Before tonight’s series opener against Arizona, the Yankees announced that lefty reliever Wandy Peralta is headed to the IL with a triceps strain, ending his season. The bullpen staple hadn’t pitched in almost a week and manager Aaron Boone alluded to an injury issue yesterday when asked about him.
In a corresponding move, pitching prospect Yoendrys Gómez was recalled from Double-A to fill Peralta’s spot for the final week and change of the 2023 season. He had been scheduled to start for Somerset tonight in the Eastern League Division Series, but the Patriots’ season ended yesterday before a Game 3 was reached.
