Yankees 2025 Season Preview: Oswald Peraza
Briefly

Yankees' infielder Oswald Peraza has faced challenges in maintaining a steady role after a strong debut season. Although he showed potential in 2021, he struggled significantly in the following seasons. In 2023, Peraza's performance dipped, leading to fewer games played with the team, primarily due to a shoulder injury. As DJ LeMahieu’s path to the starting third base position is complicated by his own injuries, the competition between Peraza and utility player Oswaldo Cabrera becomes crucial for determining infield depth going forward.
Yankees fans have awaited Oswald Peraza's rise for years, but recent struggles highlight the challenges he faces in cementing a reliable role with the team.
Despite a promising start, Peraza's performance in 2023 and setbacks due to injury have complicated his journey towards consistent major league playing time.
2019 saw Peraza's remarkable progress, culminating in a solid MLB debut, but the challenge remains for him to regain footing amidst stiff competition.
With DJ LeMahieu injured, Peraza’s chance to secure a starting role resurfaces, though competition from Oswaldo Cabrera looms large for the spot.
