Matt Vierling - Page 6 - MLB News, Rumors, & Updates

Sitting out Saturday Vierling isn't in the Tigers' lineup Saturday against the Mariners.

Impact Vierling is 0-for-8 across his last three games, so he'll get a day off Saturday to regroup. Akil Baddoo, Riley Greene and Kerry Carpenter will man Detroit's outfield from left to right Saturday, and Miguel Cabrera will serve as the Tigers' designated hitter.

Not starting Sunday Vierling is out of the lineup for Sunday's game versus the Blue Jays.

Impact Vierling started the past nine games and will receive a day off after he hit .364/.432/.485 during that span. Kerry Carpenter will man right field while Miguel Cabrera serves as the designated hitter.

JULY 9, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Tallies three hits Friday Vierling went 3-for-4 with an RBI in Friday's loss to the Blue Jays.

Impact Vierling was the only Detroit player with multiple hits, giving him his third multi-hit effort across his last five games. The outfielder has been solid in his first season with the Tigers, as he's now batting .284 with a .773 OPS. He should continue to hit near the top of the order, including as an occasional leadoff option.

JULY 8, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Records two hits, two runs in win Vierling went 2-for-4 with a walk, an RBI and two runs scored in Thursday's 8-5 win over the Rangers.

Impact Vierling served as an effective leadoff man for the Tigers and helped lead them to a series victory. The outfielder didn't play in Wednesday's contest, but he's otherwise batted first in three straight games. Zach McKinstry has been the team's other main leadoff option, though Vierling has been a bit better offensively this year with a .753 OPS versus .705 for McKinstry.

JUNE 30, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Records three hits Monday Vierling went 3-for-5 with a double and two runs scored in Monday's win over the Rangers.

Impact Vierling paced Detroit's offense from the leadoff spot in the 7-2 victory. The outfielder missed some time with a back injury this month, though he's shown no ill effects, as he's batting .429 in 13 games since returning. Vierling has been batting lower in the order recently, but his strong effort Monday could help him stick atop the lineup moving forward.

JUNE 27, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Not starting Saturday Vierling isn't in the Tigers' lineup Saturday against the Twins.

Impact Vierling is 2-for-7 with two RBI and a run scored since returning from back issues that kept him out of the lineup three straight games. He'll get a breather Saturday, as the Tigers will have Kerry Carpenter, Jake Marisnick and Zach McKinstry in the outfield from left to right.

JUNE 24, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Back in action Wednesday Vierling (back) will start in center field and bat seventh in Wednesday's game against the Royals.

Impact Vierling will check back into the Detroit outfield after a bout with back spasms kept him on the bench each of the past three games. Now that Vierling is ostensibly healthy again, Jake Marisnick will likely move back into a fourth-outfielder role.

JUNE 21, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Remains out Tuesday Vierling (back) isn't starting Tuesday against the Royals.

Impact Vierling will now miss his third consecutive start since being scratched ahead of Sunday's game due to back spasms. It's unclear when he will return, but an IL move likely won't be necessary. Jake Marisnick will start in center field Tuesday batting ninth, and Andy Ibanez will get the nod in right while batting third.

JUNE 20, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Gets another day off Monday Vierling (back) is out of the lineup for Monday's game against the Royals.

Impact Vierling was scratched ahead of Sunday's 6-4 win over the Twins after experiencing back spasms, and he'll get at least one more day off to recover from the injury. With Vierling on the bench Monday, the Tigers will roll out an outfield of Andy Ibanez, Zach McKinstry and Kerry Carpenter from left to right.

JUNE 19, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Scratched with back spasms Vierling was scratched from the lineup on Sunday versus the Twins with low back spasms, Jason Beck of MLB.com reports.

Impact Vierling was just activated off the injured list after missing time with soreness in his lower back, and the Tigers will not take any risks and scratch the outfielder from Sunday's finale against the Twins. For now, Vierling should be considered day-to-day.

JUNE 18, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Leading off Saturday Vierling is starting in right field and batting first in Saturday's game against the Twins.

Impact With Zach McKinstry on the bench, the Tigers will turn to Vierling in the leadoff spot. The latter has consecutive three-hit games, pushing his season batting average to .268, and he could see more opportunities at the top of the order if he stays hot at the plate. Vierling has also chipped in four stolen bases this season, though he has been caught stealing five times.

Tallies three hits Thursday Vierling went 3-for-3 with a walk, an RBI and a run scored in Thursday's win over the Twins.

Impact Vierling also got picked off when he left too early trying to steal second base, but it was a positive night overall. He started in center field before shifting over to right when Jake Marisnick entered as a defensive replacement. With Riley Greene (fibula) out, Vierling should remain a lineup staple most days. Even when Greene eventually returns, Vierling figures to be the top option in right.

Impact Vierling will remain on the bench for a second straight game after being activated from the 10-day injured list Monday. Jake Marisnick will draw the start in center field and bat ninth in the matinee Wednesday.

Activated, starting in CF The Tigers activated Vierling (back) from the 10-day injured list Monday. He'll start in center field and bat sixth in Detroit's series opener with Atlanta.

Impact Vierling has been sidelined since late May with a back issue but is ready to roll following a short rehab assignment. He's seen most of his action in right field this season, but he could end up settling into a regular role in center for the time being while Riley Greene (lower leg) is likely multiple weeks away from a return from the IL.

Impact Vierling met with team trainers and manager A.J. Hinch in what appeared to be a final checkup after he completed a two-game rehab assignment with Triple-A Toledo on Friday and Saturday. Assuming Vierling's back issue is no longer causing him problems, he should immediately step into a near-everyday role in the Detroit outfield once activated.

JUNE 12, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Beginning assignment Vierling (back) will begin a rehab assignment with Triple-A Toledo on Friday, Cody Stavenhagen of The Athletic reports.

Impact Vierling began working out in Toledo on Thursday and will officially return to game action Friday. The 26-year-old outfielder will presumably get a handful of plate appearances in the minors before rejoining the Tigers early next week.

Begins workouts at Triple-A Vierling (back) began workouts at Triple-A Toledo on Thursday, Jason Beck of MLB.com reports.

Impact That would indicate that Vierling might be cleared to play in minor-league rehab games this weekend and could perhaps return to the Tigers' active roster early next week. The 26-year-old outfielder has been on the 10-day injured list since May 30 due to lower back soreness.

JUNE 8, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Tracks pitches Tuesday Vierling (back) tracked pitches during Matt Manning's (foot) live batting practice session Tuesday, Chris McCosky of The Detroit News reports.

Impact It's not clear when Vierling might be ready to swing a bat again, but it's at least a small step forward that he's been cleared to do some activity. He's been sidelined since late May with lower-back soreness.
