Vierling is not in the lineup for Thursday's game versus the Angels, Evan Petzold of the Detroit Free Press reports.

Vierling will get a standard day of rest after starting the last three games and six of the previous seven contests. Zach McKinstry, Parker Meadows and Kerry Carpenter will patrol the outfield, and Riley Greene will occupy the designated-hitter slot as the Tigers try to complete the sweep and extend their winning streak to seven games.

Vierling went 2-for-3 with a solo homer and three runs in Saturday's 13-4 win against the White Sox.
EDGE Analysis
Vierling scored each time he reached base on Saturday, his third game this season with three or more runs. Vierling has been hot as of late, with multi-hit games in six of his last 13 and hitting .327 over that span. The 27-year-old has 15 home runs and 49 RBI this season, both the second most among Tigers players behind Riley Greene.

Vierling went 2-for-4 with a walk, a double and two RBI in Friday's 5-2 win over the White Sox.
EDGE Analysis
Vierling extended his hitting streak to three games and he's having a nice August, batting .286 for the month. The utility player is batting .255 overall with a .728 OPS. He's mostly been playing in the outfield lately, including his start in right Friday, though he's mixing in occasional time at third base. Vierling's versatility should continue to get him in on the field most days for the Tigers.

Vierling is absent from the lineup for Thursday's contest versus the Mariners.
EDGE Analysis
Vierling looks to be receiving a routine day off after he picked up three hits, stole a base and scored three runs in the first two games of the series. Akil Baddoo will get the start in right field for the Tigers while Vierling heads to the bench.

Vierling went 2-for-4 with a double, a solo home run, an additional run scored and two total RBI in Sunday's 5-4 win over the Giants
EDGE Analysis
Vierling started the game with a leadoff home run, his 14th long ball of the season. The utility player is setting a new career best with each blast, and he now has a career high 46 RBI this year as well. His .737 OPS would also be his best since recording an .843 mark across 34 games with the Phillies during his 2021 rookie campaign. Vierling should continue to see regular playing time for the Tigers in the outfield and at third base, giving him decent fantasy value as long as he stays productive at the plate.

Vierling (back) will bat leadoff as the Tigers' designated hitter Sunday against the Giants.
EDGE Analysis
The 27-year-old sat out the past two games after he exited Thursday's 4-3 loss to the Mariners due to lower-back spasms, but he'll return to action Sunday in a non-defensive role. Vierling is batting .333 through six games in August but is in the midst of a 14-game home-run drought.
