Fantasy Impact:

Vierling’s rotator cuff strain rehab, with light March activities and Friday’s clearance for hitting and strengthening, keeps him on the Tigers’ IL to start, eyeing an April return. The 28-year-old advances steadily. Fantasy managers in deeper leagues should stash him, banking on his versatility for a mid-April boost to Detroit’s 2025 lineup if his shoulder recovery stays on track.
