Riley Greene (hamstring) to return on Tuesday

Riley Greene

DET Left Fielder #31

Player Stats

Riley Greene (hamstring) will be activated from the injured list for Tuesday’s game against the Twins.

The Tigers are going to give Greene a day off to rest and recover after playing in a pair of minor league rehab contests for Triple-A Toledo over the weekend. He’s been on the shelf with a hamstring strain since early August. He’ll return to the heart of Detroit’s lineup once rosters expand this week.

Tigers activated OF Riley Greene from the 10-day injured list.

Greene is back in left field and hitting cleanup following a three-week absence due to a hamstring strain. The timing was extremely unfortunate for Detroit since they went into a tailspin without their primary middle-of-the-order threat for a couple weeks. His return is a nice bonus for fantasy managers heading into the playoffs, especially since he gets to fae Minnesota and Cleveland right out of the gate.

Riley Greene singled and walked twice in his second game for Triple-A Toledo on Sunday.

Greene played left field today after DHing on Saturday. Expectations are that he’ll come off the injured list and rejoin the Tigers lineup when rosters expand on Tuesday.

Riley Greene (hamstring) will begin a minor league rehab assignment with Triple-A Toledo on Saturday.

It sounds like there’s a decent chance that Greene is back for Monday’s series opener against the division-rival Twins. The 25-year-old run-producer has been on the shelf with a hamstring strain since early August. He’ll get in a pair of minor league contests over the weekend before the Tigers make a decision on his next steps. They could certainly use his formidable bat back in the middle of their lineup.

Riley Greene (hamstring) has started a running progression.

Tigers manager A.J. Hinch told reporters Greene isn’t back to running at full speed yet, but he’s been ramping up from a physical standpoint recently. The 25-year-old middle-of-the-order force hit the injured list with a hamstring strain back on August 12. He remains without a definitive return timetable, but figures to make it back to Detroit at some point in early September. The Tigers have gone just 2-9 overall since he landed on the injured list.

Tigers placed OF Riley Greene on the 10-day injured list with a right hamstring strain.

It’s brutal timing for Detroit, and fantasy managers, with just over six weeks remaining in the season. No word yet regarding the severity of the strain, which will determine how much time Greene misses. However, fantasy managers should brace for a multi-week absence. The 25-year-old middle-of-the-order force has graded out as a top-25 range fantasy outfielder this season, hitting .273/.366/.450 with 65 runs scored, 16 homers, 54 RBI and three steals in 492 plate appearances through 117 games.

The Tigers are still evaluating Riley Greene’s right hamstring.

Greene’s status for Wednesday’s game against the Guardians — and potentially the contests after that — is still in doubt. The Tigers have added Corey Julks to the taxi squad as a potential replacement. Fantasy managers should be prepared for an absence, but his status should be updated well before the game.

Riley Greene was removed from Tuesday’s game against the Guardians with right hamstring tightness.

Not great. The widely-held assumption was that Greene was lifted for precautionary reasons after being hit by a pitch earlier in the contest. It sounds like he may have tweaked his hamstring while scoring on Spencer Torkelson’s second-inning double. The 25-year-old fantasy stalwart will undergo further evaluation, and possibly imaging, to determine the severity of the issue. There should be a definitive update on his status leading into the final two games of the series.

Riley Greene was removed from Tuesday’s game against the Guardians after being hit by a pitch.

Greene was lifted for a defensive replacement in the third inning after being hit by a pitch on the shin earlier in the contest. The removal appears to be precautionary in nature since he remained in the game after the hit-by-pitch and scored from first on a Spencer Torkelson double later in the frame. He’ll likely undergo X-rays to ensure that he didn’t suffer any fractures. There should be an update on his status following the contest.

Riley Greene went 3-for-5 with a solo home run and two runs scored to lead the Tigers to an 8-0 win over the Mariners on Tuesday.

Greene put the Tigers on the board with a single in the third inning to drive in a run before scoring on a base hit by Colt Keith. He then extended the Detroit lead with a solo homer off Emerson Hancock in the fifth. Greene would collect his third hit of the game with a single in the ninth. The 25-year-old outfielder is hitting .278/.369/.462 with 16 homers, 61 runs scored, and 54 RBI across 469 plate appearances.

Riley Greene is not in the Tigers’ starting lineup for Sunday’s matchup against Gage Jump and the Athletics.

Greene will get a rare breather on Sunday afternoon with the left-hander on the mound for the Athletics. Expect to see him off the bench against a righty later in the game. Ben Malgeri will start in his place in left field and bat eighth for the Tigers on Sunday afternoon at Sutter Health Park.

A.J. Ewing is not in New York’s starting lineup on Friday against the Giants.

He’s sitting against LHP Tugboat Wilkinson. When the Mets lost Luis Robert Jr. on waivers the assumption was that Ewing’s playing time would be safe, but Nick Morabito is manning center field for the platoon advantage. Since the start of August, Ewing is hitting .168/.242/.212 with no homers and eight stolen bases.

Ezequiel Tovar is not in Colorado’s starting lineup against the Cardinals on Friday.

It appears to be a routine off-day for Tovar. Hopefully you dropped him early if you drafted him, as his .209/.256/.333 line has been extremely disappointing this year. Cole Carrigg will get the start at shortstop — it sure would help next year’s fantasy value for Carrigg if he could get enough starts at the position to be eligible next year, but that seems unlikely.

Michael Harris II is not in Atlanta’s starting lineup against the Phillies on Friday.

It’s a bit of a surprising move given the Phillies are trying to chase down the Braves in the NL East and Harris is hitting .351/.373/.684 with four homers and three stolen bases in his last 15 games. They are facing LHP Cristopher Sánchez and Harris is hitting .269/.306/.462 against left-handers this year, we guess. Lane Thomas will get the call in left field for the Braves with Mauricio Dubón shifting over to center.

Reds selected the contract of CF Carlos Jorge from Triple-A Louisville.

Perhaps the Reds will turn to Jorge down the stretch in center field, where the uninspiring Dane Myers/TJ Friedl platoon has mostly gone nowhere. The 22-year-old certainly has enough speed to be fantasy interesting if he gets a shot at extended playing time.
