  Greene is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the White Sox. Greene started the first eight games of the season and has carried a hot bat with three homers and a 1.083 OPS in 36 plate appearances, but he'll receive a break for Sunday's series finale versus Chicago.

• Tigers' Riley Greene: Will focus mostly on OF corners

  Rotowire Mar 24, 2025

  Tigers president of baseball operations Scott Harris indicated Monday that Greene is likely to remain primarily a corner outfielder, Evan Woodbery of MLive.com reports. The Tigers have lost three center fielders to injury in Matt Vierling (shoulder), Parker Meadows (arm) and Wenceel Perez (back). Greene has extensive experience in center field and has played there some this spring, but it would appear the club still plans to play him mostly in left field. Ryan Kreidler could be the favorite to handle reps in center field for Detroit for the time being.

• Tigers' Riley Greene: Connects for first spring home run

  Rotowire Feb 25, 2025

  Greene went 2-for-2 with a walk and a two-run home run in Tuesday's Grapefruit League game against the Orioles. Making his first appearance of the spring, Greene wasted no time in delivering his first home run as well. The 24-year-old outfielder set career highs across the board last season and seems primed for another step forward in 2025. Greene should be a dependable fantasy asset with a fairly stable floor, and he offers plenty of upside as well, making him an attractive target in drafts.

• Tigers' Riley Greene: Hoping to increase workload in 2025

  Rotowire Feb 15, 2025

  Greene has focused on a better diet and exercising in the offseason, and the outfielder hopes to see more playing time this season as a result of improved health, Jason Beck of MLB.com reports. Greene was fairly durable in 2024, as he set a new career high by playing in 137 games. However, the 24-year-old outfielder thinks he's capable of more, and he's implemented a new offseason routine to help improve his body. If Greene can play in 150 games or more, he has a good chance of improving upon his 2024 numbers which included 24 home runs and 74 RBI to go along with a strong .827 OPS.

• Tigers' Riley Greene: Goes deep in critical win

  Rotowire Sep 18, 2024

  Greene went 1-for-5 with a solo home run in Wednesday's 4-2 win over the Royals. Greene hit his 24th home run of the season in the third inning as the Tigers built an early lead, and they held on for a critical win, which moved them within a half game of a playoff spot. The young outfielder will need to carry Detroit offensively in the final nine games of the year, so he should be in the lineup pretty much every day, giving him an opportunity to build on what's been a strong fantasy campaign to date.

  Rotowire Aug 22, 2024

  Greene is out of the lineup for Thursday's game against the Cubs. Greene will join fellow left-handed hitters Trey Sweeney, Parker Meadows and Zach McKinstry on the bench while the Cubs send southpaw Justin Steele to the hill for the series finale. After going 0-for-8 with five strikeouts in his first two starts following his return from the 10-day injured list Sunday, Greene shook off some rust in Wednesday's 8-2 win, slugging a home run and supplying a base hit while driving in three runs.

  Rotowire Aug 21, 2024

Greene went 0-for-8 in his first two games back from the injured list following his absence due to a hamstring strain, but he broke out Wednesday. The young outfielder now has 18 home runs this season to go along with a strong .836 OPS.

• Tigers' Riley Greene: Reinstated, starting Sunday

  Rotowire Aug 18, 2024

  The Tigers reinstated Greene (hamstring) from the 10-day injured list and designated him as the 27th man for Sunday's Little League Classic against the Yankees in Williamsport, Penn., Jason Beck of MLB.com reports. Green will bat second as the designated hitter. The 23-year-old had been sidelined by a hamstring strain since late July but is ready to rejoin the Tigers after two-game rehab assignment with Triple-A Toledo. Detroit will take advantage of the 27th man for Sunday's neutral-site game but will need to make a corresponding transaction for Greene prior to Tuesday's series opener versus the Cubs.

• Tigers' Riley Greene: Absent from Detroit lineup

  Rotowire Jul 23, 2024

  Greene is not in the lineup for Tuesday's game in Cleveland. Greene isn't dealing with any known injury, but it's a little odd to see him sitting out against righty Xzavion Curry, especially since he was just out of the lineup Saturday versus a left-hander. The Tigers are going with an outfield of Justyn-Henry Malloy, Matt Vierling and Wenceel Perez on Tuesday.

  Rotowire Jul 7, 2024

  Greene is serving as the designated hitter and batting fourth in Sunday's game against the Reds.

For the season, Greene has an .863 OPS and 17 home runs, making him a strong fantasy asset thus far. The young star is just starting to tap into his potential and has a ton of upside the rest of the year.

• Tigers' Riley Greene: Big effort in win

  Rotowire Jul 4, 2024

  Greene went 3-for-4 with a triple, a two-run home run and an additional run scored in Wednesday's 9-2 win over the Twins. Greene was an offensive force as he recorded his 16th home run of the season and pushed his OPS up to .851. The 23-year-old had already surpassed his previous career best of 11 home runs in a season, and he's now up to a career-high 43 RBI this year as well after Wednesday's effort. Greene could be closing in on his first All-Star appearance, but at the very least he's been a strong fantasy asset who continues to trend upward given his promising skill set.

• Tigers' Riley Greene: Reaches three times in loss

  Rotowire Jun 17, 2024

  Greene went 1-for-2 with two walks and an RBI in Monday's 2-1 loss to Atlanta. Greene didn't get much support from the rest of the lineup but it was still a good day for the young outfielder. He's been locked in this month with a .305 batting average across 15 games, and that's pushed his overall average to .254. Greene is a dynamic talent who can really take off if he keeps making consistent contact at the plate like he's done recently.
