Tigers place All-Star outfielder Riley Greene on injured list with hamstring
strain
DETROIT (AP) --- The Detroit Tigers placed All-Star outfielder Riley Greene on
the injured list Friday with a right hamstring strain.
The 23-year-old Greene has been a bright spot for the struggling Tigers'
offense. He is hitting .264 and leading Detroit in homers (17), runs (57) and
RBIs (51).
The fifth-overall pick in 2019, Greene made his first All-Star appearance
earlier this month and has become the face of Detroit's lengthy rebuilding
project. Health has been his biggest issue. He has played 293 games in his
first three big league seasons.
To replace Greene, the Tigers recalled utility player Ryan Vilade from Triple-A
Toledo. Vilade is hitting .296 in nine major league games.
