LAKELAND, Fla. — Riley Greene's exciting crescendo to his MLB debut has come to a crashing halt.
The 21-year-old outfielder suffered a fracture on the bottom part of his right foot Friday, after fouling a pitch off it, and will be out for next week's Opening Day and beyond. The injury won't require surgery at this point, Tigers manager AJ Hinch said Saturday morning, and Greene is wearing a protective boot.
"A timeline at this point would be unnecessary," Hinch said. "I don't know."
The fracture was confirmed by Dr. Robert Anderson, a foot and ankle specialist in Wisconsin.
