Since being called up from Triple-A St. Paul on Sept. 5, Pereda has gone 6-for-15 with two doubles, two walks and one RBI over six games.

Claimed by Twins The Twins claimed Pereda off waivers from the Athletics and Tuesday and optioned him to Triple-A St. Paul, Dan Hayes of The Athletic reports.

Impact The Twins are swapping out one catcher (Jair Camargo) for another on their 40-man roster. Pereda has slashed just .175/.283/.225 during his brief time in the majors this season but has collected an .840 OPS in 2025 at the Triple-A level.

JULY 22, 2025 • ROTOWIRE

Booted off 40-man roster The Athletics DFA'd Pereda on Saturday, Jason Burke of SI.com reports.

Impact Pereda has appeared in 19 games for the Athletics this season, slashing .175/.283/.225 with no homers and three RBI over 46 plate appearances. He's fared better in the minors with an .840 OPS with Triple-A Las Vegas, but the A's needed to clear a 40-man roster spot for pitcher Ken Waldichuk (elbow), who was activated off the 60-day IL and optioned to Las Vegas in a corresponding move.

JULY 19, 2025 • ROTOWIRE

Optioned to Triple-A The Athletics optioned Pereda to Triple-A Las Vegas on Monday.

Impact Pereda is clearing out to make room for Austin Wynns, who was officially added to the active roster Monday. Willie MacIver will share catching duties with Wynns.

Back in big leagues The Athletics recalled Pereda from Triple-A Las Vegas on Friday.

Impact With Shea Langeliers (oblique) headed for the injured list, the A's will call upon Pereda to replenish the big club's depth behind the plate. The 29-year-old backstop has gone just 6-for-36 in the majors this season and will presumably work as a temporary backup to Willie MacIver.
