Scratched from lineup Friday Pereira was scratched from Friday's Cactus League lineup against the Cubs with tightness in his right side, Scott Merkin of MLB.com reports.

Joins ChiSox Tampa Bay traded Pereira (back) and Tanner Murray to the White Sox on Tuesday in exchange for Steven Wilson and Yoendrys Gomez, Marc Topkin of the Tampa Bay Times reports.

Impact Tampa Bay acquired Pereira in a trade with the Yankees in late July. He ended up playing 23 games with the Rays, struggling to a .138/.219/.246 slash line with two homers, eight RBI, two stolen bases and a 38.4 percent strikeout rate over 73 plate appearances before ending the season on the IL due to back inflammation. Pereira will now get a fresh start in Chicago, though to find big-league success and regular playing time, he'll likely need to make contact more consistently.

Moved to IL The Rays placed Pereira on the 10-day injured list Friday due to low back inflammation.

Impact Manager Kevin Cash said Thursday that Pereira wouldn't return in 2025, and Friday's move makes that official. The 24-year-old appeared in 23 games with the Rays this season, slashing .138/.219/.246 with a pair of home runs, two stolen bases and a 38.4 percent K rate. Jonathan Aranda (wrist) returned from the IL in a corresponding move.

Back injury ends season Rays manager Kevin Cash said Thursday that Pereira (back) is unlikely to return this season, Marc Topkin of the Tampa Bay Times reports.

Impact Pereira was forced to exit Thursday's game in Baltimore in the fourth inning with low-back tightness. While it does not seem to be a long-term injury, it will nonetheless prematurely end the outfielder's season. Pereira slashed .138/.219/.246 with two home runs in 23 games for the Rays in 2025.

Exits with apparent injury Pereira was removed from Thursday's game against the Orioles in the fourth inning with an undisclosed injury, Marc Topkin of the Tampa Bay Times reports.

Impact Pereira grounded out in the top of the fourth inning in his second plate appearance before being lifted for defense in the bottom of the frame. It's unclear what the issue is with the outfielder, but the Rays should provide clarity soon.

Smacks grand slam Pereira went 1-for-5 with a grand slam Friday against the Red Sox.

Impact The Rays rolled out a unique lineup with lefty Garrett Crochet on the mound, with Pereira hitting leadoff for the first time this season. He struck out in three of his first plate appearances, but he smacked the first grand slam and second homer of his career in the ninth inning. Periera is playing sparingly, starting only six games in September.

Belts first career homer Pereira went 1-for-3 with a walk, a solo home run and a second run scored in Friday's 4-1 win over the Nationals.

Impact The 24-year-old outfielder took Mitchell Parker deep in the fifth inning, giving Pereira his first career big-league homer in his 39th game. He's been seeing consistent playing time since being called up Aug. 11, but over 41 plate appearances for the Rays he's batting just .139 (5-for-36) with a 41.5 percent strikeout rate.

Sitting after three straight starts Pereira is out of the lineup for Wednesday's game against the Yankees.

Impact After going 1-for-9 with two walks, a stolen base and a run scored while starting each of the last three games in center field, Pereira will be the odd man out of the Tampa Bay outfield while Josh Lowe (oblique) makes his return to action. While he likely won't be in line for regular playing time against righties with Lowe back in the fold, Pereira could spell Lowe, Jake Mangum or Chandler Simpson in the outfield when the Rays oppose lefties.

Impact After going 1-for-9 with two walks, a stolen base and a run scored while starting each of the last three games in center field, Pereira will be the odd man out of the Tampa Bay outfield while Josh Lowe (oblique) makes his return to action. While Pereira likely won't be in line for regular playing time against righties with the outfield unit now closer to full strength, he could spell Lowe, Jake Mangum or Chandler Simpson in the outfield when the Rays oppose lefties.

Three straight starts Pereira went 1-for-3 with a walk, a run scored and a stolen base Tuesday against the Yankees.

Impact Pereira was recalled by the Rays Aug. 11 and made his third consecutive start Tuesday with Josh Lowe (oblique) sidelined. He has only three hits across 19 at-bats since his promotion, but he could be a decent source of steals if he continues to find playing time.

AUGUST 20, 2025 • ROTOWIRE

Summoned to big leagues The Rays recalled Pereira from Triple-A Durham on Monday.

Impact Acquired from the Yankees at the deadline in a trade that sent Jose Caballero to New York, Pereira has slashed .256/.359/.508 with 21 home runs, nine stolen bases and a 29.2 percent strikeout rate at the Triple-A level in 2025. The right-handed hitter should at least see starts against left-handed pitching, and he could earn reps versus righties, too.
