Yankees Prospect Everson Pereira Out for Season After Elbow Surgery
The 23-year-old outfielder will undergo an internal brace procedure, similar to teammate Jasson Domínguez's surgery last year.
- Pereira played through the injury for weeks before discovering a tear in his ulnar collateral ligament.
- The Yankees' No. 5 prospect was performing well in Triple-A with a .265 average and 10 home runs.
- Pereira is expected to begin baseball activities next spring, aiming for a full recovery.
- His injury impacts the Yankees' trade options as he was considered a potential trade chip.
- Jasson Domínguez, who had the same surgery, has recently returned to Triple-A after completing his rehab.
