The Detroit Tigers announced on August 12, 2026, that outfielder Riley Greene has been placed on the 10-day injured list due to a right hamstring strain. Greene left Tuesday's game against the Cleveland Guardians after feeling tightness. With the Tigers currently just half a game out of a Wild Card spot, Greene's absence is a significant concern. To fill his roster spot, Detroit has selected the contract of outfielder Corey Julks, while designating right-hander Troy Watson for assignment to create room on the 40-man roster. The Tigers aim to navigate the playoff race without Greene as they hope for a swift recovery.
