Peralta returned to the club in 2019, posting a 2–2 record and 2.01 ERA with 34 strikeouts across 14 appearances (6 starts).[1] He did not play in a game in 2020 due to the cancellation of the minor league season because of the COVID-19 pandemic.[2]

In 9 games (7 starts), he compiled an 0–3 record and 3.41 ERA with 36 strikeouts across 29 innings pitched.[3] Peralta spent the next two seasons with the Single–A Bradenton Marauders. In 2022, he struggled to an 0–7 record and 6.41 ERA with 97 strikeouts over 19 games (18 starts). In 2023, Peralta posted an 0–3 record and 4.96 ERA with 67 strikeouts across 23 appearances.[4]
Peralta began the 2024 season with the High–A Greensboro Grasshoppers, recording an 0.60 ERA with 50 strikeouts and 3 saves over 19 appearances out of the bullpen. Following a promotion to the Double–A Altoona Curve, he logged a 1.86 ERA with 14 strikeouts and 2 saves across 7 outings.[5]
