The Twins designated Pereda for assignment Friday, Aaron Gleeman of The Athletic reports.

EDGE Analysis

The 29-year-old backstop will be replaced on Minnesota's 40-man roster by Victor Caratini, whose signing became official Friday. Pereda slashed .246/.325/.333 in 2025 across 78 MLB plate appearances split between the Athletics and Twins. However, he finished the minor-league season with an .887 OPS across 192 plate appearances at Triple-A, which could be enough for another team to pick him up off waivers.

The Twins optioned Pereda to their spring training complex Tuesday.

EDGE Analysis

With Ryan Jeffers back from his stay on the 7-day IL due to a concussion, Pereda loses his spot on the 26-man roster. Pereda has appeared in 11 games for the Twins this season, slashing .345/.387/.483 with four doubles, one RBI, one run scored and a 2:8 BB:K across 32 plate appearances.

Pereda isn't in the lineup for the second game of Saturday's doubleheader against the Guardians.

EDGE Analysis

Pereda will stay put in the dugout to begin Saturday's nightcap after going 0-for-3 with a strikeout in Game 1. Mickey Gasper will replace him as Minnesota's backstop and bat eighth.

Pereda will start at catcher and bat eighth in Monday's game against the Yankees.

EDGE Analysis

With Ryan Jeffers (concussion) recently joining Christian Vazquez (shoulder) on the injured list, Pereda and Mickey Gasper are left standing as the Twins' lone healthy catchers. Pereda appears to have tentatively emerged as the preferred option of the two, as he'll be drawing his third start in four games Monday. Since being called up from Triple-A St. Paul on Sept. 5, Pereda has gone 6-for-15 with two doubles, two walks and one RBI over six games.

The Twins recalled Pereda from Triple-A St. Paul on Friday, Phil Miller of The Minnesota Star Tribune reports.

EDGE Analysis

Pereda joins the active roster for the first time since being optioned Aug. 12, replacing DaShawn Keirsey. Pereda will provide some catching depth behind Ryan Jeffers (head), who was removed from Thursday's game after taking a foul tip to the mask. If Jeffers is forced to miss time, Pereda and Mickey Gasper would handle catcher duties.

Pereda was optioned to Triple-A St. Paul on Tuesday.

EDGE Analysis

Pereda got called up Friday to fill Christian Vazquez's (shoulder) spot on the 26-man roster after Vazquez was placed on the injured list. However, Pereda will return to St. Paul now that Matt Wallner is off the paternity list. Pereda didn't appear in a game during this MLB stint.

The Twins recalled Pereda from Triple-A St. Paul on Friday.

EDGE Analysis

Pereda will step in for Christian Vazquez (shoulder), who was placed on the 10-day injured list Friday, to provide catching depth behind Ryan Jeffers. Since being claimed off waivers July 22, Pereda has gone 7-for-21 (.333) with a homer, two doubles and a triple for St. Paul.

The Twins claimed Pereda off waivers from the Athletics on Tuesday and optioned him to Triple-A St. Paul, Dan Hayes of The Athletic reports.

EDGE Analysis

The Twins are swapping out one catcher (Jair Camargo) for another on their 40-man roster. Pereda has slashed just .175/.283/.225 during his brief time in the majors this season but has collected an .840 OPS in 2025 at the Triple-A level.

The Athletics DFA'd Pereda on Saturday, Jason Burke of SI.com reports.

EDGE Analysis

Pereda has appeared in 19 games for the Athletics this season, slashing .175/.283/.225 with no homers and three RBI over 46 plate appearances. He's fared better in the minors with an .840 OPS with Triple-A Las Vegas, but the A's needed to clear a 40-man roster spot for pitcher Ken Waldichuk (elbow), who was activated off the 60-day IL and optioned to Las Vegas in a corresponding move.

The Athletics optioned Pereda to Triple-A Las Vegas on Monday.

EDGE Analysis

Pereda is clearing out to make room for Austin Wynns, who was officially added to the active roster Monday. Willie MacIver will share catching duties with Wynns.
