Riley Greene Fantasy Stats

Across 232 plate appearances entering play on Thursday, Detroit Tigers outfielder Riley Greene was hitting .305/.401/.440 with four home runs, 25 RBI, 30 runs scored, and one stolen base. While Greene has been a productive hitter, his power output has come down considerably from where it was in 2025, when he clubbed 36 home runs across 655 plate appearances. Greene's barrel rate is down from 17.1% last season to 12.6% this season. As the weather heats up in Detroit, Greene could find more power. However, if he doesn't, his current path to production may be unsustainable. With a 28% strikeout rate and a heavily inflated .435 batting average on balls in play, Greene's batting average seems likely to regress closer to his career mark of .268 over the course of a full season. As a result, fantasy managers may want to consider selling high on Greene before he runs into some batting average regression.

Across his first 98 plate appearances of 2026, Detroit Tigers outfielder Riley Greene is hitting .265/.378/.386 with one home run, 14 RBI, 15 runs scored, and one stolen base. After his 36-homer campaign in 2025, Greene's lack of power early in the year is a bit surprising. However, his 13.8% barrel rate and 50% hard-hit rate remain stellar and signal that a home run-surge could be coming. Greene's improved plate skills are also an encouraging sign, as he's lowered his strikeout rate from 30.7% in 2025 to 22.4% while walking at a career-best 15.3% in 2026. The 25-year-old is also locked into an everyday role in the heart of the Detroit lineup, which should allow him to continue racking up counting stats. If Greene can avoid injury and maintain his improved control of the strike zone, he could be in line for a career year in 2026.

Detroit Tigers outfielder Riley Greene took a more aggressive approach at the plate in 2025 in his fourth year in the big leagues, which led to career highs in home runs (36) and RBI (111), but also in strikeouts (201). Greene had a career-high 30.7% strikeout rate, although his average only dropped from .262 to .258. The 25-year-old left-handed slugger's OPS also dropped over 20 points, thanks to a career-low 7.1% walk rate. He swung at more pitches and also swung and missed more, but when he did make contact, he did damage with a 17.1% barrel rate. In addition to Greene's 36 homers and 111 RBI, he added a career-high 84 runs scored but stole just two bases. Greene has a total of 14 thefts in his four seasons, so fantasy managers can't count on that as part of his game. If his aggressive approach at the plate continues in 2026, Greene should have a high floor as a power threat and run-producer while maintaining a solid but unspectacular average. RotoBaller has him ranked as the No. 20 outfielder.

Outfielder Riley Greene and the Detroit Tigers have agreed to a $5 million contract for 2026, avoiding arbitration, according to Evan Petzold of the Detroit Free Press. In 2025, Greene set a career high with 36 home runs, 111 RBI, and 84 runs while slashing .258/.313/.493, good for a 121 wRC+. Greene's new power-focused approach came with a cost, though, as he posted a career-high 30.7% strikeout rate, setting the record for most strikeouts in a single season in Tigers history. Looking ahead to 2026, if the 28-year-old from Florida maintains this approach, he is expected to hit around 30 home runs with a .250 batting average. At his current ADP of 73, he is a safe bet to return value as one of your top outfielders.

Detroit Tigers outfielder Riley Greene will step out of the starting lineup for Wednesday's series finale versus the hosting Pittsburgh Pirates with left-hander Bailey Falter on the bump at PNC Park. With Greene starting on the bench in this matinee contest, Matt Vierling will make the start in left field and hit fifth against Falter. Fantasy managers should expect to see Greene back in the fold for Thursday's series opener against the visiting Toronto Blue Jays at Comerica Park. The 24-year-old left-handed hitter has now made back-to-back All-Star appearances and has been a big reason why the Tigers are the best team in the American League in 2025. He enters play on Wednesday hitting .276/.325/.530 with an .855 OPS, a career-high 25 home runs, 79 RBI and 54 runs scored in 100 games, but he's also leading the league with 135 strikeouts.

