EDGE Analysis

Peterson walked as a pinch hitter and stole a base in Sunday's 5-3 loss to Minnesota.

EDGE Analysis

Peterson's theft was one of eight on the day for Arizona, which apparently tried to run its way out of a slump that reached six consecutive losses Sunday. It was the second straight game with a steal for Peterson, who is 3-for-13 with two steals (caught once) since joining the Diamondbacks. With second baseman Ketel Marte (quadriceps) leaving the game, Peterson could slot in at the keystone if the injury lingers.

Peterson went 1-for-4 with a stolen base in Saturday's 12-1 loss to Minnesota.

EDGE Analysis

Peterson had one of two hits for the Diamondbacks, who lost their fifth straight. The steal was his 12th, one shy of his career-best mark set in 2018 with the Yankees and Orioles. This was the lefty hitter's third start in five games since being acquired at the trade deadline. All of Peterson's starts have come against right-handers, but it should be noted that Emmanuel Rivera also started against a right-hander since Peterson arrived in the desert.
