River Ave. Blues ยป Update: Yankees claim Eury Perez, designated Josh Outman

Update: Yankees claim Eury Perez, designated Josh Outman

4:15pm: The Yankees announced that Josh Outman has been designated for assignment to clear a 40-man roster spot for Perez. No idea if he is with the team and available tonight though.

2:26pm: The Yankees have claimed outfielder Eury Perez off waivers from the Nationals, the team announced. No word on the corresponding 40-man roster move yet. They could be dumping a similar (and much older) player in Antoan Richardson or a spare arm like Josh Outman or Rich Hill. We’ll see.

Perez, 24, hit .311/.372/.406 (119 wRC+) with 20 steals in 57 Triple-A games this summer around injury. He has 13 big league plate appearances to his credit, all with the Nats from 2012-13. Baseball America ranked Perez as Washington’s 20th best prospect before the season and said he’ll likely be a speedy defense-first extra outfielder at the MLB level. With Jacoby Ellsbury (hamstring), Carlos Beltran (elbow), and Martin Prado (appendectomy) all hurt, the Yankees simply need a healthy body for the outfield right now.
