Peralta gets another save chance: After David Price dominated the A's on Friday, Oakland started to creep back into the contest by loading the bases in the ninth inning. Manager Joe Maddon called on reliever Joel Peralta to get his team out of the jam and he did just that. He needed three pitches to get the job done, earning his second save of the season. The Rays would win the game, 7-2. (Updated 05/04/2012)

Fantasy Analysis
Peralta has been pitching well for the Rays, and is giving Fantasy owners a productive week. He has 10 career saves, and will likely get a few save opportunities down the road when Fernando Rodney needs a night off. For that reason, Fantasy owners should view Peralta as an AL-only pitching option. (Updated 05/04/2012).

After posting a 2.02 ERA over 39 appearances with the Nationals in 2010, Joel Peralta signed with the Rays last offseason and continued to be a reliable reliever out of the back end of the bullpen. He went 3-4 with a 2.93 ERA in 71 appearances, including going 6 for 8 in save chances. He posted a 61-to-18 strikeout-to-walk ratio in 67 2/3 innings and did a solid job of setting up for closer Kyle Farnsworth in Tampa Bay. The right-hander re-signed with the Rays for the 2012 campaign and will likely tag-team with Fernando Rodney for the setup role. While Peralta could see a few chances here and there, his role will limit his value in Fantasy. Still, the 35-year-old should still be considered a viable option in leagues that use middle men as well as deeper AL-only formats. (Updated 2/14/12)
