The Detroit Tigers plan is to activate outfielder Riley Greene (leg) from the 10-day injured list on Saturday, according to manager A.J. Hinch. Greene is expected to serve as the designated hitter against the Toronto Blue Jays and right-hander Kevin Gausman. The 22-year-old will be returning from a five-week absence due to a stress reaction in his left fibula. He should be swooped up off the waiver wire in all fantasy leagues where he's available. Greene went 6-for-12 with a home run and a double on his three-game minor-league rehab assignment and was hitting an impressive .296 (60-for-203) with five home runs, nine doubles, three triples, 18 RBI, six stolen bases and 29 runs scored in 52 games played before his injury as Detroit's regular center fielder.

Detroit Tigers outfielder Riley Greene (leg) will play in the outfield in a minor-league rehab game with Triple-A Toledo on Thursday, and he could return from the 10-day injured list this weekend. Greene is attempting to return from a stress fracture in his left fibula, and he's gone 5-for-9 so far in his first two rehab games for Toledo. The 22-year-old second-year player will return to starting center-field duties for the Tigers when he's deemed fully healthy, and he should be rostered in all fantasy leagues for his ability to contribute in multiple categories. Before his injury, Greene was slashing .296/.362/.443 with an .805 OPS, five home runs, nine doubles, three triples, 18 RBI, six stolen bases and 29 runs scored in 52 games.

Detroit Tigers outfielder Riley Greene (leg) started his minor-league rehab assignment on Monday with Triple-A Toledo. Greene has been out since May 30 after suffering a stress fracture in his left fibula, but he's getting closer to a return to the major-league level. The 22-year-old will take this week to get back up to speed in minor-league contests, and barring any setbacks, he should be ready to rock for the start of the second half of the season after next week's All-Star break. When healthy, Greene is Detroit's starting center fielder. He should be rostered more than the 55 percent that he currently is in Yahoo leagues. Before his injury, Greene was hitting an impressive .296/.362/.443 with an .805 OPS, five home runs, 18 RBI, six steals and 29 runs scored in 52 games in his second MLB campaign.

Detroit Tigers manager A.J. Hinch hinted that outfielders Riley Greene (leg) and Akil Baddoo (quadriceps) could be nearing minor-league rehab assignments this week. "They might not be on this road trip the entire time," Hinch said. Both Greene and Baddoo have intensified their daily workouts and could join Triple-A Toledo this weekend. Greene, 22, is recovering from a stress fracture in his left fibula and has been out for all of June, so he'll need at least a handful of rehab games before the Tigers deem him ready to return to action in the big leagues. Barring a setback, he should be back for fantasy managers in early July. Greene is a lineup regular for Detroit when healthy, and he was slashing a strong .296/.362/.443 with an .805 OPS, five home runs and six RBI at the time of his injury.

Detroit Tigers outfielder Riley Greene (leg) was spotted playing catch on Friday without an air cast. That is good news as Greene works his way back from a stress reaction in his left fibula. The left-handed slugger has been sidelined since the end of May, but hopefully won't miss too much more time. It sounds like he has been making progress, but he still has a little bit more to do. At this point, Greene returning in mid-July would be the best case scenario. Fantasy managers will have to stay tuned for more updates on his status.

Detroit Tigers outfielder Riley Greene (leg) is completing a return-to-play running progression and is also playing catch and hitting flips in the batting cages. Greene is attempting to return from a stress fracture in his left fibula and is still wearing an air cast, so he's still a ways away from making a return to the big leagues. There is no current timetable for his return, but fantasy managers should fully expect the 22-year-old to return after the All-Star break in mid-July. The young left-handed hitter will return to an everyday role in Detroit's outfield when he's ready, though, as he was batting a strong .296 (60-for-203) with nine doubles, three triples, five homers, 18 RBI, six stolen bases and 29 runs scored in 52 games before the injury in just his second major-league season.

Detroit Tigers outfielder Riley Greene (leg) began playing catch on Tuesday, according to MLB.com, a necessary step in the rehab process. The former top prospect has been on the shelf since sustaining a stress fracture in his left fibula during a game on May 30. Greene looked to be breaking out before the ailment, slashing .296/.362/.443 with five homers, 29 runs, 18 RBI, and six steals over 52 games. Fantasy managers shouldn't expect to have the 22-year-old back until at least the beginning of July. In the meantime, Jake Marisnick will likely keep getting the majority of reps in center, but he's batting just .167 through 15 games and owns a career .663 OPS.

