Vilade is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Giants.

Vilade had started in right field in each of the past three games, but he went hitless with five strikeouts in nine at-bats and is now slashing .178/.208/.244 over 49 plate appearances with the Tigers on the season. With Matt Vierling (back) returning to the lineup at designated hitter Sunday and likely to return to the outfield in the near future, Vilade will likely return to a reserve role.
