00:00How is your baseball season going? Detroit Tigers outfielder Matt Vierling landed on the 15-day

00:06injured list Sunday with a left oblique strain, jeopardizing his season just two days after his

00:11go-ahead three-run homer beat the Angels. Manager A.J. Hinch called the strain mild,

00:16but admitted the late timing complicates a return. The injury developed gradually during

00:21checked swings, worsening until post-game tests confirmed it. Vierling's Friday homer,

00:25his first since September 2023, offered hope after he missed most of the first half with a

00:30shoulder injury. Last year's 3.0 BWAR performer, with 16 home runs and 28 doubles, is frustrated

00:37according to Hinch. Detroit recalled Trey Sweeney from AAA Toledo, Javier Baez and Wensiel Perez will

00:42handle center field. Primary center fielder Parker Meadows out with a quad injury may return soon,

00:47but he lacks Vierling's platoon versatility. Do injuries hurt the Tigers' chances this year?
