2026 Fantasy Outlook
Perez is incredibly toolsy, and for the first time in his career, he looked like he might hit enough to make it as a big-league regular while taking his first tour of the Pacific Coast League. He was obviously playing in cozy ballparks at altitude, but Perez had a career-low swing rate (38.7 percent), a career-best contact rate (73.5 percent) and by far a career-best swinging-strike rate (10.3 percent) while facing Triple-A pitching for the first time. He slashed .298/.412/.642 with 12 home runs and 11 steals in 42 PCL games, good for a 143 wRC+. The righty-hitting outfielder was added to the 40-man roster on the strength of that Triple-A showing, as Perez's 101 wRC+ as a 23-year-old at Double-A was unremarkable. He's behind Colby Thomas on the organizational depth chart as righty-hitting bench outfielder, but Perez brings plus defense and a plus arm to the table, so he'll find a way to play eventually if he keeps destroying Triple-A pitching. Read Past Outlooks
Signed a one-year contract with the Athletics in March of 2026. Traded to the White Sox in May of 2026.
Recalled to big leagues
The White Sox recalled Perez from Triple-A Charlotte on Thursday.
Analysis
He'll grab the roster spot vacated by the injured Everson Pereira (concussion) and could work his way into the outfield rotation on the south side of Chicago. Acquired from the Athletics last month in a trade, Perez has slashed .217/.292/.401 with seven home runs, nine stolen bases and a 23:84 BB:K over 56 games at the Triple-A level in 2026. The 24-year-old has loud tools but also major contact issues, so it could be a tough immediate transition to facing big-league pitching.
