Marlins' Jhonny Pereda: Collects first big-league hits
Rotowire
Pereda went 2-for-4 with an RBI in Thursday's extra-inning loss to the Reds.
Called up Wednesday when Nick Fortes (quad) landed on the IL, Pereda made his first start behind the plate and banged out his first career big-league hits and RBI. The 28-year-old minor-league journeyman will split work with Ali Sanchez while Fortes is sidelined, and Pereda's .310/.418/.458 slash line for Triple-A Jacksonville this season at least offers some hope that he might be able to contribute at the plate.

Reds' Jhonny Pereda: Invited to Reds camp
Rotowire
Pereda signed a minor-league deal with the Reds on Tuesday and received an invitation to spring training.
The 26-year-old backstop spent all of 2022 in the Giants organization at the Triple-A level, where he slashed .272/.371/.379 over 246 plate appearances -- all significant improvements from his 2021 campaign. If he can impress in spring training, Pereda will have an outside chance at making the 26-man roster as a backup catcher, but he would have to beat out Luke Maile and Chuckie Robinson for that to happen.
