Peralta (neck) picked up the save Saturday against the Rockies, allowing one walk and no hits in a scoreless ninth inning. Peralta had been treated for a stiff neck earlier in the week, but was able to make his first appearance in a five-day span. He only needed 11 pitches to induce three fly-ball outs, so he should be available again Sunday if need be. The 39-year-old reliever is a perfect 3-for-3 in save opportunities this year, and has yet to surrender an earned run on the season.

Peralta (neck) was seen warming up in the bullpen late in Friday's game, Ken Gurnick of MLB.com reports. The Dodgers had a four-run lead in the ninth, so Peralta wasn't needed, but he warmed up just in case Colorado made it any closer. Peralta received treatment for a stiff neck earlier in the week, and while he appears good to go moving forward, consider him day-to-day until he actually pitches in a game. He's allowed just two hits in 4.1 scoreless innings so far this season, racking up two saves and a win in the process.

Peralta was being treated for a stiff neck prior to Wednesday's game, and his availability is unclear, MLB.com's Ken Gurnick reports. He has been a strong fantasy asset so far this season with Kenley Jansen out, so hopefully Peralta does not miss time with this ailment. Fortunately it seems fairly minor. He has two saves, a win and has not allowed a run in five appearances this season.

Peralta retired the only batter he faced in picking up his second save in Sunday's 7-4 win over Arizona. A 7-0 Dodgers lead in the bottom of ninth quickly got ugly before Peralta came in and closed the door. He's likely now locked in as the team's primary closer until Kenley Jansen (foot) returns next month.

Peralta struck out one in a perfect ninth inning to pick up the save Wednesday against the Padres. Chris Hatcher picked up the save Monday, but Wednesday was Peralta's turn. The Dodgers will continue to use a committee until closer Kanley Jansen (foot) returns.

Peralta earned the win in relief Monday while tossing a scoreless eighth inning against the Padres, while Chris Hatcher picked up the save with a scoreless ninth. The Dodgers have suggested that a committee is in order to fill in for closer Kenley Jansen, but the usage Monday is an indication that Hatcher has the upper hand for save opportunities at the present time.

Peralta tossed a scoreless inning Thursday against the Angels, walking one and striking out none. That's one run in three innings for Peralta so far this spring. His shoulder woes appear to be behind him, so he's got a good shot at subbing for Kenley Jansen (foot) at the closer position next month.

Peralta appears to be on target for Opening Day after tossing a scoreless inning with two strikeouts on Monday against the A's. He's probably also the favorite to be the primary closer while Kenley Jansen (foot) is sidelined. Still, we would expect manager Don Mattingly to provide further clarity within the next week or two.

Peralta (shoulder) completed a 23-pitch bullpen session Tuesday and expects to make his Cactus League debut Friday, MLB.com reports. A bout of shoulder soreness has put Peralta behind schedule, but he said Tuesday that he's almost where he would be normally at the start of spring training, thanks to the rehab regimen established by the team trainers. While Peralta admitted that his strength is "not all there yet," he believes it will return with pitching in games. He will need to make up ground in a hurry to have a chance to fill in for Kenley Jansen (foot) at the start of the season.

Peralta (shoulder) plans to throw live batting practice Tuesday, Ken Gurnick of MLB.com reports. The right-hander completed another bullpen session Saturday and will look ahead to his first live session of the spring early next week. Peralta posted a 4.41 ERA in 69 appearances last season, but his FIP was more than a run lower at 3.40, and he struck out nearly five batters for every one he walked (4.93 K/BB). He is among the top candidates to fill in for Kenley Jansen (foot) in the closer role to begin the year.
