Johnny Pereda He was substituted in the game between Leones del Caracas and Cardenales de Lara. The long-haired mask gave up his turn to his colleague Juan Carlos Torres, in the top of the fifth inning in Barquisimeto. After his work in the first innings of the game, he had to leave the commitment as a precaution.
This was reported by the television broadcast of the engagement, due to discomfort in his right arm, which is the throwing arm. After the departure of Freddy Fermín, Pereda took the baton behind the plate and has also shown his value with the wood. So far this postseason, the catcher has .298/.415/.244 offensive line with .713 OPStwo homers and six runs batted in.
For now, no more information is known regarding the status of Jhonny Pereda. Meanwhile, Leones might split playing time between Torres and the recovering Wilfredo Giménez.
