Riley Greene injury update: Tigers All-Star inching closer to return
The hope is for Riley Greene to be back with the Tigers as early as the middle of this week.
DETROIT — All-Star outfielder Riley Greene is making significant progress in his recovery from a right hamstring strain, and is set to begin playing in left field for the Triple-A Toledo Mud Hens on Sunday, Aug. 30. Tigers manager AJ Hinch revealed that Greene's goal is to play half to two-thirds of the game, closely monitoring his workload.
Greene went 0-for-4 with a strikeout in his first rehab assignment on Saturday, Aug. 29, since being placed on the injured list on Aug. 12. The organization will continue to assess his physical activity, including running after balls in the outfield. Greene is expected to return to the Detroit Tigers by September 1, assuming there are no setbacks in his performance.
