MATT VIERLING NEWS

Homers early in loss Vierling went 1-for-4 with a solo home run in Wednesday's 2-1 loss to the Guardians.

Impact Vierling went deep in the first inning, his 13th home run of the season, but then he and the rest of Detroit's hitters went quiet the remainder of the game. The 27-year-old continues to increase his career-best total of long balls, as his previous high was the 10 home runs he hit last year. Vierling is also two RBI away from tying his career-best mark of 44, which was also set in 2023.

Productive from leadoff spot Monday Vierling went 3-for-5 with two doubles and a run scored in Monday's 8-2 win over the Guardians.

Impact Vierling received a day off Sunday, but he returned to the lineup and didn't miss a beat as he extended his hitting streak to five games. During that time, the utility player has recorded three multi-hit efforts, pushing his overall batting average up to .256. Vierling should continue to see regular playing time for the Tigers at third base and in the outfield, and he's capable of producing decent fantasy numbers.

Resting Sunday Vierling is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Blue Jays.

Impact Vierling will hit the bench after going 10-for-33 (.303 average) with five extra-base hits, six RBI and seven runs while starting in each of the Tigers' last eight games either at center field or third base. Riley Greene will cover center field Sunday, while Gio Urshela moves across the diamond and gets the nod at the hot corner.

Tallies two hits in win Vierling went 2-for-5 with a run scored in Saturday's 7-3 win over the Blue Jays.

Impact Vierling extended his hitting streak to four games, and he's batting .303 over his last eight contests. The utility player has settled into a regular role with the Tigers as he splits time between third base and the outfield. Vierling doesn't have the most exciting fantasy profile, though he's worth a look in deeper formats due to his playing time and versatility.

Solid effort in win Vierling went 2-for-4 with a double, an RBI and a run scored in Thursday's 10-1 win over the Guardians.

Impact A day after going deep and driving in three runs, Vierling stayed locked in, extending his modest hitting streak to four games. For the season, the 27-year-old is batting .249 with a .729 OPS. While his production doesn't jump off the page, Vierling does see regular playing time for the Tigers across the field, giving him some degree of fantasy utility.

Homers, drives in three in win Vierling went 1-for-2 with a home run and three RBI in Wednesday's 5-4 win over the Guardians.

Taking seat Monday Vierling is out of the lineup for Monday's game against the Guardians.

Impact Vierling started each of the past five days and recently moved past a sore left foot, so he's likely just getting a maintenance day as the Tigers begin a four-game set with the Guardians. The 27-year-old had been splitting time between third base and the outfield of late, but he'll likely see most of his reps in the outfield for the foreseeable future after Parker Meadows (hamstring) was placed on the 10-day injured list Monday.

Helps lead offense in return Vierling (foot) went 1-for-5 with a two-run home run and an additional run scored in Wednesday's 9-2 win over the Twins.

Impact Vierling had missed the last two games with a sore left foot, but he quickly got back up to speed as he recorded his career-best 11th home run of the season in the easy win. The 27-year-old has been a solid, versatile player for the Tigers the last two years, and while he's not the most exciting fantasy option, his steady playing time across the diamond does give him a path to steady value the rest of the way.

Back in action Wednesday Vierling (foot) will start at third base and bat leadoff during Wednesday's game versus Minnesota, Evan Woodbery of MLive.com reports.

Impact A sore left foot has prevented Vierling from playing in Detroit's last two games, but he seems to be feeling better ahead of Wednesday's contest. The 27-year-old has gone 4-for-20 with a homer and three RBI over his last five games.

Sitting again Tuesday Vierling (foot) is out of the lineup for Tuesday's game at Minnesota, Evan Woodbery of MLive.com reports.

Impact The 27-year-old was scratched from Sunday's lineup due to left soreness and will sit again Tuesday following Monday's team off day. Vierling was hit by a pitch during Saturday's contest and had preliminary X-rays come back clean.

Scratched with foot soreness Vierling was scratched from the lineup for Sunday's game against the Angels due to left foot soreness.

Impact Vierling presumably suffered the injury during Saturday's contest as he went 1-for-5 with three strikeouts. He should be considered day-to-day and will have Monday's team off day to aid in his recovery ahead of Tuesday's series opener in Minnesota.

Getting rest Monday Vierling is out of the lineup for Monday's game against the Rangers.

Impact Vierling will get a breather for the series opener, despite being one of the hottest hitters in the Detroit lineup at the moment. While starting each of the last seven games, Vierling recorded at least one hit and produced a .438/.455/.906 slash line overall. The 27-year-old should have a hold on a near-everyday role while he's sizzling at the plate, but his absence from the lineup Monday will open up a spot in the outfield for Akil Baddoo.
