2024 Fantasy Outlook
Pereira had an excellent age-22 season in the upper levels of the minors, slashing .300/.373/.548 with 18 home runs, 11 steals and a strong 32.7 percent hard-hit rate in 81 games. He will always run high strikeout rates (28.6 K% in the minors last year), but Pereira has also done extreme damage at every minor-league stop while being young for the levels, with wRC+ ranging from 119 to 194 in full-season ball since 2021. However, he was dreadful (.151 average, 38.8 K%) in 103 MLB plate appearances down the stretch, and the Yankees didn't hesitate to firmly block him for 2024 with the acquisitions of Juan Soto and Alex Verdugo. Pereira is a hard worker who will probably put up big numbers in a return to Triple-A, so this offseason could be a nice buy-low opportunity in dynasty leagues. Long term, Pereira has the tools to go 30/15 with a subpar batting average and solid on-base percentage. Read Past Outlooks

Needs internal brace surgery
OFNew York Yankees  AAA
Elbow
June 14, 2024
Pereira is set to undergo a season-ending internal brace surgery on his right elbow in the coming days, Andy Martino of SNY.tv reports.
ANALYSIS
Pereira had already been placed on Triple-A Scranton/Wilkes-Barre's full-season minor-league injured list, so it comes as little surprise that he'll be in line for major surgery. The rehab from an internal brace procedure is shorter than a full Tommy John surgery, especially for position players, but Pereira still seems likely to get a late start to next season. The 23-year-old slashed .265/.346/.512 with 10 home runs and five stolen bases over 40 games with Scranton/Wilkes-Barre in 2024.

Past Fantasy Outlooks
2023
2022
2019
Pereira made his pro debut back in 2018 as a 17-year-old in the extinct Appalachian League, which was a rarity back then, and he played just 67 games from 2019 through 2021. This past season accounts for half of Pereira's pro data, and he was quite productive, slashing .277/.350/.469 with 14 home runs, 21 steals, a 27.4 K% and a 9.7 BB% in 102 games across High-A and Double-A. He was particularly productive over the final few months, slashing .310/.364/.595 with 12 home runs and nine steals over his final 52 games. Pereira's homer total was shy of the 20 he hit in 49 games in 2021, but he still boasts monster raw power to go with above-average speed. Already on the 40-man roster, Pereira could return to Double-A before spending the bulk of the year at Triple-A. It seems like there should be enough impact here for Pereira to profile as a 30-homer corner outfielder who also chips in steals early in his career.
A hard-hit data darling, Pereira had a massive breakout across three levels last season, and while his hit tool still bears monitoring, the quality of contact strongly supports his production. A seven-figure international signee from the 2017 J-2 class, Pereira hit .303/.398/.681 with a 47.5 Hard%, which is elite for any minor leaguer, but especially for a 20-year-old making his full-season debut. He hit 20 home runs in 49 games between the Florida Complex League, Low-A and High-A, and his 14 home runs and 29.9 K% in 27 games at High-A is particularly noteworthy, as that was the first time he was at an age-appropriate level. While he was utilizing a pull-heavy approach, his groundball rate was below 38% at each stop, so he could make that approach work. He had nine steals on 12 attempts, but figures to be more of a three-true outcome masher than a four- or five-category contributor. Pereira turns 21 in April and was added to the 40-man roster this offseason. He will get a significant test when he gets assigned to Double-A this season.
Two of the top hitters from the 2017 J-2 signing class were sent directly to the Appalachian League, skipping the Dominican Summer League and Gulf Coast League altogether. One was the Rays' Wander Franco, who is now a top-five prospect in baseball. The other was Pereira, who performed how we should expect a 17-year-old to perform in his first pro assignment to a league where he was over three years younger than the average player. He struck out too much (32.8 K%) and did not do much damage when he did connect (.126 ISO, .389 SLG). It is important to remember why he was given this assignment. The Yankees believed Pereira would not be properly challenged in the DSL or GCL. He was only 12 percent worse than the average Appy League hitter, which is nothing to be ashamed of, given his age. Pereira still has plus speed and a promising future in center field. If his hit tool and plus raw power develop like the Yankees expect, he could be the breakout prospect of 2019.

August 18, 2023
Yankees manager Aaron Boone indicated Friday that Pereira could be called up soon, per Chris Kirschner of The Athletic.
ANALYSIS
Pereira is already on the 40-man roster, so it wouldn't take much organizational maneuvering to bring him to New York. The 22-year-old outfielder has posted an impressive .298/.362/.532 slash line with 16 home runs, 62 RBI, eight stolen bases and 47 runs scored in 78 games this summer between Double-A Somerset and Triple-A Scranton/Wilkes-Barre.
