Starting Wednesday after all Perez is starting in right field and batting fifth against the White Sox on Wednesday.

Impact Perez was initially omitted from Wednesday's lineup, but the 25-year-old will start due to Kerry Carpenter being scratched with right hamstring tightness. Perez has gone 7-for-23 (.304) with two home runs and three RBI since being reinstated from the 60-day injured list May 27.

Heading to bench Wednesday Perez is out of the lineup for Wednesday's game against the White Sox.

Impact Since returning from the injured list May 27 to make his season debut, Perez has now started in six of the Tigers' eight games, with both of his absences coming against left-handed starting pitchers. Though Perez has gotten off to a nice start with seven hits -- including two home runs and two doubles -- in 23 at-bats, his playing time versus right-handed pitching could become more sporadic after the Tigers welcomed Parker Meadows back from the IL this week. Meadows and Riley Greene should be locked into everyday roles in center field and left field, respectively, against right-handed pitching, which leaves Perez to contend with Kerry Carpenter, Spencer Torkelson and Colt Keith for one of three lineup spots at designated hitter, first base and in right field.

Homers again Monday Perez went 2-for-5 with a two-run home run in Monday's 13-1 win over the White Sox.

Impact Perez has now appeared in six contests since coming off the injured list, and he's been an impact player with a .316 batting average, 1.087 OPS and two home runs. The outfielder had nine home runs all of last year across 112 regular-season games, so his current pace seems unsustainable, but fantasy managers should enjoy the power surge for however long it lasts.

Not in Sunday's lineup Perez is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Royals, Evan Woodbery of MLive.com reports.

Impact Perez started four straight games after being reinstated from the injured list Tuesday and will receive Sunday off after going 4-for-14 with a double, a solo homer and six strikeouts. Javier Baez is starting in center field for the series finale in Kansas City.

Starting in center again Perez is starting in center field and batting sixth in Saturday's game against the Royals.

Impact Since being activated from the injured list Tuesday after missing his team's first 55 games due to back inflammation, Perez is now starting in center for the fourth straight day. Javier Baez filled in well there, but he can also play infield, which is what he is doing Saturday with Zach McKinstry out of the lineup. Expect Baez to shift between the outfield and infield, giving Perez a path to regular playing time whenever Baez is situated in the diamond.

Homers in first game back Perez (back) went 1-for-3 with a solo home run in Tuesday's 3-1 win over the Giants.

Impact Perez was activated from the 60-day injured list earlier in the day, and he quickly made his mark in his first game of the season. The outfielder ultimately missed his team's first 55 games, but now that he's back, he should see regular time in the field, particularly with Parker Meadows (arm) and Matt Vierling (shoulder) still out. Javier Baez has played well in center field, however, and should continue to have a big role as long as he's hitting.

Reinstated, starting Tuesday Perez (back) was activated from the 60-day injured list and is starting in center field and batting sixth Tuesday against the Giants, Evan Petzold of the Detroit Free Press reports...

Impact The 25-year-old has been on the shelf due to back inflammation for the first two months of the season, but he's ready for his season debut after going 4-for-18 with a .730 OPS during a six-game rehab assignment. Perez posted a .242/.300/.383 slash line in 112 games as a rookie last year and should see most of his playing time in center and right field. Matt Vierling (shoulder) was placed on the injured list in a corresponding move.