Detroit Tigers outfielder Riley Greene went deep for the second game in a row in an 8-4 loss to the Seattle Mariners on Sunday. Greene connected on a solo home run off left-hander Gabe Speier to give the Tigers a 4-3 advantage in the bottom of the seventh. Detroit's bullpen squandered the lead, but it was another productive day for Greene, who finished 2-for-4. While Greene has hit just .200 (9-for-45) this month, the 24-year-old has swatted five homers and picked up 15 RBI in that 12-game span. He earned his way to a second straight All-Star game in the first half of the season, slashing .284/.335/.544 with 78 RBI and 53 runs across 397 plate appearances. Greene's strikeout and walk rates have trended in the wrong direction in 2025, but he's nonetheless on track for a career year. He has already matched his HR total from 2024 and surpassed the 74 RBI he collected then. Only MVP candidates Cal Raleigh (82) and Aaron Judge (81) have driven in more runs than Greene.

Detroit Tigers outfielder Riley Greene had a big day in the first game of his team's Wednesday doubleheader with the Washington Nationals. Greene went 2-for-5 with two homers and six RBI in the contest, an 11-2 win over Washington. He did not start in the second game of the doubleheader but entered as a pinch-hitter and ultimately went 0-for-2. Greene kicked off the scoring in Game 1 with a three-run homer in the first inning and later added another three-run shot to give the Tigers a 10-0 lead in the fourth. The veteran outfielder is having a breakout season, hitting .296 with 21 homers, 49 runs, 69 RBI, and one steal across 328 at-bats. He has been on fire of late, batting .383 with seven homers and 21 RBI over his past 15 contests. Greene has forced his way into the conversation as a must-start in fantasy outfields going forward.

Detroit Tigers outfielders Riley Greene and Parker Meadows will both take a seat for Game 2 of their doubleheader on Wednesday in D.C. against the hosting Washington Nationals. Jahmai Jones is starting in left field and batting third, while Wenceel Perez is making the start in right field and is hitting sixth against Nationals left-hander MacKenzie Gore. Justyn-Henry Mallow, who was called up from Triple-A Toledo, is serving as the designated hitter and is batting leadoff. Detroit will give Greene and Meadows the second game off against a tough lefty after he did plenty of damage in the Game 1 victory with two home runs and six RBI. Greene is in the midst of a breakout in 2025 for the first-place Tigers and is now up to 21 home runs in 84 games. Meadows is still trying to find his groove at the plate after a late start to the year and went 1-for-5 with three strikeouts in Game 1.

Detroit Tigers outfielder Riley Greene crushed two homers and drove in four on Friday in a terrific performance. Greene hit a three-run homer in the second inning and a solo shot in the eighth, but it wasn't enough for the Tigers, who ended up losing 14-8 to the Tampa Bay Rays. The 24-year-old also singled and walked in this one, reaching base four times in total. It has been an extremely strong year for the breakout star, who has quietly put together one of the better four-category seasons in fantasy. He now has a .287 AVG, 40 runs, 17 homers, and 59 RBI. That is elite production from the outfield position, and it might be time to adjust our thinking on the level of player Greene is. At any rate, he is clearly a must-start player in fantasy and should be regarded as a premier option in all formats.

Detroit Tigers outfielder Riley Greene homered and drove in four runs to help the club to an 11-5 win over the Cincinnati Reds on Friday. Greene hadn't gone deep since May 30, but he ended a 12-game dry spell with a 426-foot bomb off starter Nick Martinez in the bottom of the third inning. The 24-year-old also doubled during a 2-for-4 night. He's now batting .279/.334/.498 with 14 HRs, 48 RBI, and 34 runs scored over 287 plate appearances. While Greene is striking out at a lofty 31.4% clip, he's on pace to eclipse the career-high marks in HRs (24) and RBI (74) he established last year. The lefty-swinging Greene is a must-start for fantasy managers against right-handed pitchers. He'll face Reds righty Brady Singer on Saturday.
