Rays To Promote Michael Perez
6 years agoThe Tampa Bay Rays will call up catcher Michael Perez to join the team on Thursday. Adam Moore will be designated for assignment in a corresponding move. The Rays just acquired Perez in a trade that sent pitcher Matt Andriese to Arizona on Wednesday. Perez wasn't even on Arizona's list of top-30 prospects per MLB.com, but he was hitting .284 with six home runs and 29 RBI in 58 games for Triple-A Reno. He'll back up Jesus Sucre for now with Wilson Ramos on the disabled list. Perez could see more time later this year if the Rays trade Ramos, too. Keep an eye on him in dynasty/keeper leagues.
