CHICAGO (AP) — The Chicago White Sox acquired outfielder Everson Pereira in a multiplayer trade with the Tampa Bay Rays on Tuesday.

The White Sox sent right-handers Yoendrys Gómez and Steven Wilson to the Rays for Pereira and minor league infielder Tanner Murray.

The 24-year-old Pereira was once considered one of baseball’s top prospects. He hit .300 with 18 homers and 64 RBIs over two minor league stops in 2023.

But Pereira hasn’t been able to find any success in the majors. He played in 27 games with the Yankees in 2023, batting .151 (14 for 93) with no homers and 10 RBIs. He was traded to Tampa Bay on July 31 for infielder José Caballero.

Pereira, who had right elbow surgery on June 4, 2024, hit .138 (9 for 65) with two homers and eight RBIs in 23 games with the Rays this season.
