Making case for everyday role
Pereira will start at designated hitter and bat cleanup in Sunday's game against the Athletics.
Analyse
Pereira pushed his OPS on the season up to .969 after doubling twice and drawing a walk Saturday. The 25-year-old has now started five of six games since being activated from the injured list Tuesday.

Goes deep again
Pereira went 2-for-3 with a solo home run and a walk Thursday against the Rays.
Analyse
Pereira started in right field for the second time in three games since returning from the injured list. He managed his second home run in that span with a solo shot in the eighth inning, his third of the campaign. Pereira has performed well in a small sample to begin the 2026 season, though he's struck out at a 36 percent clip across 25 plate appearances.

Smacks three-run homer in return
Pereira went 1-for-4 with a three-run homer and two strikeouts during the White Sox's 8-5 loss to the Rays on Tuesday.
Analyse
Pereira was activated from the 10-day injured list prior to Tuesday's game after recovering from an ankle sprain. He struck out in his first at-bat in the first, but he emphatically put the White Sox on the board in the third, when he took the first pitch he saw from Shane McClanahan deep to left-center field for a three-run shot. Pereira saw regular playing time in the outfield prior to his stint on the injured list and should continue to do so, at least for as long as Austin Hays (hamstring) is on the 10-day IL.

Back from IL
The White Sox reinstated Pereira (ankle) from the 10-day injured list Tuesday.
Analyse
The 25-year-old outfielder landed on the shelf in early April due to an ankle sprain, but he's ready to rejoin the White Sox after going 1-for-4 with a walk and a solo homer during his lone rehab game with Triple-A Charlotte. Pereira had a solid start to the campaign, going 4-for-16 with a homer and a double through five games, and should reclaim his role in the short side of an outfield platoon. He's batting cleanup and starting in right field Tuesday against Tampa Bay southpaw Shane McClanahan.
