If Peraza is the 37 wRC+ hitter that he's been so far no way. If he can be the 80 wRC+ zips projects for rest of season that would play.

I don't think the league would consider this blocking the bag while preparing to receive the throw. He puts his knee in front of the base when he has the ball, but it seems like that is legal. Interestingly, the same umpire crew had a similar play this year www.closecallsports.com/2025/05/mlb-...

why post this screenshot and not the frame where he caught the ball?

This is probably the worst travel day of the season on top of being a the beginning of a brutal stretch of 16 days in a row.
