Wenceel Pérez of the Detroit Tigers is making waves in his transition to the outfield, recently achieving two outfield assists in a single inning, a remarkable feat during the Tigers' 11-4 victory over the Oakland Athletics. Pérez, who has returned from a lower back injury, is contributing significantly both defensively and offensively, boasting a .307 batting average and a powerful offensive presence since late May.

His performance drew praise from manager A.J. Hinch, who highlighted Pérez's dual contributions during the game. The 25-year-old's impressive throw to nab Tyler Soderstrom sliding into second base and another to catch Jacob Wilson illustrate his rapid adaptation to the outfield position, which he only began playing this season. This game marks a milestone in Pérez's career, showcasing his potential as a dynamic player for the Tigers as they strive for a strong season.
