Matt Vierling Missing Another Game On Tuesday
5 months agoDetroit Tigers outfielder Matt Vierling (foot) is out of the starting lineup for the second straight game on Tuesday for the series opener against the division-rival Minnesota Twins. Vierling was scratched from Sunday's lineup with left-foot soreness, but X-rays came back clean, so he's considered day-to-day for now. Check back on Wednesday to see if he's available to play in the second game of this series in Minnesota. The 27-year-old was hit by a pitch in his foot on Saturday. With Vierling missing another game, Akil Baddoo will draw into left field on Tuesday and will bat seventh versus Twins rookie right-hander Simeon Woods Richardson. Fantasy managers setting DFS lineups should look to avoid Baddoo, who has gone 5-for-45 (.111) this year with two homers and four RBI in a reserve role for Detroit.
