Matt Vierling (shoulder) cleared to begin throwing program

The Tigers announced Tuesday that Matt Vierling (shoulder) has been cleared to begin a return-to-play throwing program, reports Evan Woodbery of MLive.com. Vierling, who is recovering from a right shoulder strain suffered early in spring, had already resumed hitting and non-throwing defensive work.

Fantasy Impact

Starting to throw is a key step for Vierling (shoulder). He still requires build-up and a rehab assignment, likely targeting a late April/early May return best-case. A near-everyday role awaits, so continue stashing him on IL.

Matt Vierling (shoulder) has yet to begin throwing

Matt Vierling (shoulder) said Friday he has not yet started a throwing program as he recovers from a right rotator cuff strain, per Cody Stavenhagen of The Athletic. While Vierling has resumed hitting and defensive drills, he still needs to build more shoulder strength before being cleared to throw.

Fantasy Impact

Still needing to strengthen his shoulder before starting to throw, Vierling remains weeks away from a potential return. His recovery from the rotator cuff strain appears slow, keeping him off the fantasy radar in most leagues.
