New York Yankees infielder Oswald Peraza will miss the start of the 2024 season due to a right shoulder injury, out for 6-8 weeks.

Peraza, coming off a challenging season, was slated to contribute as a bench player for the upcoming season.

Jorbit Vivas and Jahmai Jones are potential internal replacements from the 40-player roster.

The Yankees may also look to acquire veterans with XX(B) free agent status who have the option to opt-out before Opening Day.

The team faced significant injury challenges last season, accumulating over 2,000 days lost due to player injuries.
