• Yankees' Everson Pereira: Optioned to Triple-A

  Rotowire Mar 17, 2024

  The Yankees optioned Pereira to Triple-A Scranton/Wilkes-Barre on Sunday. Pereira struck out in all three of his plate appearances during Sunday's Grapefruit League matchup with the Red Sox, capping off a poor camp that saw him go 5-for-30 with 14 strikeouts. The 22-year-old had a .937 OPS at Triple-A last season and could receive another look with the Yankees if they deal with any outfield injuries.

• Yankees' Everson Pereira: Still out Tuesday

  Rotowire Sep 19, 2023

  Pereira (hamstring) remains out of the lineup for Tuesday's game against the Blue Jays. Per Gary Phillips of the New York Daily News, Yankees manager Aaron Boone revealed earlier in the day that Pereira could require a stint on the injured list due to a low-grade hamstring strain, an injury that's kept the outfielder out of action for a few days. The team hasn't made a move yet with the rookie outfielder, though, so perhaps that's an encouraging sign. Pereira will need at least another day to recuperate, however. Oswaldo Cabrera is in left field again Tuesday.

• Yankees' Everson Pereira: IL possible due to hamstring injury

  Rotowire Sep 19, 2023

  Yankees manager Aaron Boone said on Jomboy Media's Talkin' Yanks podcast Tuesday that Pereira could be placed on the 10-day injured list due to a hamstring injury. The hamstring injury offers an explanation as to why Pereira hasn't played since Thursday. Theoretically, Pereira could make it back before the end of the season if he ultimately does require a trip to the IL. Realistically, it probably wouldn't happen with so few days left on the calendar and the Yankees all but officially eliminated from playoff contention. The rookie outfielder has struggled mightily during his first taste of big-league action, slashing just .143/.241/.186 with a 39.2 percent strikeout rate. Oswaldo Cabrera has started in left field for the Yankees each of the last three games and could continue to see regular time there with Pereira out.

• Yankees' Everson Pereira: Swipes two bags in nightcap

  Rotowire Sep 13, 2023

  Pereira went 1-for-3 with a walk, two runs scored and two stolen bases in the second game of Tuesday's doubleheader against the Red Sox. After going 0-for-3 in the matinee but scoring a run after being hit by a pitch in the sixth inning, Pereira put his speed to better use in the nightcap. The 22-year-old rookie has had a tough start to his big-league career with a .450 OPS and a 38.7 percent strikeout rate through 75 plate appearances, but his 54.1 percent hard-hit rate and 4-for-4 performance on the basepaths highlight his electric tools.

  Rotowire Sep 11, 2023

  Pereira is not in the lineup for Monday's game against the Red Sox. Pereira owns just a .406 OPS against right-handers since joining the Yankees, so he will be held out in favor of the lefty-swinging Jake Bauers with righty Kutter Crawford starting for Boston on Monday.

• Yankees' Everson Pereira: Showing improvement at plate

  Rotowire Sep 3, 2023

  Pereira went 1-for-3 with a double, a walk, an RBI and a stolen base in Saturday's 5-4 win over Houston. The Yankees appear to be committed to Pereira as their primary left fielder down the stretch, as he's been in the lineup there every day since being called up from the minors Aug. 22. The 22-year-old struggled initially, going 3-for-28 with 13 strikeouts over his first eight contests but has shown some positive growth since, going 3-for-14 with three RBI, two thefts and a more tolerable four punchouts in his past four contests. New York is in last place in the AL East and 8.5 games out of a wild-card spot, so it wouldn't be surprising if the team continues to roll with Pereira for the remainder of the campaign.

• Yankees' Everson Pereira: Nabs first career steal

  Rotowire Aug 31, 2023

  Pereira went 1-for-3 with two RBI and a stolen base in Wednesday's 6-2 victory over Detroit. Pereira was credited with an RBI as a result of being hit by a pitch with the bases loaded in the first inning, and he plated another run with a single in the third. The rookie also collected his first big-league steal in that frame, though he was stranded at second base. Pereira hasn't exactly had many attempts to swipe a bag since being called up to the majors -- he entered Wednesday having reached base just six times over 31 plate appearances. However, he's been getting every opportunity to show off his skills, serving as New York's everyday left fielder since being promoted.

• Yankees' Everson Pereira: Starting in LF in MLB debut

  Rotowire Aug 22, 2023

  The Yankees selected Pereira's contract from Triple-A Scranton/Wilkes-Barre on Tuesday. Manager Aaron Boone said in an interview with Jomboy Media's "Talkin' Yanks" podcast that Pereira will start in left field Tuesday against the Nationals in what will be his major-league debut. The skipper added that while Pereira is capable of playing all three outfield spots, his immediate role will be as the team's regular left fielder. Pereira has batted .300/.373/.548 with 18 home runs and 11 stolen bases in 81 games between Double-A Somerset and Scranton/Wilkes-Barre this season.

• Yankees' Everson Pereira: Set to be called up Tuesday

  Rotowire Aug 21, 2023

  Peraza is expected to be called up by the Yankees prior to Tuesday's game against the Nationals, Jack Curry of YES Network reports. Neither Double-A nor Triple-A pitchers have had many answers for Pereira this season, and the 22-year-old appears primed to play in the big leagues for the first time. He has huge raw power and does most of his damage against fastballs, but he has also always struck out at a high clip, so there could be growing pains initially against big-league pitching. Assuming Pereira gets the call he will have a chance to play regularly in left field, a position five different Yankees have already started at this month.

• Yankees' Everson Pereira: Shining since promotion to Triple-A

  Rotowire Jul 9, 2023

  Pereira is slashing .529/.579/.765 with a home run, seven RBI and five runs since being moved up to Triple-A Scranton/Wilkes-Barre on July 4. Pereira earned the promotion by slashing .291/.362/.545 with 10 long balls and 31 RBI over 46 contests with Double-A Somerset. The outfielder debuted at the Triple-A level with a flourish, smashing a three-run homer in his first at-bat, and has logged at least one hit in each of his four games with the RailRiders thus far. Pereira is on the Yankees' 40-man roster, and there's a reasonable chance he'll make his MLB debut at some point this season.

• Yankees' Everson Pereira: Working back from injury

  Rotowire Aug 10, 2022

  Pereira hasn't played for Double-A Somerset since July 30 due to an unspecified injury, Mike Ashmore of the Somerville Courier News reports. Somerset initially described Pereira's removal from the July 30 game as being related to cramps, but his absence from the lineup for more than a week suggests the 21-year-old is working through an injury. Fortunately, Pereira's injury is more of a day-to-day than a long-term situation, as Ashmore relays that the outfield prospect has resumed on-field work. Pereira is slashing .243/.317/.324 through his first nine games at Somerset since getting a July 13 call-up from High-A Hudson Valley.

• Yankees' Everson Pereira: Moves up to Double-A

  Rotowire Jul 13, 2022

  Pereira was promoted to Double-A Somerset on Wednesday, Matt Kardos of MLB.com reports. Pereira showcased his potential at High-A Hudson Valley to begin the regular season. Although his power numbers were slightly down early in 2022, he'll be rewarded with a promotion to test his skills against a higher level of competition. He appeared in 73 games at Hudson Valley this year and slashed .274/.354/.455 with nine homers, 55 runs, 43 RBI and 19 runs.
