Roberto Pérez News
Pittsburgh Pirates catcher Roberto Perez (hamstring) has been placed on the 10-day injured list. He was forced to exit early during Saturday's first game of the doubleheader versus the Cincinnati Reds. Perez was unable to put any pressure on his leg, so he could end up missing significant time. Andrew Knapp and Michael Perez should split up the catching duties in Pittsburgh until Perez returns.
Pittsburgh Pirates catcher Roberto Perez left Friday's game against the Washington Nationals with a left quad contusion. Perez took a foul ball off of the leg during the second inning. He was able to finish out the inning but was replaced by pinch-hitter Andrew Knapp in the third. The veteran backstop is unlikely to miss much time at all with the contusion. Perez is hitting .294 with three runs and one RBI across 17 at-bats for the Pirates in 2022.
According to a tweet from ESPN's Jeff Passan, the Pittsburgh Pirates have signed catcher Roberto Perez to a one-year contract. The 32-year-old hit .149 with a .245 on-base percentage, seven home runs, and a stolen bases in 161 plate appearances for Cleveland last season. He gives Pittsburgh a veteran option behind the plate after the team traded last season's starter, Jacob Stallings, to the Miami Marlins. Fellow catcher Michael Perez was designated for assignment and later outrighted to Triple-A by the Pirates earlier in the offseason.
