Kurtz triples, scores and Ferguson retires 3 straight in the 9th to lift A's over Marlins 3-2

Rookie Nick Kurtz tripled with one out in the ninth inning and scored on a pinch hit by Tyler Soderstrom to lift the Athletics to a 3-2 victory over the Miami Marlins

Picking up rare start Pereda will start at catcher and bat ninth in Thursday's game against the Rangers.

Impact Pereda has been with the Athletics since Opening Day but will be making just his sixth start of the season through the team's first 32 games. The 29-year-old will likely continue to see sporadic playing time so long as top backstop Shea Langeliers is healthy.

Hitless in first start Pereda started at catcher and went 0-for-3 in Sunday's loss to the Mariners.

Impact Pereda won the backup catcher job behind regular starter Shea Langeliers. However, he may not play as much as a regular backup as Tyler Soderstrom could also make some starts at catcher. Pereda has a good arm behind the plate but struggled with the bat last season (.481 OPS in 40 plate appearances in the majors).

Athletics acquire catcher Pereda from Marlins for cash

Catcher Jhonny Pereda was traded to the Athletics from the Miami Marlins for cash

JANUARY 31, 2025 • Associated Press

Lands with A's The Marlins traded Pereda to the Athletics on Thursday in exchange for cash.

Impact Pereda was DFA'd by Miami on Tuesday, but his move to the A's will ensure that he remains on a 40-man roster for the 2025 campaign. The 28-year-old backstop managed just a .481 OPS in 40 big-league plate appearances last season, though he slashed .302/.407/.444 with 16 RBI in Triple-A. Kyle McCann was designated for assignment in a corresponding move, improving Pereda's chances at making the Athletics' Opening Day roster as Shea Langeliers' backup.

Removed from 40-man roster The Marlins designated Pereda for assignment Tuesday, Daniel Alvarez-Montes of ElExtraBase.com reports.

Impact The transaction clears a spot on the 40-man roster for waiver claim Connor Gillispie. Pereda, 28, made his major-league debut in 2024, posting a .481 OPS over 20 contests. The catcher could clear waivers and remain in the organization.

Receives promotion The Marlins recalled Pereda from Triple-A Jacksonville on Sunday.

Impact Pereda will provide the Marlins with a third catcher behind Nick Fortes and Ali Sanchez for the final month of the season. Over his 199 plate appearances with Jacksonville in 2024, Pereda has slashed .302/.407/.444 with five home runs.

SEPTEMBER 1, 2024 • ROTOWIRE

Headed to Triple-A The Marlins optioned Pereda to Triple-A Jacksonville on Friday.

Impact With Nick Fortes (quad) returning from the injured list, Pereda will lose his spot on the active roster. Pereda went 3-for-9 with two RBI during his eight-day stint with Miami.

AUGUST 16, 2024 • ROTOWIRE

Collects first big-league hits Pereda went 2-for-4 with an RBI in Thursday's extra-inning loss to the Reds.

Impact Called up Wednesday when Nick Fortes (quad) landed on the IL, Pereda made his first start behind the plate and banged out his first career big-league hits and RBI. The 28-year-old minor-league journeyman will split work with Ali Sanchez while Fortes is sidelined, and Pereda's .310/.418/.458 slash line for Triple-A Jacksonville this season at least offers some hope that he might be able to contribute at the plate.

Summoned from Triple-A The Marlins recalled Pereda from Triple-A Jacksonville on Wednesday.

Impact Pereda will move up to the big leagues for the third time this season and will likely serve as the understudy to Ali Sanchez, who is expected to take over as the Marlins' No. 1 catcher after Nick Fortes (quadricep) was placed on the 10-day injured list in a corresponding move. During his previous stints with the Marlins, Sanchez appeared in just five games and went hitless in five at-bats. He's been productive in a part-time role at Jacksonville this season, slashing .310/.418/.458 over 184 plate appearances.

AUGUST 7, 2024 • ROTOWIRE

Optioned to Triple-A The Marlins optioned Pereda to Triple-A Jacksonville on Wednesday, Christina De Nicola of MLB.com reports.

Impact Pereda served as Nick Fortes' backup while Christian Bethancourt (illness) was sidelined, but he's no longer needed with Bethancourt back in tow. The 28-year-old went hitless in five plate appearances in what was his first stint in the big leagues.
