Tigers shortstop Jhonny Peralta was given a day off Sunday against Cleveland, the Detroit Free Press reports. Peralta has earned the day off. 

The reason that Peralta is not starting is due to his numbers off Indians starter Justin Masterson. He's 1 for 15 lifetime against him with six strikeouts. 

"He’s swinging real good," manager Jim Leyland said. "When a guy’s swinging that good, sometimes you get him out of there just to keep him swinging good and not put him out there against a guy he doesn’t have very much success against."

Peralta, who is batting .338 this season with six homers and 26 RBI, has gone 12 for 29 (.414) in June thus far over seven games with a homer, two RBI and five runs scored.
