VIerling is not in the lineup for Tuesday's contest against Atlanta.

EDGE Analysis

Vierling played center field in his first game back from the injured list Monday but will begin this one on the bench. The Tigers are going with Jake Marisnick in center and Zach McKinstry in right against Spencer Strider.

The Tigers activated Vierling (back) from the 10-day injured list Monday. He'll start in center field and bat sixth in Detroit's series opener with Atlanta.

EDGE Analysis

Vierling has been sidelined since late May with a back issue but is ready to roll following a short rehab assignment. He's seen most of his action in right field this season, but he could end up settling into a regular role in center for the time being while Riley Greene (lower leg) is likely multiple weeks away from a return from the IL.

Vierling (back) returned to Detroit on Sunday and could be reinstated from the 10-day injured list ahead of Monday's series opener with Atlanta, Chris McCosky of The Detroit News reports.

EDGE Analysis

Vierling met with team trainers and manager A.J. Hinch in what appeared to be a final checkup after he completed a two-game rehab assignment with Triple-A Toledo on Friday and Saturday. Assuming Vierling's back issue is no longer causing him problems, he should immediately step into a near-everyday role in the Detroit outfield once activated.

Vierling (back) will begin a rehab assignment with Triple-A Toledo on Friday, Cody Stavenhagen of The Athletic reports.

EDGE Analysis

Vierling began working out in Toledo on Thursday and will officially return to game action Friday. The 26-year-old outfielder will presumably get a handful of plate appearances in the minors before rejoining the Tigers early next week.

Vierling (back) began workouts at Triple-A Toledo on Thursday, Jason Beck of MLB.com reports.

EDGE Analysis

That would indicate that Vierling might be cleared to play in minor-league rehab games this weekend and could perhaps return to the Tigers' active roster early next week. The 26-year-old outfielder has been on the 10-day injured list since May 30 due to lower back soreness.

Vierling (back) tracked pitches during Matt Manning's (foot) live batting practice session Tuesday, Chris McCosky of The Detroit News reports.

EDGE Analysis

It's not clear when Vierling might be ready to swing a bat again, but it's at least a small step forward that he's been cleared to do some activity. He's been sidelined since late May with lower-back soreness.

Vierling was placed on the 10-day injured list by the Tigers on Tuesday with lower back soreness, Cody Stavenhagen of The Athletic reports.

EDGE Analysis

Vierling was a late scratch from Monday's lineup due to the injury and a day later he's now on the IL. He'll be eligible to return in early June, but it's not clear at this point whether he'll be ready by then. Zach McKinstry could see more action in the outfield with Vierling out, although Kerry Carpenter (shoulder) is due back soon from his own IL stint.

Vierling was scratched from the lineup Monday against the Rangers with back soreness, Evan Petzold of the Detroit Free Press reports.

EDGE Analysis

After he was initially reported to be in the lineup, Vierling will sit out Monday's contest with a back injury. The 26-year-old said that he needs some rest, suggesting that the injury isn't a major concern. Zach McKinstry will take over in right field while Zack Short enters the lineup at third base and bats ninth in the series opener with Texas.

Vierling will sit Saturday against the White Sox.

EDGE Analysis

Vierling sits after starting eight straight games, a stretch in which he hit .344 with a pair of homers. Even after that hot streak, however, he's hitting just .247/.300/.361 on the year. Zach McKinstry starts in right field Saturday.
