Detroit Tigers outfielder Matt Vierling is not in the lineup for Friday's series opener against right-hander Pablo Lopez and the Minnesota Twins.
Vierling will take a seat after leading off against a lefty last game. Parker Meadows will return to center field and hit seventh, while Riley Greene will bat leadoff for Detroit.
numberFire's models project Meadows for 8.4 FanDuel points on Friday. Greene is projected for 9.7 FanDuel points. Per our MLB Heat Map, the Tigers have the third-worst implied total (3.58) in the majors today, while the game total (7.0) is the lowest on the board.
