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.

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.

EDGE Analysis
Lower-back spasms forced Vierling to make an early exit from Thursday's game, but the issue seems to have subsided ahead of Friday's contest. The 27-year-old has begun to heat up at the plate recently, going 8-for-27 (.296) with two RBI since the beginning of August.

Vierling went 3-for-5 with an RBI, two runs scored and a stolen base in Wednesday's win over the Mariners.
EDGE Analysis
Vierling singled in each of his first two at-bats, coming around to score on a Bligh Madris' double following the latter hit as Detroit jumped out to a 2-0 lead. The outfielder would later drive home and score a run in the ninth to extend the Tigers' lead, increasing his average to .333 (8-for-24) in August. Vierling has tallied multiple hits in back-to-back games and has hit safely in five of six contests to open the month. The stolen base was his third of the season, with all three coming over his last 10 games.
