Fri Jul 1 2022 | 18:09 | Riley Greene Leading Off On Friday |
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. |

Wed Jun 22 2022 | 15:43 | Riley Greene Hitting Second Against Red Sox |
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. |

Fri Jun 17 2022 | 16:09 | Riley Greene Coming Up, Austin Meadows To IL |
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. |

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. |

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. |

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. |

Thu May 12 2022 | 11:57 | Riley Greene Has Follow-Up Exam Thursday |
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. |

Fri Apr 8 2022 | 08:12 | Riley Greene Likely To Miss Over Six To Eight Weeks |
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. |

Tue Apr 5 2022 | 14:02 | Riley Greene To Start In Center When Healthy |
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.

Sat Apr 2 2022 | 17:31 | Riley Greene Could Miss 6-8 Weeks |
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.

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 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.

Mon Mar 28 2022 | 14:28 | Spencer Torkelson, Riley Greene Not Locks To Make Roster |
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. |

Thu Mar 17 2022 | 17:07 | Spencer Torkelson, Riley Greene Won't Be Held Back |
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. |
