The rehab assignment for Jhonny Peralta has been temporarily placed on pause after the Cardinals infielder cut his right thumb while opening a box, Derrick Goold of the St. Louis Post-Dispatch reports.
Slated to start in his second game for AA Springfield on Saturday night, Peralta was not in the team’s lineup after requiring three stitches, a club official told Goold, and could miss three to four days of his rehab assignment as he recovers.
Peralta, 34, was 3-15 (.200) in his rehab assignment with Class A Peoria and Springfield as he works his way back from mid-March thumb surgery.
