EDGE Analysis

EDGE Analysis

Vierling had to go back on the 10-day injured list in late May after just four games following a setback with his right shoulder. However, he has made encouraging progress of late and could be nearing a rehab assignment.

Vierling was cleared to resume a throwing progression Sunday after a series of scans on his right shoulder revealed no structural damage, Evan Petzold of The Detroit Free Press reports. ""Absolutely best-case scenario," Vierling said. "I was nervous. Luckily, the news came back - nothing serious."

EDGE Analysis

Vierling was fearful that he may need surgery to address the right shoulder injury that first cropped up during spring training, but with an MRI and follow-up scans confirming that he's merely dealing with inflammation, he expects to avoid a long-term absence. The Tigers aren't yet putting a timeline on Vierling's return, but the fact that he's already been cleared to start throwing again is an encouraging sign.

Vierling received an injection in his right shoulder Thursday and is expected to resume baseball activities within the next couple of days, Evan Petzold of the Detroit Free Press reports.

EDGE Analysis

Vierling started the season on the 10-day injured list after straining his right rotator cuff in late February. He returned to major-league action May 23, but after just four games he was back on the IL due to right shoulder inflammation. Vierling is close to resuming baseball activities, and how his shoulder reacts to more work will provide the Tigers a better timeline for the 28-year-old's return.

Vierling was placed on the 10-day injured list Tuesday with right shoulder inflammation, Evan Petzold of the Detroit Free Press reports.

EDGE Analysis

Vierling missed the first eight weeks of the season with a strained right rotator cuff muscle and played in only four big-league games before getting shut down again. Wenceel Perez was activated from the injured list in a corresponding move.

Vierling is starting in center field and batting seventh against the Guardians on Saturday.

EDGE Analysis

Vierling was activated from the 10-day injured list Friday and pinch hit in the ninth inning. He's fully recovered from a right rotator cuff strain that caused him to start the season on the 10-day injured list, and he'll make his first start of the 2025 campaign Saturday. Vierling slashed .257/.312/.423 with six steals, 16 home runs and 57 RBI across 567 plate appearances during the 2024 regular season.

The Tigers activated Vierling (shoulder) from the 10-day injured list Friday, Evan Petzold of the Detroit Free Press reports.

EDGE Analysis

Previous reports indicated Vierling could return as soon as Sunday, but the Tigers have elected to bring him back sooner. The 28-year-old is coming back from a right rotator cuff strain that he suffered in late February. Vierling has batted .206/.372/.441 with two home runs and one stolen base across 11 rehab games. The Tigers could ease him back into action, but Vierling should eventually be close to an everyday player between third base and the outfield.

Vierling (shoulder) could be activated from the 10-day injured list as soon as Sunday, Chris McCosky of The Detroit News reports.

EDGE Analysis

It sounds like Monday against the Giants is a likelier return date for Vierling, but he could be brought back a day earlier since the Tigers are slated to face lefty Logan Allen of the Guardians on Sunday. Vierling has been sidelined all season with a right rotator cuff strain but has played 11 rehab games, most recently playing all nine innings at third base Wednesday and another full game between third base and right field Thursday, both with Single-A Lakeland. The 28-year-old will have his rehab assignment shifted back to Triple-A Toledo on Friday.

Vierling (shoulder) played six innings in right field and went 0-for-3 in his rehab game with Triple-A Toledo on Sunday.

EDGE Analysis

Though he made his fifth rehab appearance for Toledo on Sunday, Vierling played defense for the first time after going 3-for-10 with a pair of home runs, a double and five walks as a designated hitter through his first four games. Since Vierling is likely to see most of his playing time in center field or at third base once he returns from the 10-day injured list, the Tigers will likely want him to remain with Toledo this week to gain more exposure to both positions prior to activating him. If all goes well, Vierling could come off the IL early next week, according to MLB.com. Vierling has been on the shelf all season due to the right rotator cuff strain he suffered early in spring training.
