Bridgewater, New Jersey - The New York Yankees announced today that LHP Wandy Peralta will begin a rehab assignment at Double-A with the Somerset Patriots. He will join the team on the road against the Reading Fightin' Phils (Philadelphia Phillies).

Peralta was placed on the ten-day injured list on June 26th with a back strain and will now begin his path back to the majors. He recently threw a bullpen session at TD Bank Ballpark during Somerset's last homestand.

The Dominican hurler made his Major League debut with the Cincinnati Reds in 2016 and enjoyed a breakout season in 2017 in which he went 3-4 with a 3.76 ERA across 69 relief appearances. Peralta owns a 10-10 record with a 4.76 ERA and 168 strikeouts over 210 innings across 242 appearances in his six years at the Major League level.
