Greene went 2-for-4 with a solo home run in Sunday's 8-4 loss to the Mariners.
Greene went deep for the second straight day, and he how has seven long balls over his last 14 games. For the year, the young outfielder is up to 24 home runs, which ties the career-best total he recorded during the 2024 regular season. The 24 homers are also good for eighth in the majors, and Greene's 78 RBI are the third most in baseball. The 24-year-old is certainly worthy of his starting spot in next week's All-Star Game.

Tigers' Riley Greene: Tallies two hits Friday
Rotowire
Greene went 2-for-4 with a triple, an RBI and a run scored in Friday's 12-3 loss to the Mariners.
Greene recorded his first triple of the season as he also notched just his second multi-hit performance of the month. In July, the talented outfielder is slashing just .158/.220/.447 across 10 games, which is down significantly from his overall line of .281/.334/.529. Greene still has done more than enough to earn a starting nod in the All-Star Game, as he also has a team-high 22 home runs and 73 RBI, and he should be able to get hot at the plate again soon based on his track record.

Tigers' Riley Greene: Will focus mostly on OF corners
Rotowire
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: Hoping to increase workload in 2025
Rotowire
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.
