After weeks of waiting for something on this team to change, the Yankees seem to have acquiesced to fans. The YES Network’s Jack Curry is reporting that Everson Pereira and Oswald Peraza will both be called up to the MLB roster ahead of Tuesday’s series opener with the Nationals. MLB.com’s Bryan Hoch confirmed the news as well.
The 22-year-old Pereira has spent time with both Double-A Somerset and Triple-A Scranton this year, and has exploded since his promotion to the RailRiders. Slashing .312/.386/.551 in 158 plate appearances, he’s cut his strikeout rate down from his mark with the Patriots and should give the Yankees something new to try out in the outfield.
