Wenceel Pérez is set to secure a spot on the Detroit Tigers' Opening Day roster, stepping into the primary center field role as injuries to Matt Vierling and Parker Meadows create an opportunity. Pérez, who demonstrated versatility during the previous season by transitioning from infield to outfield, is now expected to hit leadoff as he prepares for the 2025 MLB season. Despite a rocky finish to his last season, his athleticism and experience gained from 112 games in 2024 position him as a potential asset. His focus on improving communication in the outfield will be crucial as he aims to solidify his place on the team.
