Wenceel Pérez, Detroit Tigers, Out With Lower Back Inflammation, 60-Day Injured List

Wenceel Pérez's absence due to his lower back inflammation means the Detroit Tigers will need to adjust their lineup. Zach McKinstry is set to play in right field for the upcoming games. Pérez has no current season stats, so his injury does not affect any personal streaks.

The Tigers face the St. Louis Cardinals at Busch Stadium on May 20, 2025. Kerry Carpenter, who also plays right field, is batting .284 with 9 home runs and 21 RBIs. These stats highlight the depth the Tigers have in the outfield positions during Pérez's recovery period.
