David Peralta's role to begin the season is somewhat uncertain as the Diamondbacks are still working with Yasmany Tomas at third base to begin the spring.
Peralta's role to begin the season is somewhat uncertain as the Diamondbacks are still working with Yasmany Tomas at third base to begin the spring.
Analysis:
If Tomas can handle third base, Peralta and Ender Inciarte will likely share time in left field. Both players are left-handed hitters, however, which rules out a platoon. In the event that Tomas can't handle the defensive rigors of third base, Peralta and Inciarte stand to lose their path to regular playing time, while Jake Lamb would slot in at third base.
