Career
[edit]Pereira signed with the New York Yankees as an international free agent on July 2, 2017 for a $1.5 million signing bonus.[1] He played at the Rookie-level in 2018 and missed most of the 2019 season, playing in 18 games due to injuries to his foot and hamstring. He did not play in a game in 2020 due to the cancellation of the minor league season because of the COVID-19 pandemic.[2]
On November 19, 2021, the Yankees added Pereira to their 40-man roster to protect him from the Rule 5 draft.[3] Pereira spent the 2022 season split between the High-A Hudson Valley Renegades and the Double-A Somerset Patriots, logging a combined .277/.350/.469 slash with 14 home runs, 56 RBI, and 21 stolen bases across 102 games.
Pereira began the 2023 season with Somerset.[4] In July, the Yankees promoted Pereira to the Triple-A Scranton/Wilkes-Barre RailRiders.[5] In 81 games between the two affiliates, he batted .300/.373/.548 with 18 home runs, 64 RBI, and 11 stolen bases.[6] On August 22, 2023, the Yankees promoted Pereira to the major leagues for the first time, and he made his major league debut that day.[7] In 27 games during his rookie campaign, he hit .151/.233/.194 with no home runs, 10 RBI, and 4 stolen bases.
Pereira was optioned to Triple–A Scranton to begin the 2024 season.[8] In 40 games for Scranton, he batted .265/.346/.512 with 10 home runs, 27 RBI, and 5 stolen bases. On June 14, 2024, it was announced that Pereira would be undergoing season–ending UCL surgery.[9]
