Tigers' Wenceel Perez: May be pushing for everyday role
Perez will start in center field and bat third in Wednesday's game against the Cardinals, Evan Woodbery of MLive.com reports.
After getting on base four times and slugging two home runs between both ends of Tuesday's doubleheader, Perez will pick up a fifth consecutive start in the outfield Wednesday. With Austin Meadows on the bench for the second time in five games while he's hitting just .100 on the season, Perez could soon move into a full-time role at Meadows' expense. Since being called up from Triple-A Toledo on April 8, Perez has produced a 1.003 OPS over 48 plate appearances with Detroit.

Tigers' Wenceel Perez: Belts two homers in nightcap
Perez went 3-for-4 with a walk, two home runs, three runs scored and three RBI in an 11-6 win over the Cardinals during the second game of Tuesday's doubleheader.

Tigers' Wenceel Perez: Smacks first career homer
Perez went 2-for-4 with a two-run home run during Sunday's 4-1 victory over the Royals.
Perez' first career dinger came in the first inning off Kansas City starter Michael Wacha and represented what turned out to be the game-winning blast for the Tigers. The rookie outfielder has started four of the past five games for the Tigers and has found himself consistently toward the top of the lineup, hitting in the three hole for the third consecutive start. Through 35 at-bats, Perez has 10 hits, including one double, two triples and a home run with five RBI and four runs scored.

Tigers' Wenceel Perez: Big effort Friday
Perez went 3-for-5 with a triple, two RBI and two runs scored in Friday's 5-4 win over the Twins. He also stole a base.
Perez batted second, which he's done in each of his last two starts, and responded with a strong game. The 24-year-old is still in a reserve role for the Tigers, though he's been playing well in his MLB debut, posting a .313/.353/.500 slash line across 16 at-bats. If Perez is able to earn more playing time at some point, his fantasy value would trend upward.

Perez went 2-for-3 with a double and a stolen base in Saturday's loss to the Twins in the second game of a doubleheader.
Perez reached on an infield single in his first at-bat and stole second but was left stranded. He also reached second base in the bottom of the seventh, this time on a two-out double, but was again left hanging as Detroit's offense struggled to get anything going on the night. The two hits were the first of the season for the second baseman, though he also drew a walk and scored in the first game of the doubleheader.
