Greene went deep as part of a six-run first inning for the Tigers, and then added a sacrifice fly later in the game. The 23-year-old has been dialed in lately, as he now has three straight multi-hit performances. For the season, Greene has a career-high 21 home runs to go with a strong .845 OPS, which would also be a new career best.

Tigers' Riley Greene: Powers offense Wednesday
Rotowire
Greene went 2-for-4 with a walk, a home run, an additional run scored and three total RBI in Wednesday's 8-2 win over the Cubs.
Greene went 0-for-8 in his first two games back from the injured list following his absence due to a hamstring strain, but he broke out Wednesday. The young outfielder now has 18 home runs this season to go along with a strong .836 OPS.

The Tigers reinstated Greene (hamstring) from the 10-day injured list and designated him as the 27th man for Sunday's Little League Classic against the Yankees in Williamsport, Penn., Jason Beck of MLB.com reports. Green will bat second as the designated hitter.
The 23-year-old had been sidelined by a hamstring strain since late July but is ready to rejoin the Tigers after two-game rehab assignment with Triple-A Toledo. Detroit will take advantage of the 27th man for Sunday's neutral-site game but will need to make a corresponding transaction for Greene prior to Tuesday's series opener versus the Cubs.
Greene (hamstring) will begin a rehab assignment with Triple-A Toledo on Thursday, Evan Woodbery of MLive.com reports.
Greene was cleared for game action after getting through another running session at Comerica Park on Tuesday. The outfielder has been shelved since late July with a right hamstring strain. It's not clear how many rehab games Greene will require, but a return next Tuesday for the start of the Tigers' road trip would be a possibility.

Tigers' Riley Greene: More running at Comerica on Tuesday
Rotowire
Greene (hamstring) ran sprints and was expected to run the bases at Comerica Park on Tuesday, Chris McCosky of The Detroit News reports.
It was previously reported Greene was in line to begin a rehab assignment with Triple-A Toledo on Tuesday. While he's not quite ready for that yet, the hope is he'll be ready to join Toledo at some point this week. Greene has been sidelined since late July with a right hamstring strain.
Greene (hamstring) is expected to begin a rehab assignment Tuesday as the designated hitter for Triple-A Toledo, Evan Petzold of the Detroit Free Press reports.
Greene is traveling with the Tigers and is scheduled to run the bases in San Francisco on Sunday, and he may do so again Monday in Detroit. If all goes well, the Tigers will then formally clear Greene to join Toledo for the rehab assignment. He'll likely need to play the outfield at some point during his time with Toledo before being activated from the 10-day injured list, which could happen as soon as next weekend. Greene has been on the IL since July 26 due to a right hamstring strain.

Tigers' Riley Greene: Running bases Sunday
Rotowire
Greene (hamstring) is scheduled to begin running the bases Sunday, Evan Woodbery of MLive.com reports.
Greene resumed taking batting practice last week, and Sunday will mark his first time running the bases since he landed on the IL with a strained right hamstring. The Tigers have yet to announce any plans for sending the outfielder on a rehab assignment, though that could change if he's able to get through Sunday's base-running session without any problems.

Tigers' Riley Greene: Takes BP, but not fully running
Rotowire
Greene (hamstring) took live batting practice Saturday against right-hander Casey Mize (hamstring), but the outfielder has yet to resume full running, MLB.com reports.
Though Greene checked out fine after taking swings against Mize, being able to run the bases and move laterally in the outfield without issue remains a major obstacle he'll need to clear in his recovery from a right hamstring strain before he'll be able to play in simulated games and/or head out on a minor-league rehab assignment. Based on where he currently stands in his recovery, Greene wouldn't seem to be a realistic option to return from the 10-day injured list during the upcoming week.
