The Yankees were 9 ¹/₂ games out of an AL wild-card spot when they recalled Pereira on Tuesday before their series opener against the Nationals, but the highly touted prospect was confident in saying that he believes he can help.dropping them to 10 games back. “Now that I’m here, it’s the same mindset. Try to do everything I can to help this team win.”
