Detroit Tigers outfielder Riley Greene isn't in the team's lineup on Wednesday for a matchup with the Los Angeles Angels and left-handed starter Patrick Sandoval. Greene is hitting .254 with a .315 on-base percentage, five home runs, and a stolen base in 311 plate appearances this season. Instead, it'll be Willi Castro starting in center field and hitting leadoff. Castro is batting .245 this season with a .290 on-base percentage, six home runs, and seven stolen bases in 352 plate appearances for Detroit. Fantasy managers in search of streaming options are probably best off looking elsewhere.
Detroit Tigers rookie outfielder Riley Greene has been on a tear recently, including Thursday against the Seattle Mariners, when he was 2-for-4 with a pair of singles in the 7-0 loss. Over his last 15 contests, the 21-year-old is slashing .323/.382/.519 with two home runs. The season still hasn't been kind to Greene, who is batting .257 with five homers, 29 RBI, 36 runs and one stolen base across 65 games. He should be left on the waiver wire in standard leagues, even with him leading off every day, although he should be stashed in dynasty leagues with the potential to contribute in every category.
Detroit Tigers outfielder Riley Greene had a couple of hits in five at-bats during Tuesday's 6-4 loss to the San Diego Padres. They were both singles, but he also drove in a run. Greene is slashing .244/.320/.348 with two home runs, 19 runs, 13 RBI, and a stolen base over 33 games. There was a lot of hype surrounding the 21-year-old, so his numbers have been a bit disappointing. However, Greene is a rookie and can't be expected to be fantasy relevant right away.

Detroit Tigers outfielder Riley Greene was a top prospect in all of baseball heading into the 2022 season. He began the year at Triple-A but was called up on June 18 and hit .253 with five home runs, 46 runs, 42 RBI, and one stolen base across 93 games. He'll improve as a hitter in 2023, with his debut season behind him and a few more things going his way. However, Greene has some weaknesses to work on before he can truly break out. He struck out 28.7% of the time this year and owned a 26% mark during his minor league career. High strikeout rates moving forward will affect Greene's batting average, and his .354 BABIP means he was lucky to even hit above .250. The 22-year-old's power was underrated, as his 9.1 xHR and 60th percentile barrel rate show. Although Comerica Park's dimensions will be more hitter-friendly in 2023, it should still grade out as a pitcher's park, and if Greene can't figure out how to hit the ball in the air after posting a 56.8% ground ball rate, he'll find it challenging to display his true power. It might seem like the youngster would be a decent baserunner based on his athleticism, but his 59th-percentile sprint speed doesn't stand out much, and he's projected for just seven stolen bases next year. He still has loads of potential and will likely be a four-category contributor once he matures, but he still has some things to work on to reach his ceiling. Fantasy managers have better options going later in the draft with a safer floor than Greene (197 ADP), like Ramon Laureano (219 ADP) and Lourdes Gurriel Jr. (224 ADP).
