Yankees' Everson Pereira: Back in lineup Monday
Rotowire
Pereira (hamstring) will start in left field and bat ninth Monday against the Diamondbacks.
Pereira will be making his first start since Sept. 14 after missing the past week and a half with a nagging hamstring injury. With rain in the forecast for New York on Monday, Pereira could be at risk of being scratched from the contest, but for now, the 22-year-old looks like he'll stick in the lineup. The rookie is batting just .143 with no home runs and four stolen bases in 21 games since being called up from Triple-A Scranton/Wilkes-Barre on Aug. 22.

Yankees' Everson Pereira: Still out Tuesday
Rotowire
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
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
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.

Yankees' Everson Pereira: Showing improvement at plate
Rotowire
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
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
The Yankees selected Pereira's contract from Triple-A Scranton/Wilkes-Barre on Tuesday.

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.

Yankees' Everson Pereira: Set to be called up Tuesday
Rotowire
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.
