D-backs OF David Peralta scratched vs. Padres with back tightness

June 21, 2022 by ArizonaSports.com - 98.7 FM

The Arizona Diamondbacks made a last-minute lineup change Monday ahead of their series opener against the San Diego Padres.

Left fielder David Peralta was scratched due to lower-back tightness, the team announced.

Jordan Luplow replaced Peralta in the batting order against Padres righty Yu Darvish.

Peralta played in 61 out of 68 D-backs games before Monday. He left a game on June 6 against the Cincinnati Reds with back spasms after diving but returned to action the following day.

The veteran outfielder missed a chance to face a pitcher he’s had past success against. Peralta is hitting .391 against Darvish with three home runs in 27 plate appearances.

The D-backs did get right fielder Daulton Varsho back after he missed Sunday’s game with a heel contusion.

Peralta has .234/.304/.433 splits this season in 224 plate appearances.

His OPS is .796 against right-handed pitchers and all eight of his home runs have come against righties.

The D-backs and Padres are battling at Petco Park, as Arizona looks for its fourth win in five games. Zach Davies is on the hill for the D-backs.
