Diamondbacks manager Kirk Gibson said after Thursday's game that Peralta (back) is "a day or two away" from returning to the lineup, AZCentral.com reports.

Analysis:

The 27-year-old has been sidelined since Sept. 5 due to back troubles, but it sounds like he has a chance to play in this weekend's series in Colorado. A June 1 callup to the big club, Peralta has hit .293/.326/.461 in 80 games with Arizona this season, which is all the more impressive when considering he was playing independent league ball a year ago.
