2024 Fantasy Outlook
Perez made it to the Triple-A level for the first time in 2023 and showed some promise, recording an .890 OPS over 35 games for Toledo. The 24-year-old also flashed some speed, tallying 26 stolen bases in 113 total games across three levels. All of that came on the heels of an impressive 2022 campaign, which saw Perez record a .295/.369/.534 slash line with 14 home runs and 18 stolen bases between High- and Double-A. He dipped to only nine home runs last year, but Perez could carve out a role in the majors due to his batted ball skills and ability to steal bases. Another noteworthy development last year was Perez seeing playing time in the outfield after not appearing there in either of the previous two seasons. Because Perez can also play some middle infield, it seems like the organization is preparing him for more of a utility role. With mediocre options such as Zach McKinstry, Andy Ibanez and Nick Maton vying for that type of role with the Tigers, Perez could certainly force his way into the picture if he continues to play well in the minors.

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.
ANALYSIS
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.

Latest Fantasy Rumors
Promotion coming?
Perez is expected to be recalled by the Tigers, Dominican Republic news outlet EL VARON Sport reports.
ANALYSIS
The report, which was passed along by Chris McCosky of the Detroit News, was shared via Perez on his Instagram story. The Tigers have yet to confirm the promotion, and it's not yet clear whose roster spot Perez would be taking. It would be the first stint in the majors for Perez, who has a .782 OPS with one homer and four steals this season with Triple-A Toledo. The switch-hitter has plenty of past experience as an infielder but has played the outfield exclusively this season.

Past Fantasy Outlooks
2023
2019
Perez put himself back on the prospect radar for the Tigers last season, finishing with a .295/.369/.534 batting line with 14 home runs and 18 stolen bases between High- and Double-A. The performance was enough to convince Detroit to add the 23-year-old to their 40-man roster over the winter. Perez has always shown good speed and made a lot of contact, but the pop he displayed in 2022 was new. Certainly, it makes him more interesting in fantasy if he can carry that tool over moving forward. Another year of seasoning for the infielder is likely needed.
