Taking seat Sunday
Vierling is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the White Sox.
Analyse
Vierling had covered center field in each of the last three games, but he'll give way to James Outman in the series finale. Though Vierling will likely be prioritized in the lineup ahead of Outman against left-handed pitching, manager A.J. Hinch could lean on the hotter bat among the two players when the Tigers face righties. Since the start of June, Vierling has produced a lowly .143/.162/.314 slash line.

Homers in win
Vierling went 1-for-4 with a two-run home run in Friday's 4-3 win over the White Sox.
Analyse
Vierling got the scoring started for Detroit with a first-inning home run, his fifth of the season. The veteran has seen his playing time trend downward this month as the Tigers have tried using more players in center field. Vierling is versatile enough to pick up starts elsewhere in the field, but he'll need to improve upon his .201 batting average and .608 OPS to remain in the lineup most days.
