He walked three batters and landed just 52% of his pitches for strikes.<\/p>\n<p id=\"S7PAI76CSRA4BJM4RP4QXRVWEI\">But it was only Perales\u2019 fourth outing in 2025.<\/p>\n<p id=\"NP6LSXQGQFC7ZOAC7NFVK4XAHA\">He missed nearly the entire season while rehabbing from Tommy John surgery that he underwent June 27, 2024. He returned Sept. 13 and pitched in three games combined between Double-A Portland and Triple-A Worcester. He allowed two runs, no hits and three walks while striking out four.<\/p>\n<p id=\"5M62OSJLHRFATOFB4NF3BXHXYU\">For Salt River on Tuesday, he showed elite velocity with three pitches in the triple digits. He touched 101.1 mph, 100.2 mph and 100 mph.<\/p>\n<p id=\"EPBGL2LPIRHZDEBRZQTCL6JTNI\">Perales, a member of Boston\u2019s 40-man roster, has yet to make his big league debut. He began the 2025 season ranked as Boston\u2019s No. 1 pitching prospect, but Baseball America now has him ranked behind pitchers Payton Tolle, 2025 first-round pick Kyson Witherspoon, Connelly Earlyand Brandon Clarke. Overall, he is the Red Sox\u2019 No. 8 prospect, according to Baseball America.<\/p>\n<p id=\"YHFW6IBK4VASXCUZCO7VHNG4FY\">Red Sox prospect Brandon Neely, a 2024 third round pick out of Florida, also pitched for Salt River on Tuesday. He allowed two runs in three innings but both runs were unearned. He gave up three hits and no walks while striking out one.<\/p>\n<section data-gaid=\":Rdpaq6:\">\n<ul data-testid=\"list\">\n<li>Red Sox rookie Payton Tolle will finally \u2018get a shirt\u2019 \u2014 and an award<\/li>\n<li>Could Red Sox 22-year-old prospect up to 100 mph help during final week?<\/li>\n<li>Red Sox\u2019 No. 8 prospect reaches 100 mph in return from Tommy John surgery<\/li>\n<li>Red Sox prospect is national champ with a heater up to 98 mph, \u2018competitive edge\u2019<\/li>\n<li>Red Sox starter from Rafael Devers trade remains option for Boston debut Saturday<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/section>\n<\/div>\n<p>If you purchase a product or register for an account through a link on our site, we may receive compensation.
