Joel Peralta: Joel Peralta: Has Dead Arm, DL Likely

NEWS UPDATE

Peralta said he has dead arm, and it seems likely that he is headed for the DL, ESPN Los Angeles' Mark Saxon reports.

ROTOWIRE FANTASY ANALYSIS

Peralta said he does not have shoulder pain, but he did not top 84 mph on any of his pitches Thursday, so something is clearly amiss. The Dodgers will need to activate a pitcher for Sunday's game, and placing Peralta on the DL would be a logical corresponding move. Yimi Garcia got the save in Friday's game and has been dominant so far this season, making him the ideal pitcher to own in that bullpen other than Kenley Jansen (foot).
