Yankees Rumors: Everson Pereira, Oswald Peraza Will Be Recalled Amid Losing Streak

The New York Yankees are turning to the youth as they look to snap an eight-game losing streak.

Jack Curry of Yes Network reported that the team had recalled outfielder Everson Pereira and infielder Oswald Peraza from Triple-A Wilkes Barre/Scranton.

Perreira is listed as the team's No. 3 prospect and this call-up will serve as his debut. Peraza has played 52 games across two seasons with the team and was with the club as recently as July 26.

Pereira has split this season between Double-A and Triple-A thus far and is hitting .300 with 18 home runs and 64 RBIs in 81 minor-league contests. This call-up is ahead of schedule as he was projected to make his debut with the club in the 2024 season.

Peraza has had struggles at the Major League level this year as he has hit .173 with six RBIs in 19 games. Still, he has produced 14 home runs, 36 RBI and 15 stolen bases in the minor leagues this season and is still just 23 years old.

The Yankees get the reinforcements at a time they truly need them. The eight-game losing skid has seen the team's playoff chances go down significantly as they now sit at 60-64, dropping New York to nine games outside of the final AL Wild Card spot.

The team's six-year playoff streak is in serious jeopardy and this could be the first season in Aaron Boone's tenure as manager that the team is not playing in the postseason.

Production at the plate has been a huge issue for the team as they rank 29th in MLB in batting average with a team average of .230. This comes despite playing their home games at arguably the most hitter-friendly ballpark in MLB.

It has not been reported if the two will be in the starting lineup for Tuesday's game against the Washington Nationals, but it is likely they will play a factor in the team's final push for the postseason.
