Mariners' Jhonny Pereda: Sitting in second straight game
Rotowire
Pereda is out of the lineup for Wednesday's game against the Orioles.
After making three consecutive starts at catcher, Pereda now finds himself on the bench for the second straight day while the Mariners go with Mitch Garver behind the plate. Pereda has produced a .750 OPS over 14 games since being called up from Triple-A Tacoma on May 14, but his run as Seattle's preferred option at catcher will soon come to an end with Cal Raleigh (oblique) in the midst of a rehab assignment and likely to be activated from the injured list at the beginning of next week.

Mariners' Jhonny Pereda: Smacks first MLB homer
Rotowire
Pereda went 1-for-2 with a solo home run and a walk in Wednesday's 5-4 win over the White Sox.
Making just his sixth start this season, Pereda led off the seventh inning with a 392-foot blast off Sean Newcomb, his first major-league home run, to put the Mariners ahead 3-2. While the 30-year-old Pereda has been used sparingly in the majors, he swung the bat well with Triple-A Tacoma this year, slashing .321/.414/.417 with a pair of homers across 25 games. Pereda should continue to back up Mitch Garver while Cal Raleigh (oblique) is sidelined.

Mariners' Jhonny Pereda: Back to majors
Rotowire
Seattle recalled Pereda from Triple-A Tacoma on Thursday.
Pereda is back with the big-league club after being optioned to Tacoma on Friday. The 30-year-old's quick return is due to Cal Raleigh's (oblique) placement on the IL. Although Pereda recorded just five plate appearances in his first Mariners stint, but he should be in line for more action this time around as he splits time behind the plate with Mitch Garver while Raleigh is sidelined.

Mariners' Jhonny Pereda: Recalled by Seattle
Rotowire
The Mariners recalled Pereda from Triple-A Tacoma on Saturday.
Pereda was unable to crack the Mariners' Opening Day roster but has played well in Triple-A, where he is slashing .333/.418/.436 with two home runs and eight RBI across 91 plate appearances. The move gives the Mariners a third catcher on the 26-man roster, which is notable after Cal Raleigh was scratched from Saturday's lineup against the Royals due to undisclosed reasons.

Reds' Jhonny Pereda: Invited to Reds camp
Rotowire
Pereda signed a minor-league deal with the Reds on Tuesday and received an invitation to spring training.
The 26-year-old backstop spent all of 2022 in the Giants organization at the Triple-A level, where he slashed .272/.371/.379 over 246 plate appearances -- all significant improvements from his 2021 campaign. If he can impress in spring training, Pereda will have an outside chance at making the 26-man roster as a backup catcher, but he would have to beat out Luke Maile and Chuckie Robinson for that to happen.
