Riley Greene To Face Live Pitching This Week
3 months agoDetroit Tigers outfielder Riley Greene (elbow) is scheduled to face live pitching this week and is completing all other baseball activities at spring training. Greene is recovering from a right-elbow sprain that required Tommy John surgery last year, and he might be initially held back from participating in Grapefruit League games in camp. However, barring a setback, he should be ready for Opening Day as Detroit's starting center fielder. The good news is that the surgery was to the 23-year-old's right (non-throwing) arm. Greene struck out a lot in his second big-league season in 2023 but still managed to hit .288 (109-for-378) before his injury with 11 home runs, 37 RBI and seven steals in 99 games played. He should be considered an intriguing target as a No. 3 fantasy outfielder with upside in 2024.
