Riley Greene Feeling Good
10 months agoDetroit Tigers outfielder Riley Greene (elbow) said he's feeling good after starting to swing a bat for the first time since having Tommy John surgery. "The first couple of swings I took when I started my hitting progression went really good. Didn't feel a thing. It really feels normal now," Greene said. The 23-year-old has been swinging a bat now for around a month and is almost five months removed from the surgery on his right elbow. Expect him to be eased into action in spring training, but barring any setbacks, the young outfielder should be ready to go for Detroit on Opening Day. Greene hit .288/.349/.447 with 11 home runs, 37 RBI, seven stolen bases and 51 runs scored in 99 games in 2023 before going under the knife. There is a lot of swing and miss to his game, but all his other metrics look solid and he should be Detroit's starting center fielder in 2024 with plenty of upside.
