Detroit Tigers outfield prospect Riley Greene (foot) is moving his minor league rehab assignment from Single-A Lakeland to Triple-A Toledo on Monday. In two games with Lakeland, the Tigers top prospect went 2-for-6 with two RBI and a stolen base. Greene fractured his right foot at the tail end of spring training and likely would've opened the year with the Tigers. With Robbie Grossman, Austin Meadows and Victor Reyes all injured as well, the Tigers would love to have the No. 2 prospect in all of baseball patrolling center field as soon as possible. The 21-year-old should take over starting center field duties by the end of this season, and he should be stashed now in most fantasy leagues if he's available.

Greene fractured his right foot at the end of spring training and is just now getting back to game action. The No. 2 overall prospect in all of baseball, per MLB Pipeline, is expected to eventually claim the Tigers starting center field job this year, so fantasy managers need to know his name. The 21-year-old was in line to make the Opening Day roster before his injury, and his combination of power and speed should make him relevant in all fantasy formats before long. Greene will probably need a lengthy rehab assignment before the Tigers feel comfortable letting him make his major league debut.

Detroit Tigers rookie outfielder Riley Greene (foot) has another exam on his foot on Thursday, and if all goes well, he can start ramping up baseball activities. Greene fractured his right foot in early April in a spring training game, but he ditched his walking boot last week and appears to be making good progress. If he hadn't gotten injured right before the regular season, there was a chance that he would've been the team's everyday center fielder. The 21-year-old probably won't be able to make his season debut until June in a best-case scenario, but he should already be rostered in dynasty and AL-only leagues. Greene slashed .301/.387/.534 with a .921 OPS, 24 home runs, 84 RBI and 16 stolen bases in 124 games between Double-A Erie and Triple-A Toledo in 2021.

Detroit Tigers outfielder Riley Greene (foot) fractured his right foot during Spring Training. He was originally given a timeline of six to eight weeks, but according to a report from Lynn Henning of The Detroit News, Greene's recovery will likely take longer than originally estimated. The reasoning for the extended timeline has to do with the nature of the fracture. The navicular bone was the fractured bone and it was a non-displaced fracture. He will not be undergoing surgery and will have to wait for the bone to heal. While the 21-year-old prospect is out, the Tigers will move forward with Akil Baddoo as the team's primary center fielder.

Now that the Detroit Tigers added outfielder Austin Meadows to their outfield mix, prospect Riley Greene (foot) will be the team's starting center fielder when he's healthy.

The 21-year-old had a .953 OPS in 185 plate appearances for Triple-A Toledo last year The No. 5 overall prospect in baseball, according to MLB Pipeline, has a solid hit tool from the left side of the plate, and Greene also has a solid approach that should allow him to take plenty of walks at the next level. Greene could wind up missing six to eight weeks to open the 2022 season.

Detroit Tigers outfield prospect Riley Greene (foot) was given a preliminary timetable of six to eight weeks after he fractured his foot while fouling a ball off himself in the Grapefruit League game on Friday, according to a source. The good news is that the fracture is on the bottom part of his foot, which could mean a slightly shorter recovery period. Greene will likely have to rehab in the minors for a bit before the Tigers consider allowing him to make his MLB debut. The 21-year-old was pushing to open the year on the Opening Day roster alongside fellow prospect Spencer Torkelson before his injury. Greene profiles as Detroit's eventual starting center fielder with intriguing power upside, but for now, Victor Reyes will likely open the season as the Tigers starter in center.

Greene was having a nice spring before fouling a ball off his foot in the Grapefruit League game against the New York Yankees on Thursday.

Updating a previous report, Detroit Tigers outfield prospect Riley Greene (foot) exited Friday's Grapefruit League game against the New York Yankees early after fouling a ball off the inside part of his foot in the third inning.

Detroit Tigers outfield prospect Riley Greene left the Grapefruit League game against the New York Yankees early on Friday with an undisclosed injury. Greene was seen limping down the right field line with a trainer while heading to the locker room, but it's unclear exactly what the injury is. The 21-year-old has been stating his case to be on Detroit's Opening Day roster this spring, but this injury could end his chances and cause him to begin the season in the minor leagues. The No. 5 overall prospect in baseball, per MLB Pipeline, had a triple off starter Gerrit Cole in the game before departing. Greene, a left-handed hitter, should eventually be the team's starting center fielder, and he has raw power and a mature approach at the plate.

Detroit Tigers manager A.J. Hinch said that top prospects Spencer Torkelson and Riley Greene aren't locks to make the team's Opening Day roster. "They still have things to do to make this team. I can't put it any more simply than that," Hinch said. Torkelson, a corner infielder, and Greene, an outfielder, are the Tigers top two prospects, respectively. Torkelson hit eighth in a Grapefruit League game last week and could begin the season in that spot while playing first base. The 22-year-old projects for elite power, but fantasy managers should expect some growing pains in his rookie season. Greene, 21, could become the team's starting center fielder at some point in 2021 if he begins the year in the minor leagues.

According to Detroit Tigers general manager Al Avila, the team's top two prospects, first baseman Spencer Torkelson and outfielder Riley Greene, will not be kept in the minors in order to save money for the franchise. Avila explained that the team will decide its Opening Day roster solely by determining which players help build the best team. He stated, "When, in my opinion, a player is ready to come up and the team is ready to go, there's no reason to hold a player back." Torkelson and Greene both have considerable upside as both fantasy players and real life MLB players. Keep an eye on their progress this spring. If either of them start to excel, then you may want to consider adding them in the late rounds of your draft.

He suffered a concussion in a game about a week ago while playing for the Tigers' Triple-A affiliate, the Toledo Mud Hens. He was supposed to compete in the AFL with the Salt River Rafters, but instead the organization is being cautious with him. The 21-year-old is one of the team's top prospects. Over 124 games split between Double-A and Triple-A this year, he slashed .301/.387/.534 with 24 home runs, 16 stolen bases, 84 RBI and 95 runs. There's a good chance he'll make his highly-anticipated MLB debut with the Tigers next year.
