Professional career
Washington Nationals
Pérez participated in the 2010 All-Star Futures Game.[1] After the 2011 season, the Nationals added Pérez to their 40-man roster to protect him from the Rule 5 draft.[2] He is regarded as a speedy outfielder with limited power and emerging hitting ability. In 2012, he broke out with the bat across multiple minor league levels, batting .314. His speed is also well discussed, as he stole 64 bases for Hagerstown in 2010 and 54 in 2012 for GCL, Harrisburg, Syracuse, and Washington.
Pérez was brought up by the Nationals from the Triple-A Syracuse Chiefs on May 11, 2013 when Jayson Werth was placed on the disabled list.[3]
On September 18, 2014, Pérez was designated for assignment by the Nationals.[4]
New York Yankees
On September 22, 2014 Pérez was claimed off waivers by the New York Yankees.[5] On January 16, 2015, the Yankees designated Pérez for assignment.[6]
Atlanta Braves
On January 23, 2015, the Atlanta Braves claimed Pérez off waivers from the Yankees.[7] He was invited to spring training, and optioned to Triple–A Gwinnett on March 27.[8] He was recalled to the major league club on June 18.[9]
