Matt Vierling's season debut was delayed due to a right rotator cuff strain, limiting him to just four games before shoulder inflammation placed him on the injured list again. Recent medical evaluation revealed only inflammation, allowing Vierling to start throwing and work towards recovery. He plays a crucial utility role for the Tigers and his return is anticipated as other injured players have started to come back, which could help balance the left-heavy lineup.
I was nervous it might be something more serious, but the MRI showed that everything was fine structurally....I will start throwing [Sunday] and build up from there.
Vierling also noted that he received an injection in his shoulder during his appointment.
Vierling filled a multi-positional role for Detroit in 2023-24 by suiting up at third base and at all three outfield positions.
His right-handed bat can help balance out a Tigers lineup that is still heavy in left-handed hitters.
