Detroit Tigers outfielder Riley Greene hit two home runs across a doubleheader on Tuesday against the St. Louis Cardinals. Greene provided the Tigers' only offense in the first game by hitting a solo shot in the fourth frame. Then, in the second game, Greene went 3-5 with two RBI. The 23-year-old wasted no time by knocking an RBI double in the opening frame, which scored Andy Ibanez. Then, in the seventh inning, Greene would launch his second solo home run of the day. The former fifth-overall pick is riding a .250/.383/.519 stat line with seven home runs. Greene could see his home run count continue to climb throughout the summer thanks to his superb 17.9% barrel rate. He remains a must-start outfielder in all formats.
Detroit Tigers outfielder Riley Greene (rest) is out of the starting lineup ahead of Friday's game against the Minnesota Twins. This appears to be a rare rest day for the 23-year-old outfielder. Greene has started the first 19 games of the season, so he has earned a day off on Friday. Wenceel Perez will bat second and cover right field versus right-hander Joe Ryan on Friday. Fantasy managers and DFS players should be able to find a better option than Perez for Friday's slate.
Detroit Tigers outfielder Riley Greene will hit out of the leadoff spot for the first time this season when the club hosts the first of three games versus the rival Minnesota Twins on Friday. It's been an interesting season so far for the 23-year-old. While he's hitting just .205, Greene has also slugged three homers to go along with a double while walking in 17% of his 47 trips to the plate. The former first-round pick hit .288 with 11 homers and seven stolen bases in 99 games last season as it was a great step forward before a stress fracture in his leg followed by Tommy John surgery cut his season short. Greene firmly remains on the dynasty radar as a difference maker for fantasy managers.

Detroit Tigers outfielder Riley Greene has been as advertised in the big leagues. The 2019 first-round pick was in the upper-echelon of prospect lists before debuting in the 2022 season and made good on his hype in the 2023 campaign when he hit .288 with 11 home runs, seven stolen bases, and a .796 OPS across 416 trips to the plate. His 119 wRC+ was a significant step from a 96 mark in his 2022 rookie campaign. However, health has been a key issue as Greene missed 69 games in his rookie season after a pre-season broken foot while he was limited to just 99 contests as a sophomore due to a stress reaction in his leg followed by Tommy John surgery in September. He could reportedly be ready to go out of spring training but his health concerns make his 171 ADP reasonable and right in line with Rotoballer's 167 ranking. If he's healthy, he could be a later-round steal but prospective fantasy managers will want to keep an eye on his progress in spring training before pulling the trigger on draft day.
