The White Sox put outfielder Everson Pereira on the seven-day injured list with a concussion suffered on an incredible play Wednesday when he made a running, leaping catch and crashed into the wall in center field. The Sox called up outfielder Junior Pérez from Triple-A Charlotte.
Pereira lay on the field woozy after hitting his head on the wall, but he walked off the field, albeit slowly. He was feeling better and in good spirits in the clubhouse after the game while awaiting a concussion test. He said the rest of his body felt fine.
Pereira had returned from the injured list one week ago after recovering from a strained right pectoral that sidelined him for more than six weeks. He also missed time earlier this season with a sprained left ankle.
Manager Will Venable had been working to incorporate Pereira into what has become a crowded outfield, even against right-handed pitching. Venable started Pereira in center Wednesday against Yankees lefty Carlos Rodon instead of the left-handed-hitting Tristan Peters, who has taken over center field.
“But he’s such a talented guy, such a good hitter, such a good defender, he’ll have enough opportunities against right-handed pitching, as well,” Venable said before the game.
Perez was slashing .230/.326/.432 with five doubles, two triples, two home runs and seven RBI in 20 games at Charlotte this season. He played 36 games for Triple-A Las Vegas in the Athletics’ system before the Sox acquired him May 16 for left-hander Jackson Nove.
Pereira was hitting .232/.299/.420 with four doubles, three home runs and seven RBI in 21 games with the Sox.
Away from home, the Sox are 14-22 with a minus-35 run differential after their 10-5 loss to the Yankees on Wednesday. Some of their worst losses of the season have come on the road.

It’s not enough to say the Yankees have had the White Sox’ number in recent years. They’ve had all the Sox’ numbers, letters, symbols and any other markings you can think of.

The play should be concerning for the Sox because it has happened before and probably will happen again. That’s just the nature of the situation.

NEW YORK — Anthony Kay grew up on Long Island as a devout Yankees fan. His father often would take him and his brother on the hour-and-a-half drive from their home in East Setauket to the old Yankee Stadium.
