May see more time in center Vierling, who started in center field Monday against Arizona and went 1-for-4 with a double and an RBI, could see more time there in the short term with Parker Meadows (quad) landi...

Impact Vierling had been seeing some time in left and right field, as well as at third base, but he may now focus more squarely on center with Meadows on the shelf. Wenceel Perez, who started in right Monday, is also an option in center, though it appears that Vierling will be first in the pecking order. The veteran utility player is only batting .212 this season, but he's been better lately with a .286 average over his last 10 games, and his fantasy outlook gets a short-term boost while Meadows is out.

Delivers key hit Sunday Vierling went 1-for-4 with an RBI in Sunday's 2-1 win over the Rangers.

Impact Vierling's box score doesn't jump off the page, but he provided the key hit by delivering an RBI single in the top of the eighth inning that broke a 1-1 tie. The utility man has struggled to get his bat going during an injury-riddled season, though he's now riding a modest three-game hitting streak, and his playing time has been trending upward recently as well. His versatility gives him a path to a fairly consistent spot in the lineup if he continues to produce at the plate.

Playing time picking up Vierling will start in right field and bat seventh in Sunday's game against the Mariners.

Impact Though he'll be filling in for a resting Wenceel Perez in the series finale, Vierling could be encroaching on Parker Meadows' role as the Tigers' preferred option in center field. Since returning from the injured list June 28, Vierling had been spelling the lefty-hitting Meadows against left-handed pitching, but Vierling also received the nod over Meadows in two of the Tigers' previous four matchups with righties. Vierling has gone just 4-for-25 with a 6:6 BB:K in eight games since being activated, so he'll likely need to raise his performance before fully overtaking Meadows, who owns a lowly .565 OPS for the season but brings better defense to the table.

Impact Vierling has appeared in just four major-league games this season due to right shoulder inflammation, which has led to two separate stints on the injured list. He played in seven games for Triple-A Toledo during his latest rehab outing, going 6-for-29 (.207) with four runs scored and two RBI, but he's shown enough to make his way back to the majors and will start in the outfield in his return. Trey Sweeney was optioned to Triple-A in a corresponding move to make room on the 26-man roster for Vierling.

Impact Vierling has worked his way up from serving as the DH to seeing some time in the outfield, and he'll now shift over to third base. The team wants to see the 28-year-old take some reps at the hot corner and also play a bit more in the outfield before bringing him back to the majors. The Tigers lineup has done well in the absence of Vierling, so he may have to settle for more of a bench role initially, though he could eventually push for more playing time at third or in right field.

Recovered from illness Vierling (shoulder) will be in the lineup Wednesday with Triple-A Toledo after being scratched Sunday due to an illness, Evan Woodbery of MLive.com reports.

Impact Vierling had his rehab assignment slowed by the ailment but will return to game action after just a few days. The 28-year-old has gone 4-for-20 through five games of the rehab assignment and may not be far off from rejoining the big-league roster.
