Riley Greene Stats

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.

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.

Detroit Tigers outfield prospect Riley Greene (foot) went 0-for-3 with a walk and strikeout in his second rehab game for Triple-A Toledo on Wednesday, and the 21-year-old is scheduled to play in his fifth rehab game on Friday since returning from a fractured right foot. "He's still on a little bit of predetermined ramp to regular activity," skipper A.J. Hinch said. 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.
