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

EDGE Analysis

Vierling started each of the past five days after recently moving past a sore left foot, so he's likely just getting a maintenance day as the Tigers begin a four-game set with the Guardians. The 27-year-old had been splitting time between third base and the outfield of late, but he'll likely see most of his reps in the outfield for the foreseeable future after Parker Meadows (hamstring) was placed on the 10-day injured list Monday.

Vierling (foot) went 1-for-5 with a two-run home run and an additional run scored in Wednesday's 9-2 win over the Twins.

EDGE Analysis

Vierling had missed the last two games with a sore left foot, but he quickly got back up to speed as he recorded his career-best 11th home run of the season in the easy win. The 27-year-old has been a solid, versatile player for the Tigers the last two years, and while he's not the most exciting fantasy option, his steady playing time across the diamond does give him a path to steady value the rest of the way.

Vierling suffered the injury during Saturday's 6-5 extra-inning loss to the Angels, when he fouled a pitch off his foot in the top of the 10th. Preliminary X-rays came back clean, but the 27-year-old wasn't moving well in pregame workouts Sunday, per Chris McCosky of The Detroit News. Vierling should be considered day-to-day and will have Monday's team off day to aid in his recovery ahead of Tuesday's series opener in Minnesota.

EDGE Analysis

Vierling had made 13 consecutive starts and the Tigers are wrapping up their series with a day game after a night game, so the 27-year-old is presumably just getting some routine maintenance. With Vierling on the bench, the Tigers will open up a spot in the starting outfield for Akil Baddoo, who will man left and bat eighth.

Vierling went 2-for-4 with a solo home run and an additional run scored in Saturday's 13-5 win over the Astros.

EDGE Analysis

Vierling has homered twice over his last four contests, though both were solo shots that represent his only RBI since May 29. The outfielder is batting a modest .196 (10-for-51) over 12 contests in June, though he's still often hitting in the top third of the Tigers' lineup. Vierling is at a .266/.305/.468 slash line with nine homers, 30 RBI, 30 runs scored, nine doubles, four triples and no stolen bases through 63 games this year.

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

EDGE Analysis

Vierling will get a breather for the series opener, despite being one of the hottest hitters in the Detroit lineup at the moment. While starting each of the last seven games, Vierling recorded at least one hit and produced a .438/.455/.906 slash line overall. The 27-year-old should have a hold on a near-everyday role while he's sizzling at the plate, but his absence from the lineup Monday will open up a spot in the outfield for Akil Baddoo.

Vierling went 4-for-8 with two home runs, three runs scored and five RBI across both games of Wednesday's doubleheader split with the Pirates.

EDGE Analysis

Getting the start in center field in the opener and at third base in the second contest, Vierling was locked in at the plate no matter where he was stationed on the diamond. The 27-year-old crushed a three-run homer off Jared Jones in the fifth inning of an 8-0 win to kick off the twin bill, then launched a solo shot off Paul Skenes in the sixth inning of a 10-2 loss later in the afternoon. Vierling has four long balls among eight hits over his last three games, boosting his slash line on the season to .289/.320/.503 with seven homers, 22 runs and 28 RBI.
