Peralta was a late add to the Cardinals' lineup Wednesday, sliding in as the third baseman and batting fifth, the Cincinnati Enquirer's C. Trent Rosecrans reports.

EDGE Analysis

With Matt Adams getting scratched with an undisclosed ailment, Matt Carpenter will start at first base and Peralta will take over at the hot corner. It was going to be just a regular day off for Peralta, and he will continue to be in the lineup almost every day going forward.
