The White Sox designated Pereira for assignment Monday.
The transaction clears space on the 40-man roster for the addition of Joey Bart. Pereira slashed .225/.284/.438 with four home runs and a 5:30 BB:K across 88 plate appearances for the White Sox this season. The 25-year-old had been filling the short side of a platoon in the outfield, but he became expendable after the White Sox acquired another right-handed-hitting outfielder (Brenton Doyle) earlier Monday.

Rotowire
Pereira went 2-for-4 with a home run, a double and four RBI in Sunday's 9-1 win over the Rays.
Pereira established a season high in RBI on Sunday, registering his first RBI altogether since April 25 against the Nationals. The 25-year-old outfielder has struggled to carve out a significant role during an injury-filled first season with the White Sox, batting .225 with four homers, five doubles and 11 RBI over 80 at-bats, but Pereira could see more action until Braden Montgomery is healed from a skin infection on his right ankle.

White Sox's Everson Pereira: Makes return from IL
Rotowire
The White Sox reinstated Pereira (concussion) from the 7-day injured list Monday.
Pereira will settle back in as a fourth or fifth outfielder for the White Sox, with Chicago optioning Junior Perez to Triple-A Charlotte in a corresponding roster move. Though Pereira has spent time on the shelf this season due to a left ankle sprain, a right pectoral strain and a concussion, he's been an adequate performer when he's been available, slashing .232/.299/.420 with three home runs and one stolen base over 77 plate appearances. Now healthy again, the right-handed-hitting Pereira will likely see most of his opportunities against left-handed pitching.

White Sox's Everson Pereira: Embarking on rehab assignment
Rotowire
Pereira (concussion) will begin a rehab assignment with Triple-A Charlotte on Saturday, LaMond Pope of the Chicago Tribune reports.
Pereira is in the midst of his second stint of the season on the injured list, this time as the result of a concussion after he previously missed about six weeks due to a right pectoral strain. After being deactivated June 18, Pereira made good progress in his recovery over the All-Star break and has advanced far enough in concussion protocol to test himself in a game setting. Once he's reinstated from the 7-day IL, Pereira will likely fill a short-side platoon role in the Chicago outfield.

White Sox's Everson Pereira: Sitting due to shoulder injury
Rotowire
Pereira (shoulder) is out of the lineup for Wednesday's game against the Angels.
The White Sox are listing Pereira as day-to-day after he was pulled from Tuesday's 5-2 win due to a sore right shoulder, which he appeared to tweak on a swing in the fourth inning.

White Sox's Everson Pereira: Back in action Monday
Rotowire
Pereira (oblique) will start in right field and bat second in Monday's Cactus League game against the Rockies.
Pereira will be making his spring debut after he was initially scheduled to play Feb. 20 before being scratched due to right oblique soreness. The outfielder had been able to take part in running and core-strengthening workouts throughout the duration of his absence, but after recently resuming hitting and experiencing no discomfort, he's been given the green light to play in games. Pereira still has a chance to stake his claim to a spot on the White Sox's Opening Day roster, and the fact that he has no minor-league options remaining is a factor that may work in his favor.
