Riley Greene progresses in recovery ahead of series against Rays

Summary

Detroit Tigers outfielder Riley Greene has been unavailable since suffering a hamstring injury on August 11. He is currently at Comerica Park doing conditioning work and is reportedly trending in the right direction, though not yet ready for a game. The Tigers have struggled lately, losing eight of their last nine games, and are in need of wins to stay competitive for a Wild Card spot in the American League.
