Yankees' Oswald Peraza: Shut down with shoulder strain

Peraza was diagnosed with a subscapularis strain in his right shoulder Saturday, Bryan Hoch of MLB.com reports.

Peraza has been in and out of spring training lineups due to problems with his right shoulder, and his latest round of imaging revealed a strain that will keep him shut down for 6-to-8 weeks. The 23-year-old infielder will almost certainly begin the year on the injured list, opening the door for someone like Jahmai Jones to potentially make the Yankees' Opening Day roster as a utility man.
