Fantasy baseball Waiver Wire: Jhonny Peralta a worthy pickup

The Cardinals had precious few options when Jhonny Peralta suffered a torn thumb ligament on his glove hand in spring training, and none of them seemed good. They went out and signed Ruben Tejada two weeks before the season started, but he suffered a strained quad the final day of March that forced him to start the season on the DL. The Cardinals’ Opening Day shortstop was second baseman Jedd Gyorko. It was clear, at least then, that the Cardinals were desperately counting down the days until Peralta’s return.

In the team’s second game of the year, Aledmys Diaz got his first start at shortstop.
