Peralta left Tuesday's game with left thumb discomfort, MLB.com's Nick Krueger reports.

EDGE Analysis

He already missed two months this season with a left thumb injury that required surgery, but the team says Tuesday's injury is unrelated. The Cardinals have enough depth to manage in the short term, with Matt Carpenter, Greg Garcia and Jedd Gyorko all available to play third base. Look for Peralta's status to be updated prior to Wednesday's game.
