The Rockies have claimed left-hander Sammy Peralta<\/a> off the Brewers\u2019 waiver wire, Todd Rosiak of the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel<\/a> reports.\u00a0 Colorado has officially announced the move, and shifted right-hander McCade Brown<\/a> to the 60-day injured list to create space for Peralta on the 40-man roster.\u00a0 Peralta has been optioned to the Rockies\u2019 Triple-A affiliate.<\/p>\n

The Brew Crew designated Peralta for assignment earlier this week to open up a 40-man roster spot for the newly-acquired Luis Matos<\/a>.\u00a0 Peralta\u2019s tenure with the Brewers will end after two Triple-A appearances and zero big league games, as Milwaukee just claimed Peralta off waivers from the Angels last October.<\/p>\n

Appearing in each of the last three MLB seasons, Peralta\u2019s resume in the Show consists of 30 appearances and 45 2\/3 innings with the White Sox and Angels from 2023-25.\u00a0 He has a 5.12 ERA, 17.3% strikeout rate, and 11.2% walk rate, and Peralta has averaged only 89.3mph on his fastball during his brief time in the majors.<\/p>\n

Peralta drastically cut back on his fastball in 2025 and also cut back on his changeup usage, instead incorporating a sinker a third of the time and boosting his slider up to a 49% usage rate, without any real change in results.\u00a0 While his ERA jumped from 4.80 in 2024 with the Sox to 7.59 with the Angels in 2025, Peralta\u2019s underlying metrics didn\u2019t change much, so his change in pitch repertoire didn\u2019t have any impact on his performance either under the hood or in terms of bottom-line results.<\/p>\n

Peralta routinely pitches multiple innings in relief, making him a useful depth option for the Rockies\u2019 bullpen.\u00a0 Brennan Bernardino<\/a> is also the only left-hander in Colorado\u2019s current relief mix, which could give Peralta some extra opportunity to stick with the team if and when he is eventually called up from Triple-A.<\/p>\n

Brown started the season on Colorado\u2019s 15-day IL due to shoulder inflammation, and the move to the 60-day IL ensures that his 2026 debut won\u2019t come until at least the last week of May.\u00a0 2025 marked Brown\u2019s first taste of the big leagues, as he posted a 7.36 ERA over 25 2\/3 innings and seven starts for the Rockies.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"The Rockies have claimed left-hander Sammy Peralta off the Brewers\u2019 waiver wire, Todd Rosiak of the Milwaukee Journal…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":585649,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[558],"tags":[64,63,277832,591,286669,85],"class_list":{"0":"post-585648","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-mlb","8":"tag-au","9":"tag-australia","10":"tag-mccade-brown","11":"tag-mlb","12":"tag-sammy-peralta","13":"tag-sports"},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/585648","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=585648"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/585648\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/585649"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=585648"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=585648"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=585648"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
