The New York Mets acquired catcher Michael Perez from the Pittsburgh Pirates for case considerations today.
Perez was DFA'd by the Pirates on Friday and could play a key role in the second half with catcher James McCann on the IL with a left oblique injury and catcher Tomas Nido left last night's game with a bruised left hand although X-Rays were negative.
Perez is hitting .150 with six homers and 11 RBI this year with a .526 OPS.
He is known more for his defense with a .996 fielding percentage and 264 putouts this year.
Outfielder Travis Blakenhorn was designated for assignment as corresponding roster move.
