Hits leadoff home run Sunday Vierling went 2-for-4 with a double, a solo home run, an additional run scored and two total RBI in Sunday's 5-4 win over the Giants
Impact Vierling started the game with a leadoff home run, his 14th long ball of the season. The utility player is setting a new career best with each blast, and he now has a career high 46 RBI this year as well. His .737 OPS would also be his best since recording an .843 mark across 34 games with the Phillies during his 2021 rookie campaign. Vierling should continue to see regular playing time for the Tigers in the outfield and at third base, giving him decent fantasy value as long as he stays productive at the plate.

The stolen base was his third of the season, with all three coming over his last 10 games.
