Matt Vierling - MLB News, Rumors, & Updates

Done for regular season The Tigers placed Vierling (adductor/heel) on the 60-day injured list Sunday, Jason Beck of MLB.com reports.

Impact Vierling initially landed on the 10-day IL due to a left adductor strain July 31. He then suffered a heel injury in late August, and the pair of issues will result in Vierling being ruled out for the remainder of the regular season. He could theoretically return for the playoffs, but that might be a moot point with Detroit currently 6.5 games back of a wild-card spot.

Dealing with new injury Vierling (adductor) encountered a setback recently when he suffered a heel injury, Cody Stavenhagen of The Athletic reports.

Impact Vierling landed on the 10-day injured list in late July with an adductor strain, and he now has a new injury to contend with. The 29-year-old will likely need a rehab assignment before being activated, and there is no timeline for his return.

Placed on 10-day injured list The Tigers placed Vierling on the 10-day injured list Friday, retroactive to Thursday, due to a left adductor strain.

Impact Vierling tweaked his adductor during Wednesday's game against the Orioles. The injury is severe enough for him to go on the IL, and the Tigers will have a better sense of Vierling's return timeline once he's cleared to resume baseball activities. Max Clark's contract was selected from Triple-A Toledo in a corresponding move, and the 21-year-old outfielder will make his major-league debut against the Athletics on Friday.

Sitting in second straight game Vierling is out of the lineup for Monday's game against the Cubs.

Impact 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.

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.

Impact Vierling paced Detroit's lineup from the leadoff spot Saturday as he matched his season high in hits. Heading into the All-Star break, the veteran utility player has mostly been working as a platoon partner to James Outman in center field. The left-hand hitting Outman has been on the strong side of the arrangement, with Vierling often tapped to face lefties, as was the case Saturday with Philadelphia starting ace Cristopher Sanchez. 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.

Taking seat Sunday Vierling is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the White Sox.

Impact 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.

Homers in win Vierling went 1-for-4 with a two-run home run in Friday's 4-3 win over the White Sox.

Impact 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.
