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.

Impact 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).

Homers again Monday Vierling went 1-for-3 with a solo home run in Monday's 8-2 loss to the Guardians.

Impact 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.

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.

Impact 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.

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.

Impact 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, slashing .217/.282/.380 with two homers, 17 RBI, nine runs and a stolen base across 33 games.

Goes deep in loss Vierling went 2-for-4 with a solo home run in Tuesday's 10-3 loss to the Red Sox.

Impact 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 the former isn't guaranteed to hold onto a regular role for the rest of the season.
