White Sox Designate Everson Pereira for Assignment

The Chicago White Sox have designated outfielder Everson Pereira for assignment following the acquisition of catcher Joey Bart. This move was necessary as the team had a full 40-man roster.

Pereira's roster spot was impacted by the active trade deadline, which included the addition of right-handed pitcher Huascar Brazoban. The White Sox also traded for outfielder Brenton Doyle, leading to right-hander Duncan Davitt being designated for assignment before being sent to Atlanta in the Bart trade.

Pereira, who joined the White Sox from the Rays in an offseason trade, has faced multiple injuries this season, including a sprained ankle, a pec strain, and a concussion, limiting him to 27 games. Despite achieving a 98 wRC+ with four home runs in 88 plate appearances, he struggled with a high strikeout rate. Pereira, primarily used in left field, will now go through waivers, where he may attract interest from teams in need of outfielders, although his injury history could deter potential claims.
