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.

OFChicago White Sox

June 20, 2026

Perez went 2-for-3 with a solo home run during Friday's loss to the Tigers.

Analysis
It took just two games for Perez to go deep for the first time in his big-league career, and it came against none other than back-to-back Cy Young Award winner Tarik Skubal. The 24-year-old Perez is up with the big club to serve as depth with Austin Hays (calf) and Everson Pereira (concussion) both on the injured list and will likely return to the minors once Chicago's outfield unit starts to return to full health.
