The Marlins selected Pereda's contract from Triple-A Jacksonville on Monday, Christina De Nicola of MLB.com reports.
Pereda will back up Nick Fortes at catcher while Christian Bethancourt (illness) is out. The 27-year-old has gone 9-for-26 at the plate for Jacksonville this season and would be making his major-league debut if/when he gets into a game.
