Cardinals' Everson Pereira: Goes to St. Louis via waivers
Rotowire
The Cardinals claimed Pereira off waivers from the White Sox on Thursday.
He's out of minor-league options, so Pereira will report directly to the big club. Pereira has slashed .225/.284/.438 with four home runs and a 5:30 BB:K across 88 plate appearances in the big leagues this season. The 25-year-old is sporting a .790 OPS against left-handed pitching and could slot into a short-side platoon role in center field with Nathan Church.

White Sox's Everson Pereira: DFA'd by White Sox
Rotowire
The White Sox designated Pereira for assignment Monday.
The transaction clears space on the 40-man roster for the addition of Joey Bart. Pereira slashed .225/.284/.438 with four home runs and a 5:30 BB:K across 88 plate appearances for the White Sox this season. The 25-year-old had been filling the short side of a platoon in the outfield, but he became expendable after the White Sox acquired another right-handed-hitting outfielder (Brenton Doyle) earlier Monday.

White Sox's Everson Pereira: Season-high four RBI on Sunday
Rotowire
Pereira went 2-for-4 with a home run, a double and four RBI in Sunday's 9-1 win over the Rays.
Pereira established a season high in RBI on Sunday, registering his first RBI altogether since April 25 against the Nationals. The 25-year-old outfielder has struggled to carve out a significant role during an injury-filled first season with the White Sox, batting .225 with four homers, five doubles and 11 RBI over 80 at-bats, but Pereira could see more action until Braden Montgomery is healed from a skin infection on his right ankle.

White Sox's Everson Pereira: Makes return from IL
Rotowire
The White Sox reinstated Pereira (concussion) from the 7-day injured list Monday.
Pereira will settle back in as a fourth or fifth outfielder for the White Sox, with Chicago optioning Junior Perez to Triple-A Charlotte in a corresponding roster move. Though Pereira has spent time on the shelf this season due to a left ankle sprain, a right pectoral strain and a concussion, he's been an adequate performer when he's been available, slashing .232/.299/.420 with three home runs and one stolen base over 77 plate appearances. Now healthy again, the right-handed-hitting Pereira will likely see most of his opportunities against left-handed pitching.

White Sox's Everson Pereira: Embarking on rehab assignment
Rotowire
Pereira (concussion) will begin a rehab assignment with Triple-A Charlotte on Saturday, LaMond Pope of the Chicago Tribune reports.
Pereira is in the midst of his second stint of the season on the injured list, this time as the result of a concussion after he previously missed about six weeks due to a right pectoral strain. After being deactivated June 18, Pereira made good progress in his recovery over the All-Star break and has advanced far enough in concussion protocol to test himself in a game setting. Once he's reinstated from the 7-day IL, Pereira will likely fill a short-side platoon role in the Chicago outfield.

White Sox's Everson Pereira: Out with concussion
Rotowire
The White Sox placed Pereira on the 7-day concussion injured list Thursday.
Pereira made a terrific leaping grab in Wednesday's game versus the Yankees to rob Ben Rice of extra bases, but he collided with the wall on the play and is now out with a concussion. He was playing in just his third game since returning from a six-plus week absence with a pectoral strain. As is the case with any concussion, Pereira faces an uncertain return timetable.

White Sox's Everson Pereira: Activated from injured list
Rotowire
The White Sox activated Pereira (pectoral) from the 10-day injured list Thursday.
Pereira has been shelved since late April with a right pectoral strain but has been cleared to return after going 5-for-14 with a pair of home runs in four rehab games with Triple-A Charlotte. The right-handed-swinging Pereira should play a decent amount in the Chicago outfield, especially versus left-handed pitching.
White Sox's Everson Pereira: Kicking off rehab assignment
Rotowire
Pereira (pectoral) will begin a rehab assignment with Triple-A Charlotte on Friday, Scott Merkin of MLB.com reports.
Pereira hasn't played since April 28 due to a strained right pectoral, but he recently began throwing again and is now cleared for game action. The 25-year-old slashed .250/.310/.453 with three homers, seven RBI, seven runs scored, one stolen base and a 4:21 BB:K across his first 71 pate appearances this season.
It's been almost exactly one month since Pereira landed on the injured list, and he has made some progress. However, it was also noted that Pereira still needs to build up additional arm strength prior to his return, so an exact timeline for his return remains unclear.
White Sox's Everson Pereira: Hits shelf with pec strain
Rotowire
The White Sox placed Pereira on the 10-day injured list Wednesday due to a right pectoral strain.
Pereira was labeled day-to-day after he exited Tuesday's 5-2 win over the Angels due to an injury that the White Sox initially referred to as a sore right shoulder, but follow-up tests revealed the pec strain. The White Sox are still in the process of evaluating Pereira and haven't offered up a clear timeline for his return, but he'll be out for at least the next week and a half after hitting the IL for the second time this season. The White Sox called up Jarred Kelenic from Triple-A Charlotte in a corresponding move to replenish their depth in the outfield, but Austin Hays could end up serving as Pereira's primary replacement in the starting nine.

White Sox's Everson Pereira: Sitting due to shoulder injury
Rotowire
Pereira (shoulder) is out of the lineup for Wednesday's game against the Angels.
The White Sox are listing Pereira as day-to-day after he was pulled from Tuesday's 5-2 win due to a sore right shoulder, which he appeared to tweak on a swing in the fourth inning. Austin Hays replaced Pereira in right field Tuesday and will stick in the starting nine at designated hitter in Wednesday's series finale. With an off day on tap Thursday, the White Sox are hopeful that Pereira will be ready to move past the shoulder injury and return to the lineup during this weekend's series in San Diego.

White Sox's Everson Pereira: Pulled with shoulder soreness
Rotowire
Pereira was removed from Tuesday's game against the Angels with right shoulder soreness.
The White Sox are viewing Pereira as day-to-day, which suggests that he isn't dealing with anything serious and may not need to miss many starts, if any. If the team decides to sit him down for a game or two, Austin Hays would likely be the next man up to start in right field.
White Sox's Luisangel Acuna: Not in Saturday's lineup
Rotowire
