Oswald Dair Peraza (born June 15, 2000) is a Venezuelan professional baseball third baseman and shortstop for the New York YankeesofMajor League Baseball (MLB). Peraza signed with the Yankees as an international free agent in 2016. He made his MLB debut in 2022.

Career[edit]

Peraza signed with the New York Yankees as an international free agent in July 2016.[1] He made his professional debut in 2017 with the Dominican Summer League Yankees. He was later promoted to the Gulf Coast Yankees that season.

Peraza played the 2018 season with the Pulaski Yankees and 2019 with the Staten Island Yankees and Charleston RiverDogs.[2][3] He did not play a minor league game in 2020 due to season being cancelled because of the COVID-19 pandemic.[4]

The Yankees added Peraza to their 40-man roster after the 2020 season to protect him from being exposed in the Rule 5 draft.[5] He played the 2021 season with the Hudson Valley Renegades, Somerset Patriots, and Scranton/Wilkes-Barre RailRiders.[6][7] Peraza returned to Scranton/Wilkes-Barre for the 2022 season, batting .259/.329/.448 in 386 at bats.[8][9]

The Yankees promoted Peraza to the major leagues for the first time on September 1, 2022. On October 4, Peraza hit his first career home run, a solo shot off of Texas Rangers starter Jon Gray.[10] In 49 at bats he hit .306/.404/.429, while playing 12 games at shortstop and four games at second base.[11][9]

Peraza was optioned to Triple-A Scranton/Wilkes-Barre to begin the 2023 season.[12] The Yankees promoted Peraza to the major leagues on April 16 when Giancarlo Stanton went on the injured list.[13] He began to start as a third baseman due to Josh Donaldson's injury, even though he had not played the position before.[14] In 52 games for the Yankees, Peraza hit .191/.267/.272 with 2 home runs, 14 RBI, and 4 stolen bases.

On March 9, 2024, it was announced that Peraza would miss 6–8 weeks with a subscapularis strain in his right shoulder.[15]
