Riley Greene Getting Close To Rehab Assignment
1 year agoDetroit Tigers manager A.J. Hinch hinted that outfielders Riley Greene (leg) and Akil Baddoo (quadriceps) could be nearing minor-league rehab assignments this week. "They might not be on this road trip the entire time," Hinch said. Both Greene and Baddoo have intensified their daily workouts and could join Triple-A Toledo this weekend. Greene, 22, is recovering from a stress fracture in his left fibula and has been out for all of June, so he'll need at least a handful of rehab games before the Tigers deem him ready to return to action in the big leagues. Barring a setback, he should be back for fantasy managers in early July. Greene is a lineup regular for Detroit when healthy, and he was slashing a strong .296/.362/.443 with an .805 OPS, five home runs and six RBI at the time of his injury.
