Matt Vierling Back In Action Against Royals
2 years agoDetroit Tigers outfielder Matt Vierling (back) has returned to the starting lineup on Wednesday to take on the Kansas City Royals and right-hander Brady Singer. Vierling had his back spasms flare up on Sunday and missed the last three games as a result, but he is back in the lineup on Wednesday and is starting in center field and hitting seventh in the batting order. The 26-year-old has been decent in his first year in Detroit, hitting .262 (48-for-183) with seven home runs, seven doubles, 19 RBI, four stolen bases and 19 runs scored in 53 games (199 plate appearances) in just his third MLB season. He's been hot so far in June, going 9-for-21 (.429) with three homers, a double and four RBI in seven games played.
