• Yankees' Everson Pereira: Optioned to Triple-A

  Rotowire Mar 11, 2025

  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: Limited to DH duty, for now

  Rotowire Feb 19, 2025

  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 Jan 28, 2025

  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 Jun 14, 2024

  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.

• Yankees' Everson Pereira: Done for 2024

  Rotowire Jun 13, 2024

  Triple-A Scranton/Wilkes-Barre transferred Pereira from its 7-day injured list to its full-season injured list Tuesday while he tends to an undisclosed injury. Pereira made his big-league debut in 2023 but failed to break camp with the Yankees. He had maintained a .265/.346/.512 slash line (118 wRC+) across 182 plate appearances with Scranton/Wilkes-Barre before he was moved to the 7-day IL on May 30.

  Pereira (hamstring) remains out of the lineup for Friday's game versus the Diamondbacks. It's the eighth straight start Pereira has missed due to a hamstring injury. He is still listed among the Yankees' reserves Friday, so evidently the team isn't ready to put Pereira on the injured list yet. Oswaldo Cabrera is again handling left field.

• Yankees' Everson Pereira: Sits again with hamstring injury

  Rotowire Sep 21, 2023

  Pereira (hamstring) is out of the lineup again Thursday versus the Blue Jays.

• 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.

  Rotowire Sep 14, 2023

The 22-year-old is showing a weak .143/.241/.186 batting line through his first 79 major-league plate appearances.

• 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.

• Yankees' Everson Pereira: Not part of Monday's lineup

  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.
