EDGE Analysis
Peterson continued his steady start to his big-league career Thursday. The left-hander has logged at least five innings and allowed three or less runs in each of his four starts. It is worth noting that the southpaw only threw 74 pitches due to shoulder soreness, according to Newsday Sports. Peterson described the soreness as "nothing to worry about," which indicates he thinks he'll be ready for his start against the Marlins next week.
