Greene's Injury Clouds Tigers' Critical Guardians Matchup
The Tigers placed Riley Greene on the 10-day injured list before Wednesday's game with a right hamstring strain. Greene came out of the game in the second inning Tuesday with right hamstring tightness, which he felt scoring from first base on a double by Spencer Torkelson. The Tigers believe it's mild, but his absence represents a significant blow during the playoff stretch. Veteran outfielder Corey Julks was selected from Triple-A Toledo to replace him on the roster.
