Vierling is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Blue Jays.
EDGE Analysis
Vierling will hit the bench after going 10-for-33 (.303 average) with five extra-base hits, six RBI and seven runs while starting in each of the Tigers' last eight games either in center field or at third base. Riley Greene will cover center field Sunday, while Gio Urshela moves across the diamond and gets the nod at the hot corner.

Vierling went 2-for-5 with a run scored in Saturday's 7-3 win over the Blue Jays.
EDGE Analysis
Vierling extended his hitting streak to four games, and he's batting .303 over his last eight contests. The utility player has settled into a regular role with the Tigers as he splits time between third base and the outfield. Vierling doesn't have the most exciting fantasy profile, though he's worth a look in deeper formats due to his playing time and versatility.

Vierling went 2-for-4 with a double, an RBI and a run scored in Thursday's 10-1 win over the Guardians.
EDGE Analysis
A day after going deep and driving in three runs, Vierling stayed locked in, extending his modest hitting streak to four games. For the season, the 27-year-old is batting .249 with a .729 OPS. While his production doesn't jump off the page, Vierling does see regular playing time for the Tigers across the field, giving him some degree of fantasy utility.

He has had a decent start to July, logging hits in five of seven contests with two home runs, five RBI and six runs scored.

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 was scratched from the lineup for Sunday's game against the Angels due to left foot soreness.
EDGE Analysis
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.
