Tigers outfielder Matt Vierling went 1-for-4 with a stolen base and a run scored in a 3-2 win over the Blue Jays on Friday.
Fantasy Impact
Vierling had a quiet night at the plate until the bottom of the ninth, when he singled, stole second base, and scored on Spencer Torkelson's walk-off hit into the right-center field gap. Despite possessing some speed, Vierling has swiped just two bases on the season and is slashing a rather poor .202/.274/.346 with two homers across 117 trips to the plate.

Fantasy Impact

The Tigers and Matt Vierling have agreed to a one-year deal, avoiding arbitration.
Fantasy Impact
Vierling suited up for just 31 games last year due to injury, but is versatile enough for the Tigers to keep around for the 2026 season. He will look to solidify his role in spring training.
