Tigers' Matt Vierling: Sitting in second straight game
Vierling is out of the lineup for Monday's game against the Cubs.
After a stretch of four consecutive starts, Vierling finds himself on the bench for a second day in a row. The right-handed-hitting outfielder should still have a path to making regular starts versus lefties, but his opportunities to play against righties could become more limited now that Detroit has one fewer lineup spot available after Gleyber Torres (oblique) was reinstated from the injured list Monday.

Tigers' Matt Vierling: Reaches four times in loss
Vierling went 3-for-3 with a walk and a run scored in the Tigers' 4-2 loss to the Phillies on Saturday.
Vierling paced Detroit's lineup from the leadoff spot as he matched his season high in hits. Heading into the All-Star break, the veteran utility player has mostly been working as a short-side platoon partner to James Outman in center field, with Vierling facing Philadelphia ace Cristopher Sanchez on Saturday. Vierling's ability to play other positions as well boosts his fantasy value, though his playing time is likely to remain somewhat sporadic in the second half of the year.

Tigers' Matt Vierling: Taking seat Sunday
Vierling is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the White Sox.
Vierling had covered center field in each of the last three games, but he'll give way to James Outman in the series finale. Though Vierling will likely be prioritized in the lineup ahead of Outman against left-handed pitching, manager A.J. Hinch could lean on the hotter bat among the two players when the Tigers face righties. Since the start of June, Vierling has produced a lowly .143/.162/.314 slash line.

Tigers' Matt Vierling: Homers in win
Vierling went 1-for-4 with a two-run home run in Friday's 4-3 win over the White Sox.
Vierling got the scoring started for Detroit with a first-inning home run, his fifth of the season. The veteran has seen his playing time trend downward this month as the Tigers have tried using more players in center field. Vierling is versatile enough to pick up starts elsewhere in the field, but he'll need to improve upon his .201 batting average and .608 OPS to remain in the lineup most days.

Tigers' Matt Vierling: Three hits in day game
Vierling went 3-for-4 with one RBI in a 5-3 loss to the Orioles in Game 1 of Sunday's doubleheader.
Vierling had gone five contests without a multi-hit effort, though he had a home run and three walks in that span. The outfielder has struggled to string together consistent performances at the plate this season. He's batting .217 with a .668 OPS, four home runs, 21 RBI, 12 runs scored, nine doubles and two stolen bases over 146 plate appearances. He has a clear path to at-bats as long as the Tigers are missing Parker Meadows (arm), Javier Baez (ankle) and Kerry Carpenter (shoulder).

Tigers' Matt Vierling: Homers again Monday
Vierling went 1-for-3 with a solo home run in Monday's 8-2 loss to the Guardians.
Vierling is now up to four home runs this season, with two of those long balls coming in the last three days. The veteran is seeing an uptick in playing time in center field with Parker Meadows (arm) and Javier Baez (ankle) both on the injured list. Vierling has yet to truly get going with a .211 batting average and .676 OPS, though his recent stretch offers some glimmer of optimism, and he should continue to be a lineup regular with his two teammates on the shelf.

Tigers' Matt Vierling: Provides offense Saturday
Vierling went 2-for-4 with a solo home run in Saturday's 2-1, 10-inning loss to the Blue Jays.
Vierling opened the scoring with his third home run of the season in the sixth inning, but Detroit was unable to muster any more offense in the narrow defeat. The utility player hasn't done much offensively this year with a .213/.281/.380 slash line through 37 games, though he has seen an uptick in playing time in center field with Parker Meadows (arm) and Javier Baez (ankle) both on the injured list at the moment.

Tigers' Matt Vierling: Exiting starting lineup
Vierling is not in the lineup for Thursday's contest against the Mets.
Vierling had started each of the last nine games in center field, but he'll take a seat in Thursday's series finale. It will be Wenceel Perez handling center field and batting eighth as the Tigers look to avoid the sweep.

Tigers' Matt Vierling: Plates two runs in win
Vierling went 1-for-4 with a double, two RBI and a walk in Sunday's 6-3 victory over Kansas City.
Vierling's lone hit was an impactful one, as he laced a two-out, two-RBI double off the wall in the second inning, advancing to third base on a Kyle Isbel error. Over the past seven games, Vierling has tallied four extra-base hits. His season numbers remain pedestrian, however, as he is slashing .217/.282/.380 with two homers, 17 RBI, nine runs and a stolen base across 33 games.

Tigers' Matt Vierling: Goes deep in loss
Vierling went 2-for-4 with a solo home run in Tuesday's 10-3 loss to the Red Sox.
Vierling was one of the few bright spots for Detroit, as he went deep to lead off in the bottom of the first inning. It was only the second long ball of the year for the veteran utility player, who is batting just .221 with a .669 OPS. Vierling has seen a bit more playing time lately with Parker Meadows (arm) and Javier Baez (ankle) both on the injured list, but he isn't guaranteed to hold onto a regular role for the rest of the season.

Vierling had started each of the last four games, going a collective 1-for-14 with a 3:1 BB:K. Though he'll hit the bench Wednesday, Vierling's outlook for playing time appears to have improved with Javier Baez (ankle) landing on the injured list.
