Perez could make an expanded Tigers' roster or taxi squad to begin a shortened 2020 season, Evan Woodbery of MLive.com reports.

EDGE Analysis

Perez was optioned to High-A back in March, so it would be quite the jump to the majors. However, it's looking like there won't be a minor league season in 2020, and MLB teams might be allowed to work with expanded rosters during a condensed schedule. If that's the case, the Tigers may opt to use Perez out of their bullpen simply so they can get him some work this year. The 22-year-old has battled injuries the last two seasons, so if he's healthy, Detroit may want to see him pitch rather than collect even more rust.
