GRAYSON GREINER CATCHER - NO TEAM
CATCHER - NO TEAM
Starting rehab Wednesday Greiner (hamstring) will begin his rehab assignment with Triple-A Toledo on Wednesday, Chris McCosky of The Detroit News reports.
Impact The catcher has been out since May 11 with a strained left hamstring, but appears to be nearing his return. Greiner's numbers on the season aren't dazzling, though he did hit .333 in his last seven games before the injury and will slot in once again as the second-string catcher behind Wilson Ramos, who's currently on the injured list.

Placed on injured list Greiner was placed on the 10-day injured list with a left hamstring strain Wednesday.
Impact Greiner's hamstring issue isn't believed to be too serious, but his placement on the injured list was expected to give the Tigers some depth behind the plate. Jake Rogers should serve as the primary catcher in Greiner's absence, while Eric Haase's contract was selected by the Tigers in a corresponding move.

IL stint anticipated Manager A.J. Hinch said Greiner's hamstring injury doesn't appear serious, though the catcher is still expected to be placed on the injured list, Evan Woodbery of MLive.com reports...
Impact The Tigers can't afford to have Jake Rogers as the only available catcher on the active roster, so even an expected absence of a couple games would be enough to send Greiner to the shelf. Assuming the roster move is made Wednesday, the 28-year-old could be activated as soon as May 22.

Battling tight hamstring Greiner was removed from Tuesday's game against the Royals with left hamstring tightness.
Impact The 28-year-old went 1-for-2 with an RBI before being replaced by a pinch hitter during the fifth inning. Jake Rogers took over behind the plate and should work as the primary catcher should Greiner be forced to miss any time.

Work picks up sans Ramos Greiner will start at catcher and bat ninth Sunday against the Twins.
Impact Unsurprisingly, Greiner has seen an uptick in opportunities since Wilson Ramos (back) was placed on the 10-day injured list Friday, but Greiner has not yet emerged as Detroit's clear-cut No. 1 catcher. After starting Friday's series opener in place of Ramos, Greiner ceded catching duties to Jake Rogers on Saturday. Manager A.J. Hinch could opt to use Greiner and Rogers in a timeshare arrangement until Ramos is cleared to return from the IL.
