2025 Fantasy Outlook
Perez had a solid if not spectacular rookie season for the Tigers in 2024. The 24-year-old slashed .242/.300/.383 with nine home runs, 37 RBI and 51 runs scored across 112 games. He also chipped in nine stolen bases in 14 attempts. While Perez played some middle infield during his time in the minors, he exclusively appeared in the outfield for Detroit. Moving forward, Perez's greatest fantasy asset appears to be his speed. He swiped 26 bags in 33 attempts across three levels of the minor leagues in 2023. Perez was less efficient on the bases last year in the majors, though it's encouraging to see him run fairly frequently. Perez also sported an impressive .890 OPS over 35 games during his taste of Triple-A in 2023, so there could be room for further offensive growth in his second MLB campaign. Heading into 2025, the Tigers appear to have Riley Greene and Parker Meadows locked in as outfield mainstays in left and center, respectively. That leaves right field for Perez, and he should have a path to regular playing time, though utility player Matt Vierling will likely factor into the mix as well. Perez doesn't offer the most exciting fantasy profile, but he should be good for a handful of steals with the potential to take his overall game a step forward. Read Past Outlooks
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.
ANALYSIS
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 missed his team's first 55 games due to back inflammation, but now that he's made his return, he should see semi-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. It was Perez in center Tuesday with Baez shifting over to third base.

Past Fantasy Outlooks
2024
2023
2019
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.

Latest Fantasy Rumors
Roster spot seems secure
Perez's spot on the Tigers' Opening Day roster appears set with Matt Vierling out due to a rotator cuff injury, per Evan Woodbery of MLive.com.
ANALYSIS
Perez flashed some potential as a rookie last year with a .242/.300/.383 slash line over 112 regular-season games, but he didn't enter camp with a guaranteed role for 2025. Vierling's injury will open up significant at-bats to begin the season, and Perez is best position to take advantage of that absence.
