Detroit Tigers Announced Greene News
The Tigers have already announced the news that Greene will be out of the lineup on Wednesday.
MLB.com wrote (on August 11): “Departed in third inning of Aug. 11 game vs. Guardians. Will receive tests to determine severity but will not be in lineup Aug. 12.”
Later, it was revealed by the Tigers PR team that Greene will be placed on the “10-day injured list” with a “right hamstring strain.”
Greene is in the middle of another productive season.
He is currently batting .273 with 115 hits, 16 home runs, 54 RBIs, 65 runs and three stolen bases in 117 games.
It is unclear how long the Tigers will be without Greene, who has become a key bat for this Detroit team.
Social Media Reacts
Here’s what people were saying:
@1kovacs: “Would like to see Callahan LH OF get a shot if they want to go lefty outfield swap assuming Greene is out”
@javybetter: “Tigers have lost their entire outfield this year lol”
@betaiota389: “Carpenter coming back anytime soon?”
@AndrewH68919467: “IL stint coming, question is who the call goes to”
Evan Woodbery: “Ben Malgeri enters to play left field in the 3rd inning, replacing Riley Greene, who was hit by a pitch on his shin the previous inning. Greene looked fine and even scored from first on Spencer Torkelson’s double. But presumably a precautionary exit to get checked out.”
