INF/OF Jose Peraza is struggling to find playing time, something that a trip to the minors might cure. Peraza was considered by some to be the Reds' second baseman of the future, but with Brandon Phillips invoking his no-trade rightsm there's no room at the inn for the talented youngster. Peraza started in center field on Sunday. "If he's playing one or twice a week, that's not enough," said manager Bryan Price. "I can rotate him around. I don't want a platoon scenario." Peraza made the most of his start Sunday, going 2-for-4 with a stolen base and run scored.

INF Jose Peraza started at shortstop on Wednesday. He is the 29th player to appear at shortstop and play alongside 2B Brandon Phillips. It was the first chance for Peraza to start for his former team, where he was once considered Atlanta's best minor league prospect. Peraza was traded to the Dodgers last summer in the deal that brought Cuban rookie Hector Olivera to the Braves.

INF/OF Jose Peraza, who was 3-for-12 in four games during early May, was recalled from Triple-A Louisville. He was hitting .274 in 55 games for the Bats. Peraza, a former top prospect of the Braves, was acquired the Dodgers in the three-team trade also involving the White Sox during the offseason.

INF Jose Peraza was optioned to Triple-A Louisville on Wednesday after going 3-for-12 in his brief stint in the major leagues. "He stayed through the middle and made hard contact," said manager Bryan Price. "He brought athleticism, speed and energy. He was a glimpse of the future. When he gets here, it has to be under the circumstances where he's playing regularly, whether that's the opportunity to float or play regularly at one position."

INF Jose Peraza and RHP Layne Somsen were optioned to Triple-A Louisville and RHP Jumbo Diaz was recalled Wednesday. Cincinnati also selected the contract of RHP Keyvius Sampson and transferred RHP Homer Bailey to the 60-day disabled list.

OF/SS Jose Peraza logged his first hit for the Reds in his initial at-bat. Peraza, who was called up from Triple-A Louisville on Friday after Billy Hamilton was placed on the bereavement list, started in center field and singled in the first inning.

INF Jose Peraza, the heir apparent at second base to Brandon Phillips, could get a long look this season. Some believe the club might decide to hand the bulk of the playing time to Peraza to see what the young man can do. Peraza was acquired from the Dodgers in December in a three-team deal that included the White Sox, who got 3B Todd Frazier from Cincinnati.

In his major league debut, he played in seven games for Los Angeles, with one RBI.

Peraza (hamstring) was all-but ruled out of the first round of the playoffs by manager Don Mattingly Sunday, the Dodgers' official site reports.

The team hopes to have Peraza healthy for a potential NLCS, but even then, there may not be room for him on the roster. He's probably looking at a 2016 return date at this point.

Peraza (hamstring) is slated to head to extended spring training on Thursday, the Dodgers' official site reports.

At this point it seems unlikely Peraza will be back prior to the playoffs. He'll head to spring training looking to win a job at second base or shortstop depending on how things shake out this winter.

Peraza (hamstring) will be evaluated in two weeks, J.P. Hoornstra of the Los Angeles News Group reports.

Manager Don Mattingly said Monday that he feared Peraza's season could be over, and it sounds like that may very well be the case. There's no telling whether Peraza will be cleared to play after his follow-up exam, and by then, there will be less than a week remaining in the regular season. The 21-year-old aggravated his hamstring injury during Sunday's game.

Peraza (hamstring) is scheduled for an MRI but manager Don Mattingly said Monday that he fears Peraza could be done for the year, Ken Gurnick of MLB.com reports.

A lot will hinge on Peraza's MRI results, but obviously there's serious cause for concern when taking Mattingly's premonitions into account. With Chase Utley still the starter, Justin Turner could move into the role of primary backup for the duration of Peraza's time off the field.

Peraza (hamstring) is out of the lineup Monday against the Rockies.

Peraza aggravated his hamstring injury during Sunday's game, and forced out as a result. He will miss Monday's game as well, and it's possible he'll receive at least a few days off because of it.

Peraza re-aggravated his previous hamstring injury during Sunday's game against Arizona, J.P. Hoornstra of the Los Angeles Daily News reports.

Given that Peraza has been dealing with this hamstring injury for the past two weeks, the Dodgers may ultimately elect to give him a few days off to fully recuperate for the remainder of the season. In the meantime, Chase Utley will likely have sole possession of second base.

Peraza was removed from Sunday's game with an apparent injury, Ken Gurnick of MLB.com reports.

It's likely the hamstring flaring up again. More should be known on his status shortly.

Los Angeles Dodgers infielder Jose Peraza aggravated a hamstring injury Sunday against the Arizona Diamondbacks, according to the Los Angeles Daily News.

Peraza (hamstring) is expected to be 100 percent for Friday's game in Arizona, David Vassegh of 570 AM Los Angeles reports.

The 21-year-old was deemed available earlier in the week after missing several days with a hamstring issue, but he still has yet to appear in a game since suffering the injury. He's expected to be fully available this weekend, though his opportunities may be limited, especially with Jimmy Rollins (hand) expected to return to action.
