Oswald Peraza, who had been shut down from game action for the last eight weeks, is about to finally get back on the field.
The Yankees’ Single-A affiliate, the Tampa Tarpons, announced that Peraza is scheduled to begin a rehab a assignment on Tuesday when the team plays a doubleheader against Clearwater.
The 23-year-old reported feeling some discomfort in his right shoulder in spring training, and was eventually shut down due to a subscapular strain. At the time the injury was announced on March 9, Aaron Boone told reporters that Peraza would be shut down for six-to-eight weeks. This past Saturday marked eight weeks.
Peraza, who resumed throwing in early April, has appeared in 70 games for the Yankees over the past two seasons, slashing .216/.298/.306 with three home runs, 11 doubles, 16 RBI and 23 runs scored.
