Detroit Tigers outfielder Matt Vierling to miss Opening Day with right shoulder injury

DUNEDIN, Fla. — Detroit Tigers outfielder/third baseman Matt Vierling won’t make the Opening Day roster.

The 28-year-old has been diagnosed with a strained rotator cuff muscle in his right shoulder. The right shoulder injury calls for roughly three weeks of rest before being re-evaluated for baseball activities, so Vierling will miss the start of the 2025 season.

The Opening Day game for the Tigers is scheduled for March 27 — less than four weeks away — against the Los Angeles Dodgers at Dodger Stadium in Los Angeles.

“Given the timeline, he’s not going to be available for Opening Day,” manager A.J. Hinch said Friday morning. “The doctors have told us that he needs a period of rest, which is going to impact Opening Day. I don’t know anything more after that on how long. We’ll know more in a few weeks.”

In 2024, Vierling hit .257 with 16 home runs, 41 walks and 121 strikeouts across 144 games. He logged 401 innings in center field, 369⅓ innings at third base, 247 innings in right field and 91 innings in left field, plus two innings at first base. He made 50 of his 125 starts in the leadoff spot, along with 40 starts batting third.

Vierling is a leader in the Tigers’ clubhouse and will be missed in the lineup.

Detroit water main break snarls travel on East Jefferson Monday morning

Vehicles travel through water collected near water main break in Detroit.

DETROIT (FOX 2) – A water main break in Detroit is causing headaches for drivers and sending water into the streets of one of the city’s east side neighborhoods.

The break involves a 42-inch pipeline at East Jefferson and Burns Drive.

The breakage happened on Sunday, leaving only one lane open for each direction of travel.

Local perspective:

A day after the breakage, water was still gathering on the road of Jefferson Avenue.

Video captured of the scene Monday morning showed vehicles driving through ponds of water. Construction equipment were on site along with traffic cones.

The backstory:

This isn’t the only major disruption to water services in the region.

This weekend, a catastrophic breakage at 14 Mile near Drake impacted several Oakland County communities and thousands of residents.

Novi and Walled Lake were among those hardest hit by the breakage, which included dramatic scenes of waves of water washing down the road, submerging vehicles.

A water main break in Detroit Saturday night has forced lane closures on a road on the city’s east side, according to city officials.

The incident on East Jefferson Avenue near Burns Avenue was reported around 9 p.m. Officials said a 42-inch water main in the area ruptured.

“Crews responded immediately early Sunday morning to shut off the main and to begin preparing for repairs,” Detroit officials said in a news release.

All residents in the area should have service “due to redundancy in the water system,” according to officials. Anyone who doesn’t is asked to call the Detroit Water and Sewerage Department at 313-267-8000.

As of Sunday afternoon, the city has not issued a boil water advisory and says there are no issues with street flooding.

Repairs are expected to begin on Monday and officials estimate they will be completed “around the middle of the week.”

One lane in each direction of East Jefferson Avenue will remain open at and around the area of the break until repairs are done, and bike lanes at the repair location will be closed.

Officials are asking motorists who drive through the area to budget additional time for their commute or seek an alternate route until all lanes reopen.
