Joel Peralta threw a perfect inning to earn his first save of the year in the Rays' win over the Yankees on Tuesday. | ||||||
Kyle Farnsworth had pitched on three of the four previous days, making Tampa Bay's closer unavailable. Peralta filled in just fine against the Bronx Bombers, striking out one in a 1-2-3 inning. The outing lowered Peralta's ERA to 3.92 and WHIP to 1.10. | ||||||

One day after taking a line drive off his calf on Monday, Joel Peralta reported no significant problems. | ||||||
The fact that it remains sore "might push him back a day, maybe," Rays manager Joe Maddon said. He should be back to 100 percent by week's end. | ||||||

| Fri Dec 17 2010 | 15:03 | Rays finalize one-year deal with Peralta | ||||
Rays signed RHP Joel Peralta to a one-year, $925,000 contract. | ||||||
Peralta was curiously non-tendered by the Nationals this month despite posting a stellar 2.02 ERA and 49/9 K/BB ratio over 49 innings in 2010. He should be a valuable piece in middle relief for the Rays. | ||||||
| Thu Dec 16 2010 | 10:20 | Rays sign right-hander Joel Peralta | ||||
According to Buster Olney of ESPN.com, the Rays have signed right-hander Joel Peralta. | ||||||
The deal is not finalized, but he is expected to make $900,000. Peralta, who turns 35 in March, was non-tendered by the Nationals earlier this month after posting an impressive 2.02 ERA and 49/9 K/BB ratio over 49 innings. He's a flyball pitcher, which could be risky in the American League, but the Rays obviously believe he can be a contributor in their new-look bullpen. | ||||||
