Wenceel Pérez (eye) remains shut down from baseball activities due to recurring vision issues.

It doesn’t sound like Pérez is close to returning at all after dealing with recurring vision issues following a training room accident involving a plyometric band that left him with an orbital bone fracture. The greater concern here is that Pérez makes a full recovery and is eventually able to resume his baseball career.

Wenceel Pérez (face) began his minor league rehab assignment at Single-A Lakeland on Saturday.

Pérez has been shelved since mid-June after suffering a left orbital fracture in a freak accident in the training room when he was struck in the face by a plyometric band. He isn’t eligible to return until the middle of the month, so he’ll get at least a couple of weeks on his rehab assignment to get his timing back.

Tigers transferred OF Wenceel Pérez to the 60-day injured list.

Perez is shelved with a left orbital fracture that he sustained when he was struck in the face by a plyometric band in the training room. It’s now clear that he’s going to be out for an extended period of time as he won’t even be eligible to return until the end of August. This was done as a procedural move to clear a spot on the 40-man roster for the addition of Yilber Diaz on Friday.

Tigers placed OF Wenceel Pérez on the 10-day injured list with a left orbital fracture.

He was struck in the face by a plyometric band in the training room after Tuesday’s game and has not played since. It’s hard to understand Pérez’s return timeline and he was reportedly seeking further evaluation in Houston. Trei Cruz will take his roster spot for the time being.

Wenceel Pérez homered and doubled Thursday in the loss to the Angels.

Pérez’s 40-degree, 98-mph homer to right in the second definitely got some help from the wind, but he’ll take it. Pérez is hitting just .175/.241/.302 in 137 plate appearances, and he’d probably be in Triple-A right now if the Tigers were at full strength. As is, he’s essentially an everyday player, having started seven games in a row and 15 out of 17 since Kerry Carpenter went on the IL.

Tigers placed OF Kerry Carpenter on the 10-day injured list with a sprained left shoulder.

Gage Workman is replacing him on the roster. Carpenter was hurt Saturday while running into the side wall down the right field line on Bobby Witt Jr.'s inside-the-park homer. The Tigers will probably give Colt Keith more time at DH with Carpenter out, which would open up starts for Workman at third. Wenceel Pérez is also in line for some extra at-bats as a right fielder.

Kerry Carpenter came out of Saturday’s game because of left shoulder soreness.

Carpenter was hurt running into the side wall on Bobby Witt Jr.'s inside-the-park homer and is probably going to be day-to-day. It might be best if he DH’s a little bit, opening up some more starts for Wenceel Pérez.

Wenceel Pérez went 2-for-3 with a walk and two steals against the Rangers on Saturday.

It’s the second career multisteal game for Pérez; he previously had two last July 29 against the D-backs. He’s batting .170/.241/.302 in 58 plate appearances since Parker Meadows’ injury gave him an opportunity, so he needs to take a step forward to ensure that he sticks in Detroit’s plans. Some would already like to see Max Clark get a look in his place.

Wenceel Perez went 1-for-4, drove in a pair of runs and stole a base as the Tigers fell to the Rangers on Friday evening in Motown.

Perez got the Tigers on the board with a two-run single off of MacKenzie Gore in the fourth inning. He also reached on a fielder’s choice in the sixth inning, swiped second base and took third on an error, but the Tigers were unable to cash him in. On the season, the 26-year-old outfielder is now hitting .140/.204/.280 with two homers, five RBI and one stolen base through his first 54 plate appearances on the season.
