Career

editPeralta was selected by the Chicago White Sox in the 18th round, with the 530th overall selection, of the 2019 Major League Baseball draft.[1] He spent his first professional season split between the rookie-level Great Falls Voyagers and Arizona League White Sox, posting a cumulative 1.96 ERA with 4 saves across 18 appearances. Peralta did not play in a game in 2020 due to the cancellation of the minor league season because of the COVID-19 pandemic.[2]
In 2021, he split the season between the Single-A Kannapolis Cannon Ballers and the High-A Winston-Salem Dash, pitching in 31 games and registering a combined 3–1 record and 4.07 ERA with 68 strikeouts and 2 saves in 55.1 innings pitched.[3] He split the 2022 season between the Double-A Birmingham Barons and Triple-A Charlotte Knights, recording a cumulative 4–4 record and 3.77 ERA with 76 strikeouts and 4 saves in 62.0 innings of work. He began the 2023 season with Charlotte, logging a 1–1 record and 3.52 ERA with 15 strikeouts across 8 contests.[4]
On May 2, 2023, Peralta was selected to the 40-man roster and promoted to the major leagues for the first time.[5] In 16 games for Chicago during his rookie campaign, he recorded a 4.05 ERA with 18 strikeouts across 20 innings pitched.
Peralta was optioned to Triple–A Charlotte to begin the 2024 season.[6] However, following multiple roster moves on March 28, Peralta was designated for assignment by Chicago.[7]
Seattle Mariners

Chicago White Sox (second stint)
