Detroit Tigers outfielder Matt Vierling is nursing a strained right rotator cuff and will not be ready by Opening Day, manager A.J. Hinch said Friday.
The team announced that Vierling, 28, will complete a period of rest before being re-evaluated for baseball activities.
Vierling batted .257 with career highs in homers (16), doubles (28), RBIs (57) and runs (80) in 144 games with the Tigers in 2024.
He is a career .259 hitter with 34 homers and 139 RBIs in 429 games with the Philadelphia Phillies (2021-22) and Tigers.
Detroit opens the season with a three-game road series against the defending World Series champion Los Angeles Dodgers from March 27-29.
