#MNTwins claimed C Jhonny Pereda off from the A's an optioned him to Triple-A. Jair Camargo has been DFA'd to make room on the 40-man roster.
— DanHayesMLB (@DanHayesMLB) July 22, 2025The A’s DFA’d Pereda, 29, on Saturday after he slashed .175/.283/.225 with three RBIs over 46 plate appearances in 19 games for them this season. The Athletics made the move to clear roster space for pitcher Ken Waldichuk, who was activated off the 60-day IL and optioned to Triple-A Las Vegas.
As the trade deadline approaches, the Twins may part ways with catcher Christian Vázquez, who will be a free agent after this season, and call up Pereda.
