Tampa Bay Rays catcher Michael Perez had the best offensive game of his major league career Friday versus Boston. He would drive in a total of four runs in the span of two innings during the game. The four RBI equaled his career total coming into the game. He is a rookie this season who has been up in the majors for just under a month. His big break came after the Rays traded away former starting catcher Wilson Ramos and has made Jesus Sucre into a backup. Perez could have some value in longer-term leagues that are deep enough.

Tampa Bay Rays catcher Michael Perez will start his second game in as many days since being acquired from the Arizona Diamondbacks Wednesday. It would appear that Perez has immediately become the Rays first-choice catcher, at least until Wilson Ramos returns from injury. At Triple-A for the Diamondbacks, Perez had six home runs and a .284 batting average. In two-catcher formats Perez makes for an interesting deeper addition, especially if you need some short term cover until Ramos returns from the disabled list.

Tampa Bay Rays catcher Michael Perez has been through a lot in the last couple of days. He was catching in Triple A for the D-Backs before being traded to the Rays. Perez is now on the Rays 25-man roster and collected his first MLB hit on Thursday. Wilson Ramos (hamstring) is still sidelined, so Perez and Jesus Sucre are the two catchers in Tampa right now. It's likely that Perez will see a bulk of the starts since he is young and the Rays want to see what they got out of the trade. Sucre is more of a backup type catcher, so there is a good chance Perez continues to see regular playing time until Ramos returns. Perez should be worth a look in AL-only leagues and possibly more if he continues to hit and draw starts behind the plate.

Perez will be called up by the Rays prior to Thursday's game against the Orioles, Marc Topkin of the Tampa Bay Times reports.

The Tampa Bay Rays will call up catcher Michael Perez to join the team on Thursday. Adam Moore will be designated for assignment in a corresponding move. The Rays just acquired Perez in a trade that sent pitcher Matt Andriese to Arizona on Wednesday. Perez wasn't even on Arizona's list of top-30 prospects per MLB.com, but he was hitting .284 with six home runs and 29 RBI in 58 games for Triple-A Reno. He'll back up Jesus Sucre for now with Wilson Ramos on the disabled list. Perez could see more time later this year if the Rays trade Ramos, too. Keep an eye on him in dynasty/keeper leagues.

Perez agreed to a minor-league contract with the Diamondbacks, Matt Eddy of Baseball America reports.
