The Boston Red Sox released infielder Jhonny Peralta from his minor league contract on Thursday.Peralta signed with the Red Sox three weeks ago after he was released by the St. Louis Cardinals.Peralta did not do much during his brief time at Triple-A Pawtucket, hitting just .200 with two homers in 10 games.He was hitting .204 with no homers in 21 games with the Cardinals this season before being released.This may be the end of the line for the 35-year-old Peralta, who named to the All-Star Game for the third time in 2015, when he hit .275 with 17 homers.The Cardinals are responsible for the remainder of his $10 million salary this season.

3B Jhonny Peralta, signed to a minor league contract, reported to Triple-A Pawtucket and will make his debut Tuesday night. He will alternate 3B and DH with the rehabbing Pablo Sandoval.

3B Jhonny Peralta, released by the St. Louis Cardinals, signed with the Red Sox and will report to Triple-A Pawtucket. He could become an answer to the team's ongoing problem at the position.

Jhonny Peralta's time in St. Louis has come to a disappointing end.Peralta, a three-time All-Star and 15-year veteran who signed a four-year, $52 million contract with the Cardinals in November 2013, was granted his unconditional release by the team on Tuesday.St. Louis designated Peralta for assignment on Friday after his disappointing start to the 2017 season. Peralta hit .204 (11-for-54) with zero home runs, zero RBIs and 13 strikeouts in 21 games.Peralta finished 14th in National League MVP voting during his first season with the Cardinals in 2014, batting .263 with 21 homers and 75 RBIs in a career-high 157 games.He hit .265 with 46 home runs and 175 RBIs in 415 games with St. Louis.The longtime shortstop spent his first seven-plus seasons with the Cleveland Indians from 2003 to 2010 before being traded to the Detroit Tigers prior to the trade deadline.He spent the next three-plus seasons in Detroit from 2010 through 2013 before signing with the Cardinals in free agency.Peralta is a lifetime .267 hitter with 202 homers and 873 RBIs in 1,798 career games.Additionally, the Cardinals recalled right-handed pitcher Sam Tuivailala from Triple-A Memphis and named left-handed pitcher Marco Gonzales as the 26th man for Tuesday's day-night doubleheader against the Milwaukee Brewers.St. Louis (29-32) also optioned rookie infielder Paul DeJong to Memphis after Sunday's 6-5 win against the Philadelphia Phillies.

INF Jhonny Peralta was designated for assignment on Friday. Peralta has been relegated to backup duty with shortstop Aledmys Diaz and third baseman Jedd Gyorko firmly in control of their starting positions on the left side of the infield. Peralta was batting .204 with no homers or RBIs in 54 at-bats. Peralta is in the final season of a four-year, $52 million contract.

INF Jhonny Peralta was designated for assignment Friday upon the activation of 2B Kolten Wong, probably ending his career with the club. Peralta, signed to a four-year, $52 million deal after the 2013 season, was hitting .204 in 54 at-bats this year with no RBI. The 2015 National League All-Star shortstop was hampered by injuries last year and struggled to adapt to moving to 3B with the emergence of Aledmys Diaz.

The St. Louis Cardinals designated infielder Jhonny Peralta for assignment on Friday after suffering through an 0-7 road trip.Peralta has been relegated to backup duty with shortstop Aledmys Diaz and third baseman Jedd Gyorko firmly in control of their starting positions on the left side of the infield. Peralta was batting .204 with no homers or RBIs in 54 at-bats this season. Last season, he hit .260 with eight homers in 82 games for the Cardinals.Peralta is in the final season of a four-year, $52 million contract."There was no playing time," general manager John Mozeliak said of Peralta. "He wasn't getting the at-bats that he wanted, he didn't see himself necessarily as a role player for us. And as I stated last week, when you look at the success Gyorko was having, getting at-bats for Jhonny was going to be difficult."The Cardinals activated second baseman Kolten Wong (elbow) off the disabled list in a corresponding move. Wong is batting .278 with one homer and 16 RBIs.Mozeliak also expressed his disappointment in the performance of the club, which lost three games to the Chicago Cubs and four to the Cincinnati Reds during the devastating road trip. He declined to give manager Mike Matheny a vote of confidence during Friday's press conference.

INF Jhonny Peralta started in place of Gyorko at 3B Tuesday night, batting sixth and going 1-for-3 with a walk. Peralta started for the 12th time this year after missing over a month with an upper respiratory infection that landed him on the 10-day DL April 17. In 44 at-bats this year, Peralta is hitting .204 with no RBIs or extra-base hits.
