Vierling is not in the lineup for the second game of Friday's doubleheader versus the Guardians, Evan Woodbery of MLive.com reports.

EDGE Analysis

Vierling reached base twice as the Tigers took the first game of the double dip, but he'll begin the nightcap on the bench. Zack Short is at third base.

Vierling went 3-for-5 with a triple, an RBI and two runs scored in Wednesday's victory over the Twins.

EDGE Analysis

Vierling's been swinging a hot bat of late -- he's now hit safely in six straight games while going 14-for-41 (.341) over his last 10 contests. The 26-year-old Vierling has seen regular playing time with the Tigers this season, and he's been making the most of it. His slash line is up to .272/.330/.394 with seven homers, 37 runs scored, 27 RBI and five steals across 348 plate appearances this season.

Vierling is absent from the lineup for Tuesday's game against the Twins.

EDGE Analysis

The Tigers are opting to use Kerry Carpenter in right field and Miguel Cabrera at designated hitter versus right-hander Sonny Gray. Vierling has actually hit righties better than lefties this season, but nearly all his days off have come when Detroit has faced a right-handed starting pitcher.

Vierling isn't in Detroit's lineup Saturday against Miami.

EDGE Analysis

Vierling will catch a breather Saturday after going 2-for-5 during Friday's series opener. His absence will allow Kerry Carpenter to start in right field while Miguel Cabrera serves as the Tigers' DH.

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

EDGE Analysis

Vierling will head to the bench for Monday's make-up game after he started in all three of the Tigers' contests with the Padres over the weekend while going a collective 2-for-12 at the dish. While Vierling rests, Kerry Carpenter will pick up a start in right field and Miguel Cabrera will enter the lineup at designated hitter.

Vierling isn't in the Tigers' lineup Saturday against the Mariners.

EDGE Analysis

Vierling is 0-for-8 across his last three games, so he'll get a day off Saturday to regroup. Akil Baddoo, Riley Greene and Kerry Carpenter will man Detroit's outfield from left to right Saturday, and Miguel Cabrera will serve as the Tigers' designated hitter.

Vierling is out of the lineup for Sunday's game versus the Blue Jays.

EDGE Analysis

Vierling started the past nine games and will receive a day off after he hit .364/.432/.485 during that span. Kerry Carpenter will man right field while Miguel Cabrera serves as the designated hitter.

Vierling went 3-for-4 with an RBI in Friday's loss to the Blue Jays.

EDGE Analysis

Vierling was the only Detroit player with multiple hits, giving him his third multi-hit effort across his last five games. The outfielder has been solid in his first season with the Tigers, as he's now batting .284 with a .773 OPS. He should continue to hit near the top of the order, including as an occasional leadoff option.

Vierling went 2-for-4 with a walk, an RBI and two runs scored in Thursday's 8-5 win over the Rangers.

EDGE Analysis

Vierling served as an effective leadoff man for the Tigers and helped lead them to a series victory. The outfielder didn't play in Wednesday's contest, but he's otherwise batted first in three straight games. Zach McKinstry has been the team's other main leadoff option, though Vierling has been a bit better offensively this year with a .753 OPS versus .705 for McKinstry.

Vierling went 3-for-5 with a double and two runs scored in Monday's win over the Rangers.

EDGE Analysis

Vierling paced Detroit's offense from the leadoff spot in the 7-2 victory. The outfielder missed some time with a back injury this month, though he's shown no ill effects, as he's batting .429 in 13 games since returning. Vierling has been batting lower in the order recently, but his strong effort Monday could help him stick atop the lineup moving forward.
