Rest-of-Season Projections
2023 Fantasy Outlook
Greene appeared likely to break camp on the Tigers' Opening Day roster, but a foul ball off the foot delayed his arrival to the big leagues until mid-June. He would go on to slash .253/.321/.362 across 93 games as a rookie, hitting five homers while successfully stealing only one bag in five attempts. In a vacuum, these numbers are rather uninspiring, but the fact that Greene was right around league average by wRC+ as a 21-year-old speaks volumes. The fifth overall pick in 2019, Greene was considered among the top prospects in the game at the time of his call-up. The Tigers are going to give Greene every chance to succeed. We've already seen that he can hold his own against big-league pitching, but it would be nice to see him cut down on the strikeouts (28.7%). How quickly he does that will determine his trajectory.

On IL with stress fracture
The Tigers placed Greene on the 10-day injured list Wednesday after he was diagnosed with a stress fracture in his left fibula, Cody Stavenhagen of The Athletic reports.
ANALYSIS
Greene left Tuesday's loss to the Rangers after he tweaked his leg while tracking down a fly ball, and an MRI administered following the contest revealed the true nature of his injury. It's hard to predict exactly how long the outfielder could be sidelined and more information will likely be supplied in the coming days after Greene receives a second opinion on the injury, per Stavenhagen. The 22-year-old had settled into a nice groove in May, batting .365 with 13 extra-base hits, including three home runs, 11 RBI, 16 runs and four stolen bases over 96 at-bats in 25 games. Jake Marisnick had his contract selected from Triple-A Toledo on Wednesday and will help fill the void in center field left by Greene's absence.

Stat Review
How does Riley Greene compare to other hitters?
This section compares his stats with all batting seasons from the previous three seasons (minimum 400 plate appearances)*. The bar represents the player's percentile rank. For example, if the bar is halfway across, then the player falls into the 50th percentile for that stat and it would be considered average.
* Exit Velocity and Barrels/PA % are benchmarked against 2019 data (min 400 PA) and Hard Hit Rate is benchmarked against last season's data (min 400 PA). See here for more exit velocity/barrels stats plus an explanation of current limitations with that data set.

Past Fantasy Outlooks
2022
2021
2020
The top prep hitter in the 2019 draft class, Greene was a top-15 overall prospect heading into 2021 and his final season in the minors couldn't have gone much better. He jumped over High-A and logged a 145 wRC+ at Double-A as the youngest hitter at that level. Greene was then pushed to Triple-A, where he was once again the youngest hitter, and he improved his rate stats across the board en route to a 153 wRC+. His 32.8 Hard% was elite for a hitter his age in the upper levels, and he surprisingly stole 16 bases on 17 attempts, despite having never graded out as a plus runner. Base stealing is not all about pure speed, and if Robbie Grossman stole 20 bases for the Tigers in 2021, Greene could get to that mark over a full season. A trip to the Arizona Fall League was canceled due to a concussion suffered at the end of the Triple-A season, but he cleared protocols in October and had a normal offseason. However, he sustained a fractured right foot in early April that is expected to keep him out of game action for 6-8 weeks. While his fantasy value depends on when he's able to return to the field, Greene could win an everyday role once he's healthy, and he has five-category upside once he ultimately makes his major-league debut.
