Peralta is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Brewers.

EDGE Analysis

Peralta had started 11 straight games before Sunday, but it's likely just standard rest for the veteran. Greg Garcia will get the fill-in start at shortstop and bat seventh.

Peralta went 3-for-4 with a run scored in a 4-3 loss to the Brewers on Friday.

EDGE Analysis

The shortstop has had a very nice season for the Cardinals, as he has 17 homers and 67 RBI to go along with a .274 average. Not many shortstops can give you the power numbers that Peralta does and that makes him one of the top options going into drafts next season.

Peralta went 2-for-3 with a three-run homer against the Brewers in Thursday's 6-3 victory.

EDGE Analysis

The Cards were down 3-0 in this one, but Peralta erased that deficit with one big swing. The long ball was his first in quite some time, as he hadn't gone yard since homering in consecutive games July 31 and Aug. 1. Indeed, it's been a struggle for him as a whole since the All-Star break, but perhaps this is a sign that things are starting to take a turn for the better.

Peralta is out of the lineup for the second game in a row in Sunday's game against the Reds.

EDGE Analysis

It might just be another day off for the 33-year-old, but we'll see later while Greg Garcia gets the start. It would be encouraging if he makes a pinch hit appearance in this game, but probably nothing to panic about yet.

Peralta is out of the lineup Sunday against the Giants.

EDGE Analysis

Peralta will receive an off day Sunday, with Greg Garcia receiving the start at shortstop. He remains the everyday shortstop, however, so he should be back in the lineup within the next couple days.

Peralta went 3-for-4 with a home run in Sunday's loss to the Pirates. The All-Star Peralta once again proved why he's one of the top hitting shortstops in 2015. With three hits on Sunday, he raised his average back up to a team-high .298. He also leads the team in home runs with 13 and RBI with 46. If he can continue this pace after the All-Star break, he could set career highs in every major statistical category.

Peralta is in Friday's lineup against the Cubs. He was scratched for an undisclosed reason Thursday, but it may not have been a medical issue, as he is right back int he mix Friday. Peralta will hit third against righty Jake Arrieta.

Peralta was scratched from Thursday's lineup against the Marlins, Derrick Goold of the St. Louis Post-Dispatch reports. The reason for Peralta's absence is a bit unclear at this point, and the team hasn't released an updated lineup, but Pete Kozma will replace him at shortstop. The Cardinals should give an update on his status at some point, which should provide more clarity on his status moving forward.
