On Wednesday morning, the Detroit Tigers announced that outfielder Riley Greene has been moved to the 10-day injured list with a stress fracture of his left fibula. He was removed in the fifth inning of Tuesday’s game against the Texas Rangers with what was initially described as lower leg discomfort. There is no timetable for his return.
Things could always be worse, but this diagnosis after an MRI revealed the fracture was just about the worst case scenario based on the sequence of events. Greene reported some discomfort early in the game on Tuesday but thought he could play through it.
