The Cardinals have claimed outfielder Everson Pereira off waivers from the White Sox, who designated him for assignment after acquiring Joey Bart. At 25, Pereira, a former Yankees prospect, has shown power in the minors but struggles with strikeouts in the majors, posting a .172/.246/.290 line in 264 plate appearances. With the Cardinals needing outfield depth after trading Lars Nootbaar, Pereira will require an active roster spot as he is out of options. If he performs well, he can be controlled for five more seasons.
