Padres' David Peralta: Knocks second homer
Rotowire
Peralta went 2-for-3 with a solo home run, a walk and an additional run scored in Saturday's 7-0 win over the Guardians.

Peralta has added a .255/.320/.362 slash line, 10 RBI, 11 runs scored, four doubles and no stolen bases over 103 plate appearances.

Padres' David Peralta: Regains playing time
Rotowire
Peralta will start in right field and bat seventh in Sunday's game against the Diamondbacks.
Peralta will remain in the starting nine for the fifth consecutive matchup with a right-handed starting pitcher (Ryne Nelson) and has seemingly settled back into a strong-side platoon role in the San Diego lineup. He recorded at least one hit in each of his previous four starts, going 5-for-12 overall with one home run and three RBI.

Padres' David Peralta: Hits first homer of campaign
Rotowire
Peralta went 1-for-4 with a two-run home run in Wednesday's 6-4 win over the Rangers.
Peralta has slipped into a bench role after batting just .209 over 23 games in June. This was his first start since June 23, and he made the most of it by providing the Padres' winning hit, a two-run homer in the seventh inning, which was Peralta's first long ball this year. He's slashing a meager .210/.300/.290 with six RBI, seven runs scored and no stolen bases over 70 plate appearances. Bryce Johnson, who is hitting .182 on the year, has handled right field lately, but Peralta may claw back some playing time if he can build on Wednesday's performance.

Padres' David Peralta: Sitting again Saturday
Rotowire
Peralta isn't in the Padres' lineup for Saturday's game against the Red Sox.
Saturday marks the fifth consecutive absence for Peralta, and the second time he's sat against a right-handed starter (Tanner Houck) in that span. Bryce Johnson will start in right field for the fifth game in a row while batting ninth. He appears to have overtaken Peralta for a spot in the Padres' everyday lineup against right-handed pitching.

Padres' David Peralta: Sitting versus righty
Rotowire
Peralta is out of the lineup for Friday's game against the Red Sox.
It's the fourth straight game on the bench for Peralta, though Friday's contest is the first of those to come against a right-handed starter (Nick Pivetta). Donovan Solano has been operating as San Diego's primary designated hitter, and it appears Peralta has been relegated to a bench role while stuck in a 3-for-23 (.130) slump. Bryce Johnson will make his fourth straight start in right field Friday.

Padres' David Peralta: Out of lineup against lefty again
Rotowire
Peralta is out of the lineup for Wednesday's game against the Nationals.
The lefty-hitting Peralta will take a seat for the third game in a row, with the Padres having faced left-handed starting pitchers in each of those contests. The Padres should still have a regular spot in the lineup for Peralta against right-handed pitching, and Fernando Tatis' (quadricep) recent move to the injured list likely gives Peralta a longer leash. Peralta has gotten off to a slow start since joining the Padres' active roster May 22, slashing .200/.302/.236 with no home runs over 63 plate appearances.

Peralta is out of the lineup for Monday's game against the Phillies.
The lefty-hitting Peralta will hit the bench for the series opener while the Phillies bring southpaw Cristopher Sanchez to the hill. Now that Manny Machado is back to playing third base again after he had previously made four consecutive starts at designated hitter following his return from a four-game absence due to a strained hip flexor, Peralta should have a regular spot in the lineup at DH when the Padres face right-handed pitchers.

Padres' David Peralta: On bench again Wednesday
Rotowire
Peralta is out of the lineup for Wednesday's game against the Athletics.
Manny Machado remains limited to designated hitter duties after missing out on four straight starts last week due to a hip flexor strain, so the Padres won't have room in the lineup for Peralta for the third contest in a row. Once Machado is cleared to play regularly at third base again, Peralta will likely form a platoon at designated hitter with Donovan Solano.

Padres' David Peralta: Sitting Monday
Rotowire
Peralta is not in the starting lineup for Monday's series opener against the Athletics.
With Manny Machado (hip) returning from a four-game absence Monday and serving as the designated hitter, the Padres have opted to start Donovan Solano at third base, which will bump Peralta to the dugout. Peralta went 5-for-12 with two doubles and two RBI in the four-game series against the Diamondbacks. Since his promotion to the majors May 22, Peralta is slashing .250/.351/.313 with three RBI over 37 plate appearances.

Padres' David Peralta: Gets aboard four times in win
Rotowire
Peralta went 3-for-3 with two doubles, one walk, two RBI and two runs scored in Saturday's 13-1 win over the Diamondbacks.
Peralta has a pair of three-hit games since he joined the Padres on May 22, but he's gone just 1-for-22 over his other 11 contests. His two doubles Saturday were his first extra-base hits of the campaign. Peralta is slashing .241/.333/.310 with no home runs, three RBI, four runs scored and no stolen bases. While he's seeing steady time as a strong-side platoon player, he hasn't displayed enough consistency at the plate to warrant widespread fantasy consideration.

Peralta is out of the lineup for Wednesday's game against the Marlins.
The lefty-hitting Peralta will stay on the bench for the third game in a row, with the Padres facing southpaws in each of those contests. Since joining the Padres last Wednesday after being called up from Triple-A El Paso, Peralta appears to have settled into a platoon with the right-handed-hitting Donovan Solano, who is in the lineup for a third straight game.
