There’s not much that can keep Dingler down and that comes from an ever-growing confidence and skillset that the Tigers have always appreciated from their 2020 second-round MLB draft pick. It’s made him the perfect fit for the Tigers and catapulted his growth as a contributor in his second season as a major leaguer.

Wenceel Perez joined the Detroit Tigers ’ history books Tuesday night. The second-year outfielder became one of just five players in Tigers’ franchise history to record a single, double, triple, and two stolen bases in the same game. In a 12–2 win on July 29, 2025, Perez pretty much did it all.

A.J. Hinch wasn’t waiting out for Casey Mize to figure things out. The Tigers manager had seen his All-Star starter struggle through his previous two starts, and he didn’t want to let an opportunity for a third straight win slip away.

The Tigers' five prospects were tied for fifth-most among all organizations, with the Cleveland Guardians and Milwaukee Brewers.

The 2025 MLB season is at its peak, with teams already fighting for a playoff spot. The Blue Jays, Tigers, and Astros are dominating the American League in their respective divisions. The Mets have dethroned the Phillies and sit on top of the NL East.

It wasn’t too long ago that the Detroit Tigers were the best team in baseball, thriving in every facet of the game. But, they have fallen on tough times.
