José Francisco Peraza Polo (born April 30, 1994) is a Venezuelan professional baseball second baseman and shortstop for the Leones de Yucatán of the Mexican League.

[3] He was promoted to the Mississippi Braves of the Double–A Southern League in June,[4][5] and selected to play in the All-Star Futures Game in July.

[8] At the end of the season, Peraza was named the Braves Minor League Player of the Year.

[11] He was invited to spring training in 2015, and sent down on March 16 to begin the season with the Gwinnett Braves of the Triple–A International League.

[12] With the emergence of Jace Peterson at second base, the Braves decided to begin starting Peraza at center field to increase his experience in the outfield and overall versatility.

[13] When outfielder Mallex Smith was promoted to Triple-A in June 2015, Peraza returned to man second base.

[14] On July 30, 2015, in a three-team trade, the Los Angeles Dodgers acquired Peraza, Mat Latos, Michael Morse, Bronson Arroyo, Alex Wood, Jim Johnson, and Luis Avilán, while the Miami Marlins acquired minor league pitchers Victor Araujo, Jeff Brigham, and Kevin Guzman, and the Braves received Héctor Olivera, Paco Rodriguez, minor league pitcher Zachary Bird and a competitive balance draft pick for the 2016 MLB Draft.

[17] He was the third Los Angeles Dodger to hit a triple in his first major league game, joining Doug Rau in 1972 and Gary Moore in 1970.

[18][19] He wound up battling hamstring injuries during his time with the club and only played in seven games before he was shut down for good.

[21] On December 16, 2015, Peraza, along with Scott Schebler and Brandon Dixon, were traded to the Cincinnati Reds in a three team trade that sent Frankie Montas, Micah Johnson and Trayce Thompson to the Dodgers and Todd Frazier to the Chicago White Sox.

During the 2016–17 offseason, Brandon Phillips was traded to the Atlanta Braves, a move that was expected to give Peraza a chance to become the Reds' starting second baseman.

[37] He made his Red Sox debut against the Baltimore Orioles on July 24, 2020, getting his first hit, a double, in the third inning.
