The Tigers announced that outfielder has been placed on the 10-day injured list due to a left oblique strain. Outfielder was called up from Triple-A to fill Perezs spot on the active roster. An IL stint seemed likely for Perez after he left last nights game early due to sorene s in his left abdominal area. The severity of the oblique strain isnt yet known, but anything beyond a Grade 1 strain might well put the rest of Perezs rookie season in jeopardy. Perez made his Major League debut back on April 8, and he has quickly become a regular in Detroits lineup. Perez has +3 Outs Above Average Bradley Beal Jersey , and +2 Defensive Runs Saved for his 574 innings as a right fielder, though the UZR/150 metric (-0.3) is le s impre sed. Starting the year in something of a right field timeshare with and , Perez had more or le s moved into the everyday role in the wake of Carpenters extended stint on the IL, and Canhas increased usage as a first baseman and DH before the Tigers traded him to the Giants. Perez has also gotten a good chunk of playing time in center field, even his glovework up the middle hasnt been great. At the plate, Perez has hit .242/.298/.386 over 378 plate appearances, which translates to a 92 wRC+ in his first exposure to MLB pitching. The switch-hitter has roughly equal splits from both sides of the plate, and he hasnt made much hard contact. Despite the uninspiring numbers, Perez has been deployed as the Tigers leadoff hitter for a good portion of the season, usually taking the top spot when or hasnt been the teams first batter. Baddoo figures to step into Perezs outfield role and might get some leadoff at-bats himself down the stretch as the 55-62 Tigers will be prioritizing younger talent down the stretch.
