Everson Jose Pereira (born April 10, 2001) is a Venezuelan professional baseball outfielder for the New York Yankees of Major League Baseball (MLB). He made his MLB debut in 2023.
Career
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]
