Matt Vierling of the Detroit Tigers has been placed back on the injured list due to ongoing issues with his right shoulder, just four days after returning from a previous stint. Manager A.J. Hinch indicated that Vierling's injury is not linked to a specific event but instead stems from recurring soreness. The Tigers have activated Wenceel Pérez from the 60-day injured list to fill the gap left by Vierling, as he makes his 2025 season debut.

Pérez's return is seen as a major boost for the Tigers, as he brings energy and positivity to the clubhouse. The team emphasizes the importance of maintaining his health, especially given Vierling's difficult recovery from a rotator cuff strain that kept him sidelined since February.
