dipped below his career norms. The surgery also complicates Peralta's outlook for next season, as it's not certain that he'll be ready to play when Opening Day 2024 rolls around. Even if he does recover in time for the start of the campaign, the 36-year-old may be best suited for a reserve role at this point in his career. Read Past Outlooks
Debuts at Triple-A
Peralta (elbow) was activated from Triple-A Iowa's 7-day injured list Wednesday and has gone 1-for-9 with three walks and an RBI in his first three games with the club.
ANALYSIS
Peralta attended Cubs spring training as a non-roster invitee but didn't appear in any Cactus League games while he continued his recovery from the flexor tendon surgery he underwent last October on his left elbow. The 36-year-old looks to be healthy again and will look to improve upon his production at Iowa over the next few weeks with the hope of earning a promotion to the big-league roster.

Latest Fantasy Rumors
CF limited to spring
Peralta is expected to play some center field during spring training and the World Baseball Classic, but the Dodgers don't plan to use him there during the regular season, per Matthew Moreno of DodgerBlue.com.
ANALYSIS
The veteran outfielder has never exactly been known for his defense, so it's not a major surprise he won't be playing center field in his age-35 campaign despite likely doing so for Team Venezuela in the WBC. Peralta hasn't even played right field since 2018, so he's unlikely to see much time there either, especially if Mookie Betts can remain healthy.

For several seasons, Peralta was unfairly pigeonholed as a platoon batter, even though the lefty swinger handled southpaw pitching sufficiently to be a regular. However, last season, his numbers facing same side pitching plummeted, as he slashed just .154/.247/.215 without the platoon edge. That said, a .267/.329/.449 line facing righthanders is enough to find a job as a reserve outfielder, or perhaps reverting to his usual role of facing most righties. Peralta's primary issue was a career-high 23.3% strikeout rate. There was a time Peralta was the ideal outfielder to draft late as a safe play, perhaps hedging a high-upside hitter. Even with the weakened state of the current outfield inventory, it's hard to envision Peralta being fantasy-relevant in a mixed league with 15 or fewer teams.
