Oswald Perazawho has been away from games for the last eight weeks, is about to finally return to the field.
The Yankees’ Single-A affiliate, the Tampa Tarpons, announced that Peraza is scheduled to begin a rehab assignment Tuesday when the team plays a doubleheader against Clearwater.
The 23-year-old reported feeling some discomfort in his right shoulder during spring training and ended up being shut down due to a subscapularis strain. At the time the injury was announced on March 9 Aaron Boone told reporters that Peraza would be closed for six to eight weeks. Last Saturday marked eight weeks.
Peraza, who returned to playing in early April, played in 70 games for the Yankees over the past two seasons, slashing .216/.298/.306 with three home runs, 11 doubles, 16 RBI and 23 runs scored.
