Riley Greene Not In Saturday’s Lineup
5 months agoDetroit Tigers outfielder Riley Greene is not in Saturday's lineup as the Tigers continue a three-game set against the Toronto Blue Jays. The Blue Jays will send left-handed pitcher Yusei Kikuchi to the mound. Greene usually does still start against southpaws more often than not but will be given the day off on Saturday. As a result, 25-year-old Ryan Vilade will slot in at left field and bat in the eight-hole. Greene is currently riding a seven-game hitting streak and holds a strong .271/.363/.500 line with 17 long balls and 51 RBI through 97 games this season. He should be expected to rejoin the starting nine on Sunday. Vilade has posted a .304 AVG through his first eight games of the 2024 campaign and could be a sneaky play in DFS this afternoon, as Kikuchi has held a 7.53 ERA and 1.50 WHIP across his past six starts.
