Tommy John

Typically associated with pitchers, Tommy John surgery has now impacted outfield prospects for the New York Yankees in an unexpected turn of events.

Following Jason Dominguez’s UCL injury and subsequent surgery at the close of the 2023 season, another promising outfielder, Everson Pereira, is now slated for Tommy John surgery, prematurely concluding his 2024 campaign, as reported by Andy Martino of SNY.

Pereira’s Decreased Trade Potential and the Yankees’ Strategy
Once regarded as a top prospect for the Yankees, Pereira’s recent injury, coupled with inconsistency in the minor leagues, has considerably diminished his market value. This setback is especially significant given his potential as a valuable trade asset this season. In 2024, Pereira appeared in 40 games, boasting a .265/.346/.512 batting line, tallying 10 home runs, 27 RBIs, alongside a high strikeout rate of 32.4%, an 8.8% walk rate, and a 118 wRC+.

Pereira’s propensity for strikeouts has been a persistent concern, notably evident in his 27-game stint with the Yankees last year, where he struggled with a mere .151 batting average and .233 on-base percentage, accompanied by a 38.8% strikeout rate. While this limited sample size doesn’t solely define his potential, there’s growing apprehension regarding his ability to consistently make contact at higher levels, despite impressive showings in the minors.

As the trade deadline looms, the Yankees are anticipated to take proactive measures. However, with Pereira’s declining appeal, the team will need to rely on other emerging prospects to fortify their Major League roster.
