Taking seat Sunday Perez is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Twins.

Impact Perez will head to the bench after he went 8-for-27 with four extra-base hits, seven runs and seven RBI while starting in each of the Tigers' last seven games. Though Perez will face more competition for playing time with the Tigers bringing back Matt Vierling (shoulder) from the injured list Saturday, neither player will be included in the lineup Sunday. Instead, the Tigers will have Kerry Carpenter start in right field and Colt Keith serve as their designated hitter, opening up third base for utility man Zach McKinstry.

Getting results with new stance The Tigers attribute some of Perez's success this season to a tweaked batting stance in which he angled his front foot further in, Cody Stavenhagen of The Athletic reports.

Impact Perez made the adjustment hoping to not pull off the ball as much, and so far, the results have been positive. The outfielder has a robust .983 OPS through 25 games, up from .683 across 112 regular-season games during his 2024 rookie campaign. The switch-hitting Perez has made his most noticeable jump from the right side of the plate against lefty pitchers. Last year in those matchups, he had a .594 OPS. So far in 2025, Perez has boosted that figure up to a sizzling 1.424, albeit in only 19 plate appearances. The 25-year-old is firmly establishing himself as Detroit's right fielder, and his numbers warrant fantasy attention.

Goes deep again Sunday Perez went 2-for-4 with a home run, two total runs scored and three RBI in Sunday's 9-3 win over the Rays.

Impact Perez kept swinging a hot bat as the Tigers took the series finale on the road against Tampa Bay. The outfielder is up to six home runs already in just 22 games, as he missed his team's first 55 contests due to back inflammation. By comparison, Perez had only nine long balls across 112 regular-season games last year. His power might subside at some point, but the 25-year-old is worth plugging into lineups while he's slugging like this.

Blasts another home run Tuesday Perez went 2-for-4 with a triple, a home run and three RBI in Tuesday's 7-3 win over the Pirates.

Impact Perez went deep for the second straight game, and he now has five home runs in just 18 contests total for the season. By comparison, the outfielder had nine long balls in 112 regular-season games last year. At his current pace, Perez will easily set a new career high in homers if he's able to stay healthy. He is also sporting a robust 1.057 OPS, giving the 25-year-old plenty of fantasy value at the moment.

Goes deep in loss Perez went 2-for-3 with a walk, a double and a solo home run in Sunday's 8-4 loss to the Reds.

Impact Perez launched his fourth home run of the season in the fourth inning against Cincinnati starter Wade Miley. Since making his season debut on May 27, the outfielder has been a potent offensive performer, as he's now batting .302 with a robust .968 OPS. While Perez's success Sunday came against a southpaw, he actually has reverse splits over the past three years, giving him some fantasy appeal no matter who is on the mound for the opponent.
