    Pereira was placed on the full-season minor-league injured list Tuesday, Conor Foley of YES Network reports.

    Advice: The nature of the injury is unclear, but it's a major setback for Pereira regardless. He made his big-league debut in 2023 but failed to break camp with the Yankees.

  • Suzuki swipes fifth base in loss Thursday
    Seiya Suzuki went 0-for-3 with a walk and a stolen base on Thursday.

    Advice: Suzuki missed a couple of games last week with tightness in his side, but seemed to be feeling better in this one as evidenced by the stolen base.

  • Everson Pereira to miss remainder of ’24 season
    Everson Pereira will miss the remainder of the season with an undisclosed injury.

    Advice: There should be some clarity on his status in the coming days, but Pereira hasn’t played since May 19 for Triple-A Scranton/Wilkes-Barre and has now been placed on the full-season injured list. The 23-year-old made his big-league debut last season when he got into 27 games for New York. Rotoworld Yesterday, 5:33 pm
     
  • Rays officially release outfielder Harold Ramírez
    Rays released OF Harold Ramírez.

    Advice: Ramírez went unclaimed on waivers with no club willing to pick up the remaining portion of his $3.8 million salary for this season and is now officially a free agent. The 29-year-old outfielder was jettisoned from Tampa Bay’s 40-man roster last week after posting a lackluster .589 OPS with one homer and five steals through 48 contests. He shouldn’t have too much trouble latching on elsewhere. Rotoworld Yesterday, 4:42 pm
     
  • Alek Thomas (hamstring) starts rehab assignment

    Advice: Thomas has been out since early April due to a left hamstring strain and an early-May setback that delayed his return even further. There’s a strong possibility he’s back before the end of June. Rotoworld Yesterday, 4:37 pm
