Riley Greene leads Tigers offense after returning from injured list
Summary

Detroit Tigers outfielder Riley Greene returned to the lineup last week following a three-week absence due to a right hamstring strain. Greene recorded six hits, five extra-base hits, and six RBIs during a weekend series against the Cleveland Guardians at Progressive Field. His performance included a 4-for-5 outing with two home runs during a 6-0 victory on Saturday, followed by a two-double effort on Sunday. Teammate Spencer Torkelson noted that Greene maintains a pregame routine involving toasted Uncrustables. Despite the Tigers' fading postseason standing, Greene’s recent production has improved his season statistics to a.275 batting average. The organization is using the remainder of the season to evaluate its younger roster members while relying on established players like Greene to maintain performance.
