Tigers' Riley Greene Placed on Injured List

The Detroit Tigers have placed All-Star outfielder Riley Greene on the 10-day injured list due to a right hamstring strain, a decision made after Greene struggled in a recent game, going 0-for-4 with three strikeouts. Greene, who has been a key player for the Tigers this season with a .264 batting average and 17 home runs, expressed disappointment over the injury, stating it was not how he wanted to contribute to the team. This marks Greene's third stint on the injured list in two seasons, though the team hopes a brief rest will prevent a more severe injury. In Greene's absence, the Tigers have recalled utility player Ryan Vilade from Triple-A Toledo. While the severity of Greene's injury has not been fully disclosed, historical data suggests he could be sidelined for an average of 20 to 27 days. With Greene out, the Tigers may reconsider their strategy ahead of the upcoming trade deadline, potentially leading to a more aggressive selling approach.
