2024 Fantasy Outlook
Peralta had a fine, if uneventful, first half during his initial season as a Dodger, posting a .757 OPS with seven homers and 32 RBI across 229 plate appearances. However, his offensive production cratered after the All-Star break, as he registered a paltry .578 OPS without a single homer over his final 59 games. The dropoff can be at least partially attributed to a left elbow injury that required flexor tendon surgery following the campaign -- though Peralta's 44.2 percent hard-hit rate last season was considerably above league-average, the injury likely explains why his barrel rate and max exit velocity dipped below his career norms. The surgery also complicates Peralta's outlook for next season, as it's not certain that he'll be ready to play when Opening Day 2024 rolls around. Even if he does recover in time for the start of the campaign, the 36-year-old may be best suited for a reserve role at this point in his career. Read Past Outlooks
Will stay in extended spring
Peralta (elbow) will stay back at extended spring training at the beginning of the season to continue his throwing progression, Patrick Mooney of The Athletic reports.
ANALYSIS
Peralta underwent flexor tendon surgery in October before inking a minor-league contract with the Cubs in February. While Peralta is able to hit, he still isn't able to play the outfield. Peralta could eventually become an option for the Cubs bench, but he'll have to get healthy first.

Stat Review
How does David Peralta compare to other hitters?
This section compares his stats with all batting seasons from the previous three seasons (minimum 400 plate appearances)*. The bar represents the player's percentile rank. For example, if the bar is halfway across, then the player falls into the 50th percentile for that stat and it would be considered average.
* Exit Velocity and Barrels/PA % are benchmarked against 2019 data (min 400 PA) and Hard Hit Rate is benchmarked against last season's data (min 400 PA). See here for more exit velocity/barrels stats plus an explanation of current limitations with that data set.

Latest Fantasy Rumors
CF limited to spring
Peralta is expected to play some center field during spring training and the World Baseball Classic, but the Dodgers don't plan to use him there during the regular season, per Matthew Moreno of DodgerBlue.com.
ANALYSIS
The veteran outfielder has never exactly been known for his defense, so it's not a major surprise he won't be playing center field in his age-35 campaign despite likely doing so for Team Venezuela in the WBC. Peralta hasn't even played right field since 2018, so he's unlikely to see much time there either, especially if Mookie Betts can remain healthy.

For several seasons, Peralta was unfairly pigeonholed as a platoon batter, even though the lefty swinger handled southpaw pitching sufficiently to be a regular. However, last season, his numbers facing same side pitching plummeted, as he slashed just .154/.247/.215 without the platoon edge. That said, a .267/.329/.449 line facing righthanders is enough to find a job as a reserve outfielder, or perhaps reverting to his usual role of facing most righties. Peralta's primary issue was a career-high 23.3% strikeout rate. There was a time Peralta was the ideal outfielder to draft late as a safe play, perhaps hedging a high-upside hitter. Even with the weakened state of the current outfield inventory, it's hard to envision Peralta being fantasy-relevant in a mixed league with 15 or fewer teams.
