Tigers' Wenceel Perez: Starting sixth straight game

Perez is starting in center field and batting third Friday against the Yankees, Evan Woodbery of MLive.com reports.

Perez has a .333/.400/.694 slash line over his past 10 contests and is starting Friday for the sixth consecutive game. He's seen most of his playing time in right field this season but is making his second straight start in center as Parker Meadows continues to struggle.
