The New York Yankees have officially called up shortstop Oswald Peraza to the MLB roster; the third rated prospect in the Yankees farm system. The move comes at the perfect time for the team, who have been struggling since the All-Star break. At this point, it is worth doing everything they can to try to improve the team for the upcoming postseason.Peraza has been on a tremendous run recently, even hitting a home run in his final game in Triple-A. Now, he joins a struggling team with a chance to shine on the biggest stage of them all. If Oswald Peraza is as good as Yankees fans hope he is, the American League East leaders will be back to winning.Joel Sherman was the first to report on this news. Since the call up happened on the same day roster size limitations were increased from 26 to 28 players, there is no corresponding roster move.Joel Sherman@Joelsherman1SS Oswaldo Peraza is being promoted by the Yankees with rosters expanding.50211048SS Oswaldo Peraza is being promoted by the Yankees with rosters expanding.This was a no-lose situation for the New York Yankees, who needed to find a way to change things up.Scott Duwe@mountain_DuweHe literally forced their hand by playing so well.