The Detroit Tigers placed outfielder Riley Greene (leg) on the 10-day injured list on Wednesday with a stress fracture in his left fibula. Greene will get a second opinion, and there is no timetable for his return. Greene injured his left leg in the outfield on Tuesday against the Texas Rangers. He'll be out well beyond the 10 days and could eventually need to be moved to the 60-day injured list, so fantasy managers can only sit tight and keep him stashed for the foreseeable future. It's a tough break, as the 22-year-old was hitting a strong .296 (60-for-203) with nine doubles, three triples, five home runs, 18 RBI and six stolen bases in 52 games in his second MLB season. Matt Vierling (back) is also hurt, prompting the Tigers to trade for Jake Marisnick on Tuesday.

Detroit Tigers outfielder Riley Greene (leg) left Tuesday's game against the Texas Rangers in the third inning after feeling discomfort in his lower left leg, according to Evan Petzold of the Detroit Free Press. Before his exit, the youngster was 0-for-1 with a strikeout, but he's enjoyed a strong campaign thus far with the bat, slashing .296/.362/.443 with five bombs, 29 runs, 18 RBI, and six steals over 52 games. Fantasy managers should consider Greene day-to-day, and it'll be a tough blow if he's forced to miss time. Stay tuned for more info.

Detroit Tigers outfielder Riley Greene went 2-for-4 with a home run and an additional run scored as the team held off a furious Washington Nationals comeback to win 8-6 on Friday. The 22-year-old is riding a modest five-game hitting streak, but more importantly, he's now 8-for-13 in his last three games. Greene is beginning to percolate after a very nondescript rookie showing a year ago. The former top prospect has raised all of his hitting averages from that campaign, and he's now up to .296/.349/.432 on the season. Greene also has four round trippers, 16 RBI, and five stolen bags in 2023. The 2019 fifth-overall pick is starting to see his dynasty stock in fantasy boom, too, while hitting .418/.458/.636 in 55 at-bats during May. He should be owned in most redraft leagues at this point as well.

Detroit Tigers outfielder Riley Greene is starting Tuesday's game against the Milwaukee Brewers on the bench. It's a good time to give the heavily-used Greene a breather against Brewers left-hander Eric Lauer while his sophomore season has been a struggle of late. The 22-year-old is hitting just .224 alongside two homers, two stolen bases, and a .624 OPS across 92 trips to the plate. Greene has started the first 21 games of the season for the Tigers, hitting either second or third in the batting order but he's collected just one hit over his last three games with six strikeouts in 14 trips to the plate in that time. Matt Vierling will take over for Greene in center field and hit leadoff in game two against the Brewers.

Detroit Tigers outfielder Riley Greene is scheduled to hit third in the club's lineup on Opening Day against the Tampa Bay Rays. Green debuted at the age of 21 with five home runs, one stolen base, a .683 OPS, and 98 wRC+ in the 2022 season but expectations are much bigger this time around. The lefty-swinging Greene enjoyed a big spring that saw him hit .308 with four HR, two doubles, a triple, and a .960 OPS across 52 Grapefruit League at-bats. Green routinely hit for plenty of average and power throughout his rise to the big leagues after being taken with the fifth overall pick of the 2019 draft. He could move into the two-hole against righties but will settle into the third spot as the Tigers take on Rays left-hander Shane McClanahan Thursday.

Detroit Tigers outfielder Riley Greene isn't in the team's lineup on Wednesday for a matchup with the Los Angeles Angels and left-handed starter Patrick Sandoval. Greene is hitting .254 with a .315 on-base percentage, five home runs, and a stolen base in 311 plate appearances this season. Instead, it'll be Willi Castro starting in center field and hitting leadoff. Castro is batting .245 this season with a .290 on-base percentage, six home runs, and seven stolen bases in 352 plate appearances for Detroit. Fantasy managers in search of streaming options are probably best off looking elsewhere.

