The Yankees optioned Pereira to Triple-A Scranton/Wilkes-Barre on Tuesday.
Pereira has a 1.090 OPS this spring but has been limited to designated hitter duty following last June's elbow surgery. He should be ready to play the field soon and will receive everyday reps at Scranton/Wilkes-Barre as he waits for an opportunity with the big club.

Yankees' Everson Pereira: Slugs second spring homer
Rotowire
Pereira went 1-for-2 with a solo home run in Friday's Grapefruit League win over the Blue Jays.
Pereira entered the game as a pinch hitter in the eighth inning and tied the score with a solo shot to left-center field. He stayed in the contest for an additional at-bat but didn't play the field, taking over the designated hitter spot. Pereira has been limited to pinch-hitting and DH duties this spring while he continues to recover from the elbow surgery he underwent last June, but he's expected to return to the outfield before the end of the exhibition slate and still has a chance of making the Opening Day roster in a reserve role.

Yankees' Everson Pereira: Limited to DH duty, for now
Rotowire
Yankees manager Aaron Boone said Wednesday that Pereira (elbow) will be limited to designated hitter duty until mid-March, Bryan Hoch of MLB.com reports.
The Yankees consider Pereira to be fully healthy following internal brace surgery on his right elbow last June, but he won't be cleared to play the outfield in spring training games for a few weeks. Boone said that Pereira is "very much in the mix" for an Opening Day roster spot.

Yankees' Everson Pereira: Healthy going into spring training
Rotowire
Yankees manager Aaron Boone said Tuesday in an interview on WFAN Sports Radio that Pereira (elbow) is healthy and will compete for a roster spot in spring training.
Pereira underwent an internal brace surgery on his right elbow in June, but it sounds like he's fully recovered and won't have any restrictions in spring training. While the Yankees could carry Pereira on the Opening Day roster as a reserve outfielder, the club might prefer that he plays every day at Triple-A Scranton/Wilkes-Barre.
Yankees' Everson Pereira: Needs internal brace surgery
Rotowire
Pereira is set to undergo a season-ending internal brace surgery on his right elbow in the coming days, Andy Martino of SNY.tv reports.
Pereira had already been placed on Triple-A Scranton/Wilkes-Barre's full-season minor-league injured list, so it comes as little surprise that he'll be in line for major surgery. The rehab from an internal brace procedure is shorter than a full Tommy John surgery, especially for position players, but Pereira still seems likely to get a late start to next season. The 23-year-old slashed .265/.346/.512 with 10 home runs and five stolen bases over 40 games with Scranton/Wilkes-Barre in 2024.

Pereira will be making his first start since Sept. 14 after missing the past week and a half with a nagging hamstring injury.

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.
