The White Sox reassigned Perez to minor-league camp Monday.
EDGE Analysis
Though he was outrighted off the 40-man roster in January, Perez still received an invite to big-league camp as a non-roster invitee. Perez ultimately fell short in his battle for a spot on the White Sox's Opening Day squad, with all of Martin Maldonado, Max Stassi and Korey Lee clearly ahead of him in the pecking order at catcher.

The White Sox sent Perez outright to Triple-A Charlotte on Thursday, Vinnie Duber of AllCHGO.com reports.
EDGE Analysis
After being DFA'd off the 40-man roster Saturday, Perez will officially remain in the White Sox's minor-league system to begin 2024. Perez has slashed just .209/.254/.343 across 71 career MLB plate appearances, but Chicago's weak catcher room leaves a slim chance for Perez to contribute in the majors at some point in the summer.

The White Sox designated Perez for assignment Saturday.
EDGE Analysis
Perez's odds of making Chicago's Opening Day roster were already low following the addition of Martin Maldonado, and he'll officially be pushed off the 40-man to clear a spot for Chris Flexen. Perez will now serve as organizational depth at Triple-A Charlotte, where he slashed .240/.295/.408 with 34 RBI across 312 plate appearances last season.

Perez was recalled from Triple-A Charlotte on Sunday.

The 26-year-old will join the major-league roster with Seby Zavala (oblique) landing on the injured list. Perez should operate as Chicago's backup catcher with Yasmani Grandal handling the bulk of the work.

Perez was optioned to Triple-A Charlotte on Monday, per the MLB's transactions log.
EDGE Analysis
Perez was promoted to the big leagues at the beginning of July and wasn't able to get much going at the dish. He went 1-for-11 with a double and an RBI, and he'll now head to the minors where he'll have a better chance to see consistent at-bats. The White Sox have yet to announce a corresponding move.

The White Sox recalled Perez from Triple-A Charlotte on Friday.
EDGE Analysis
Perez was optioned to Charlotte after a brief stint with the White Sox in mid-May, and he's slashed .224/.292/.336 in the minors since then. Perez likely won't get much playing time in the majors behind Yasmani Grandal and Seby Zavala, though he can also play first base in a pinch. Adam Haseley was optioned to Triple-A in a corresponding move.

The White Sox recalled Perez from Triple-A Charlotte on Sunday.
EDGE Analysis
He'll join the White Sox as a replacement on the 26-man active roster for outfielder/designated hitter Eloy Jimenez, who was placed on the 10-day injured list after undergoing an appendectomy Saturday. Though Jimenez's absence opens up a spot in the everyday lineup, Perez's call-up looks to be mainly the result of the White Sox desiring another healthy body at catcher while Yasmani Grandal manages a minor back issue, according to Daryl Van Schouwen of the Chicago Sun-Times. Grandal is expected to replace Jimenez as Chicago's primary DH in the short term, while Perez will likely serve as an extra option at catcher behind Seby Zavala.
