by Jesse Garcia | Tigers Correspondent | Thu, Jun 27th 7:37am EDT
Matt Vierling went 2-for-4 in the Tigers' 6-2 loss to the Phillies, delivering a home run, a double, and driving in one run while scoring twice.
Fantasy Impact:
This performance highlighted Vierling's potential to contribute power and run production, albeit inconsistently. His season-long batting average sits at .254, with a modest wOBA of .313, indicating room for improvement in on-base skills, given his low walk rate of .044. Fantasy managers should view Vierling as a situational player, best utilized when matchups favor his power-hitting capabilities. His lack of stolen bases limits his appeal in categories leagues, making him a more viable option in deeper mixed leagues or AL-only formats where power is at a premium.
