Wenceel Pérez returns home, but when will he return to Detroit Tigers?
Tarik Skubal injury: Detroit Tigers ace discusses left elbow surgery
Detroit Tigers left-hander Tarik Skubal talks to reporters May 4, 2026, at Comerica Park about needing surgery to remove loose bodies in his elbow.
Wenceel Pérez is home.
But when will he return to the Detroit Tigers?
The 26-year-old outfielder returned to Detroit on Friday, June 19, after spending a couple extra days in Houston awaiting clearance to fly. He suffered an orbital fracture June 16 when a plyometric band struck him below his left eye during his postgame workout routine.
Don’t expect to see him in MLB games anytime soon.
“It’s not injured, from what I understand, where it’s going to be something long term,” manager A.J. Hinch said before Tuesday’s game against the New York Yankees at Comerica Park, “but it doesn’t mean it heals itself fast. He’s feeling better and better and reporting progress.”
The fracture doesn’t require surgery.
“We’ve got to pay attention to the bone healing,” Hinch said. “The eye part of it is, the swelling is the main issue. There were a couple of days there where your eye swells shut and the vision is not there.”
Pérez hasn’t played for the Tigers since June 16.
Before the injury, he hit .180 with seven home runs, 14 walks and 29 strikeouts in 53 games.
Parker Meadows injury update
Center fielder Parker Meadows hasn’t played for the Tigers since April 9.
The 26-year-old has been on the injured list with a left radius fracture, a concussion and a right mouth laceration, with the left radius fracture requiring surgery. There isn’t a timetable for his return to the Tigers.
“The bone shattered, so it’s not as simple as healing a simple break,” Hinch said. “I say shattered as a non-doctor, so I’m not sure if that’s the actual term, but I know it’s been a work in progress to continue his ability to do everything with that hand and arm and wrist. It’s been slow, and there’s not much we can do.”
Before the injury, he hit .250 with two walks and 10 strikeouts in 12 games while serving as the everyday center fielder.
“He’s not hitting and doing all those things that would lead you to start to wonder when he’s coming back, but it’s progressing,” Hinch said. “The nature of the injury, as we are learning, has been the slowest a bone heals. It’s by no setback or no issue.”
‘Slow ramp’ for Gleyber Torres
Second baseman Gleyber Torres, who has one of the best on-base percentages in baseball, remains sidelined with a left oblique strain. The 29-year-old received a cortisone shot Friday, but he still hasn’t resumed baseball activities.
It’s his second left oblique strain over the past two months.
Last time, Torres missed one month while recovering on the injured list.
It could be an even longer process this time.
“He’s doing his normal rehab therapy,” Hinch said. “It’ll be a slow ramp for him.”
Before the latest injury, he hit .280 with four home runs, 29 walks and 33 strikeouts in 43 games while serving as the everyday second baseman.
