  • Belts two homers in nightcap
    Perez went 3-for-4 with a walk, two home runs, three runs scored and three RBI in an 11-6 win over the Cardinals during the second game of Tuesday's doubleheader.

    Advice: After going 0-for-4 in the matinee, Perez led the charge for Detroit in the nightcap, launching a solo shot off Steven Matz in the second inning before belting a two-run shot in the fifth off Ryan Fernandez that put the Tigers in the lead for good. Perez has three homers in 15 games since his promotion, and they've all come in the last three games. The sudden power surge has pushed his slash line to .302/.375/.628 with two steals, seven runs and eight RBI. Rotowire.com Yesterday, 7:39 pm
     
  • Wenceel Pérez launches two homers in Tigers’ win
    Wenceel Pérez homered from both sides of the plate in the Tigers’ lopsided win over the Cardinals in the nightcap of Tuesday’s twin bill.

    Advice: Pérez accomplished the extremely rare feat by taking southpaw Steven Matz deep in the second inning before homering off righty reliever Ryan Fernandez a couple frames later. It was his first career multi-homer effort. The 24-year-old rookie infielder has held his own so far in a small sample, batting .302 (13-for-43) with three homers and two steals in 15 games.

    The Angels transferred Stefanic (quadriceps) to the 60-day injured list Tuesday.

    Advice: A quad strain has kept Stefanic on the injured list since the beginning of the season, and his move to the 60-day IL pushes his eligible return date back to May 27. He's been fielding grounders and taking batting practice and has recently resumed a running program, though it's unclear how far away he is from beginning a rehab assignment.
