Jace Peterson's Stats, Metrics, Game Logs, Projections & Rankings

Arizona Diamondbacks infielder Jace Peterson (wrist) returned to the team's Cactus League lineup on Monday, starting at third base and batting second in the lineup. Peterson is making his return after being held out of spring training action for almost a week due to inflammation in his right wrist, but the 33-year-old veteran is feeling better now. When the rest of Arizona's infield is healthy, there isn't going to be a starting spot available for him in 2024, so he's expected to serve in a utility infield role in the desert. The left-handed hitter spent last year with the D-backs and Oakland Athletics, slashing just .211/.304/.307 with six home runs, 37 RBI and a career-high 15 stolen bases in 133 games played. At best, Peterson is a bench option for his speed in NL-only affairs.
