Peralta isn't in the Padres' lineup for Saturday's game against the Red Sox.

Saturday marks the fifth consecutive absence for Peralta, and the second time he's sat against a right-handed starter (Tanner Houck) in that span. Bryce Johnson will start in right field for the fifth game in a row while batting ninth. He appears to have overtaken Peralta for a spot in the Padres' everyday lineup against right-handed pitching.
