He has been arguably Arizona’s hottest player in July, raising his average nine points to .275. It will be tough for Hale to keep Peralta out of the lineup with Ender Inciarte back from the disabled list. He was on fire Friday and Saturday, going 5 for 10 with three triples and a home run. Peralta leads the National League in triples with seven after being among the league leaders in that category in 2014 with nine. With the D’backs facing a lot of righties this week, expect Peralta to be playing just about every contest.
