Goes deep Thursday Greene went 1-for-3 with a two-run home run and a walk Thursday in a 5-0 victory versus the Red Sox.

Impact Greene launched a two-run shot in the eighth inning to double Detroit's lead from two to four runs. The long ball snapped a 19-game homer drought that extended all the way back to May 6. Greene has nonetheless gone deep 10 times this season, so he's already one homer away from matching the 11 he hit over 416 plate appearances last year.

Reaches three times in doubleheader Greene went 2-for-7 with a walk, a double and two runs scored in Wednesday's doubleheader against the Pirates.

Impact Greene did most of his damage in the first game, when he went 2-for-4 with both of his runs, then cooled down against Paul Skenes and the Pittsburgh bullpen in the nightcap. That's a microcosm of the outfielder's season, as he was batting .257 with a .911 OPS through the end of April, but he's batting just .204 with a .590 OPS this month. Greene has the talent to get rolling again, however, and fantasy managers will just need to be patient with the 23-year-old.

Hits third homer in defeat Greene went 2-for-3 with a solo home run and a walk in Sunday's loss to the A's.

Impact Greene's eighth inning shot to right center just cleared the wall and represented the loan run for the Tigers on Sunday. Despite a slow start to the season that has seen him collect just six hits in 32 at-bats through nine games, Greene has homered three times thus far, showing some early power after collecting a total of 16 dingers over 754 at-bats during his first two seasons with the Tigers.

Goes deep in doubleheader Greene went 2-for-6 with three walks, a solo home run and an additional run scored across both games of Thursday's doubleheader against the Mets.

Impact Greene did most of his damage in the first game, when he launched his second home run of the young season in the eighth inning. The outfielder is scuffling a bit with a .143 average across six contests, though two of his three total hits so far have left the yard. Greene should get that batting average up, and if he keeps hitting for power, he should be able to put up big numbers.

Keeps rolling Monday Greene went 1-for-2 with a double in Monday's Grapefruit League game against the Astros and is now batting .350 this spring.

Impact Greene's spring debut was delayed slightly as he recovered from his September Tommy John surgery, but the talented outfielder has hit the ground running. He's gone 7-for-20 in nine Grapefruit League contests, with three of those hits going for extra bases. Greene looks ready for the regular season, and the toolsy 23-year-old could be poised for a breakout campaign if he stays healthy.

Expected to be ready for next year Greene is expected to be ready for the start of next season following Tommy John surgery Wednesday on his right (non-throwing) elbow, Cody Stavenhagen of The Athletic reports.

Impact Greene needing Tommy John surgery to repair his injured elbow was a worst-case scenario. However, because he's a position player and because the operation was on his non-throwing arm, his rehab will not take nearly as long. It's possible, if not probable, that the Tigers will ease him into things in spring training, but all signs point to Greene being ready to roll come Opening Day. The young outfielder batted .288/.349/.447 with 11 homers across 416 plate appearances in 2023.
