Matt Vierling of Detroit Tigers Placed on 10-Day Injured List Due to Right Shoulder Inflammation

Matt Vierling's absence may shift the Tigers' center field options. With his recent playing time, he was showing some promise, hitting .417 in his last three games. Riley Greene and Wenceel Pérez are likely to cover center field duties while Vierling recovers.

His injury comes after dealing with shoulder problems earlier this season. The shoulder inflammation could affect his return timeline. During the 2025 season, Vierling has posted a .182 batting average over four games, which highlights his early struggles at the plate.
