EDGE Analysis

The veteran shortstop is finally starting to flourish at the plate in his first stretch of extended playing time during what has been an injury-marred campaign. Peralta has hits in three straight and multi-hit efforts in four games to date in August. His .296/.333/.426 line in the current month appears to be indicative of a potential offensive awakening and has helped bring his season average 29 points since Aug. 1.
