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

EDGE Analysis

Vierling is 2-for-7 with two RBI and a run scored since returning from back issues that kept him out of the lineup three straight games. He'll get a breather Saturday, as the Tigers will have Kerry Carpenter, Jake Marisnick and Zach McKinstry in the outfield from left to right.

EDGE Analysis

Vierling will now miss his third consecutive start since being scratched ahead of Sunday's game due to back spasms. It's unclear when he will return, but an IL move perhaps won't be necessary. Jake Marisnick will start in center field Tuesday batting ninth, and Andy Ibanez will get the nod in right while batting third.

Vierling is starting in right field and batting first in Saturday's game against the Twins.

EDGE Analysis

With Zach McKinstry on the bench, the Tigers will turn to Vierling in the leadoff spot. The latter has consecutive three-hit games, pushing his season batting average to .268, and he could see more opportunities at the top of the order if he stays hot at the plate. Vierling has also chipped in four stolen bases this season, though he has been caught stealing five times.

Vierling went 3-for-3 with a walk, an RBI and a run scored in Thursday's win over the Twins.

EDGE Analysis

Vierling also got picked off when he left too early trying to steal second base, but it was a positive night overall. He started in center field before shifting over to right when Jake Marisnick entered as a defensive replacement. With Riley Greene (fibula) out, Vierling should remain a lineup staple most days. Even when Greene eventually returns, Vierling figures to be the top option in right.

Vierling is not in the starting lineup for Game 1 of Wednesday's doubleheader with Atlanta.

EDGE Analysis

Vierling will remain on the bench for a second straight game after being activated from the 10-day injured list Monday. Jake Marisnick will draw the start in center field and bat ninth in the matinee Wednesday.

VIerling is not in the lineup for Tuesday's contest against Atlanta.

EDGE Analysis

EDGE Analysis

Vierling has been sidelined since late May with a back issue but is ready to roll following a short rehab assignment. He's seen most of his action in right field this season, but he could end up settling into a regular role in center for the time being while Riley Greene (lower leg) is likely multiple weeks away from a return from the IL.