Detroit Tigers rookie outfielder Riley Greene has been on a tear recently, including Thursday against the Seattle Mariners, when he was 2-for-4 with a pair of singles in the 7-0 loss. Over his last 15 contests, the 21-year-old is slashing .323/.382/.519 with two home runs. The season still hasn't been kind to Greene, who is batting .257 with five homers, 29 RBI, 36 runs and one stolen base across 65 games. He should be left on the waiver wire in standard leagues, even with him leading off every day, although he should be stashed in dynasty leagues with the potential to contribute in every category.

Detroit Tigers outfielder Riley Greene had a couple of hits in five at-bats during Tuesday's 6-4 loss to the San Diego Padres. They were both singles, but he also drove in a run. Greene is slashing .244/.320/.348 with two home runs, 19 runs, 13 RBI, and a stolen base over 33 games. There was a lot of hype surrounding the 21-year-old, so his numbers have been a bit disappointing. However, Greene is a rookie and can't be expected to be fantasy relevant right away.

Detroit Tigers outfielder Riley Greene put together a solid performance during Friday's game against the Cleveland Guardians. The rookie outfielder went 2-for-5 with a home run and three RBI in what ended up being a loss for Detroit. He's hitting .252/.357/.369 with two homers, 11 RBI through 26 games. The 21-year-old is the top prospect in baseball and is becoming an intriguing fantasy option.

Detroit Tigers outfielder Riley Greene will be hitting leadoff for the first time in his career in Friday's game against right-hander Brad Keller and the Kansas City Royals. Greene, who is one of the top prospects in all of baseball, is off to a nice start to his MLB career. Over 10 games, he's gone 10-for-35 with a stolen base and seven runs scored. He's walked eight times while striking out just six times. The 21-year-old has just one extra-base hit so far (a double), but he certainly showed power potential in the minors. Last year, Over 124 games split between Double-A and Triple-A, he compiled 24 homers, 25 doubles and eight triples. He's worth a speculative add in just about all fantasy leagues if he's still out there on the waiver wire.

Detroit Tigers outfield prospect Riley Greene is starting in center field and is hitting in the two-hole on Wednesday against Boston Red Sox right-hander Michael Wacha. Greene got a late start in 2022 after fracturing his ankle late in spring training, but he made his MLB debut last Saturday and has gone 5-for-12 (.417) with three runs scored in his first four major league games. With the hot start, he's already earned a move up the batting order, and the two-hole is obviously much more attractive from a fantasy standpoint for the 21-year-old. Before his call-up, Greene was the No. 2 overall prospect in all of baseball, per MLB Pipeline, and he should be rostered in all fantasy formats at this point.

The Detroit Tigers are calling up outfield prospect Riley Greene on Friday, and he'll make his major league debut on Saturday against the Texas Rangers. In a corresponding move, outfielder Austin Meadows will be placed on the COVID-19 injured list. Greene, the No. 2 overall prospect in baseball per MLB Pipeline, was on his way to making the Opening Day roster before fracturing his foot late in spring training. The 21-year-old hit .279/.347/.382 with a homer, eight RBI and four stolen bases in 17 games for Triple-A Toledo and Single-A Lakeland, and he should see everyday playing time in center field for the Tigers. Grab him immediately in all fantasy leagues if he's available. Meadows recently returned from a bout on the lL due to vertigo, and now he's dealing with COVID. He still hasn't gone deep in 128 at-bats this year and might be a bench player when he returns.

Detroit Tigers outfield prospect Riley Greene (foot) went 0-for-3 with a walk and strikeout in his second rehab game for Triple-A Toledo on Wednesday, and the 21-year-old is scheduled to play in his fifth rehab game on Friday since returning from a fractured right foot. "He's still on a little bit of predetermined ramp to regular activity," skipper A.J. Hinch said. In his four games with Toledo and Single-A Lakeland, Greene has gone 3-for-13 with no homers, two RBI, no runs and a stolen base. Greene was on track to make the Opening Day roster before his foot injury, and he figures to have a good chance of earning starting center field duties in Detroit by season's end. He is the No. 2 overall prospect in the game, per MLB Pipeline, and should be stashed in deep mixed leagues.
