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 recalled Pereda from Triple-A Las Vegas on Friday.
EDGE Analysis
With Shea Langeliers (oblique) headed for the injured list, the A's will call upon Pereda to replenish the big club's depth behind the plate. The 29-year-old backstop has gone just 6-for-36 in the majors this season and will presumably work as a temporary backup to Willie MacIver.

The Athletics optioned Pereda to Triple-A Las Vegas on Friday, Martin Gallegos of MLB.com reports.
EDGE Analysis
The Athletics are swapping out Pereda for Willie MacIver as the backup to Shea Langeliers. Pereda received 42 plate appearances this season and slashed .167/.286/.194 with one extra-base hit, two RBI, two runs scored and a 6:13 BB:K. MacIver brings a little more thump with the bat.

Pereda will start at catcher and bat ninth in Thursday's game against the Rangers.
EDGE Analysis
Pereda has been with the Athletics since Opening Day but will be making just his sixth start of the season through the team's first 32 games. The 29-year-old will likely continue to see sporadic playing time so long as top backstop Shea Langeliers is healthy.

Pereda started at catcher and went 0-for-3 in Sunday's loss to the Mariners.
EDGE Analysis
Pereda won the backup catcher job behind regular starter Shea Langeliers. However, he may not play as much as a regular backup as Tyler Soderstrom could also make some starts at catcher. Pereda has a good arm behind the plate but struggled with the bat last season (.481 OPS in 40 plate appearances in the majors).

The Marlins traded Pereda to the Athletics on Thursday in exchange for cash.
EDGE Analysis
Pereda was DFA'd by Miami on Tuesday, but his move to the A's will ensure that he remains on a 40-man roster for the 2025 campaign. The 28-year-old backstop managed just a .481 OPS in 40 big-league plate appearances last season, though he slashed .302/.407/.444 with 16 RBI in Triple-A. Kyle McCann was designated for assignment in a corresponding move, improving Pereda's chances at making the Athletics' Opening Day roster as Shea Langeliers' backup.
