Vierling is out of the lineup for Monday's game against the Giants.

EDGE Analysis

Vierling will head to the bench for Monday's make-up game after he started in all three of the Tigers' contests with the Padres over the weekend while going a collective 2-for-12 at the dish. While Vierling rests, Kerry Carpenter will pick up a start in right field and Miguel Cabrera will enter the lineup at designated hitter.

Vierling isn't in the Tigers' lineup Saturday against the Mariners.

EDGE Analysis

Vierling is 0-for-8 across his last three games, so he'll get a day off Saturday to regroup. Akil Baddoo, Riley Greene and Kerry Carpenter will man Detroit's outfield from left to right Saturday, and Miguel Cabrera will serve as the Tigers' designated hitter.

Vierling is out of the lineup for Sunday's game versus the Blue Jays.

EDGE Analysis

Vierling started the past nine games and will receive a day off after he hit .364/.432/.485 during that span. Kerry Carpenter will man right field while Miguel Cabrera serves as the designated hitter.

Vierling went 3-for-4 with an RBI in Friday's loss to the Blue Jays.

EDGE Analysis

Vierling was the only Detroit player with multiple hits, giving him his third multi-hit effort across his last five games. The outfielder has been solid in his first season with the Tigers, as he's now batting .284 with a .773 OPS. He should continue to hit near the top of the order, including as an occasional leadoff option.

Vierling went 2-for-4 with a walk, an RBI and two runs scored in Thursday's 8-5 win over the Rangers.

EDGE Analysis

Vierling served as an effective leadoff man for the Tigers and helped lead them to a series victory. The outfielder didn't play in Wednesday's contest, but he's otherwise batted first in three straight games. Zach McKinstry has been the team's other main leadoff option, though Vierling has been a bit better offensively this year with a .753 OPS versus .705 for McKinstry.

Vierling went 3-for-5 with a double and two runs scored in Monday's win over the Rangers.

EDGE Analysis

Vierling paced Detroit's offense from the leadoff spot in the 7-2 victory. The outfielder missed some time with a back injury this month, though he's shown no ill effects, as he's batting .429 in 13 games since returning. Vierling has been batting lower in the order recently, but his strong effort Monday could help him stick atop the lineup moving forward.

Vierling isn't in the Tigers' lineup Saturday against the Twins.

EDGE Analysis

Vierling is 2-for-7 with two RBI and a run scored since returning from back issues that kept him out of the lineup three straight games. He'll get a breather Saturday, as the Tigers will have Kerry Carpenter, Jake Marisnick and Zach McKinstry in the outfield from left to right.

Vierling (back) will start in center field and bat seventh in Wednesday's game against the Royals.

EDGE Analysis

Vierling will check back into the Detroit outfield after a bout with back spasms kept him on the bench each of the past three games. Now that Vierling is ostensibly healthy again, Jake Marisnick will likely move back into a fourth-outfielder role.

Vierling (back) isn't starting Tuesday against the Royals.

EDGE Analysis

Vierling will now miss his third consecutive start since being scratched ahead of Sunday's game due to back spasms. It's unclear when he will return, but an IL move perhaps won't be necessary. Jake Marisnick will start in center field Tuesday batting ninth, and Andy Ibanez will get the nod in right while batting third.

Vierling (back) is out of the lineup for Monday's game against the Royals.

EDGE Analysis

Vierling was scratched ahead of Sunday's 6-4 win over the Twins after experiencing back spasms, and he'll get at least one more day off to recover from the injury. With Vierling on the bench Monday, the Tigers will roll out an outfield of Andy Ibanez, Zach McKinstry and Kerry Carpenter from left to right.
