Riley Greene is out of the lineup for the Detroit Tigers against the Toronto Blue Jays Sunday.

Fantasy Impact

Greene will receive the afternoon off for rest reasons, with Mark Canha starting in left field and batting third for manager AJ Hinch against the Blue Jays Sunday.

Riley Greene went 1-for-4 with a double and a run scored in the Tigers' 6-2 win over the Blue Jays.

Fantasy Impact

While the performance itself was modest, Greene's ability to contribute to the team's win with an extra-base hit is a positive takeaway. His season batting average remains a concern at .235, and his power numbers, though decent with nine home runs, suggest room for improvement. Greene's .337 wOBA indicates some effectiveness at the plate, but his high strikeout rate of .262 continues to be a limiting factor. Fantasy managers should view him as a potential depth option, particularly in leagues that reward extra-base hits, while keeping an eye on any signs of reduced strikeouts or increased batting consistency.

Riley Greene went 1-for-5 in the Tigers' 2-1 loss to the Guardians with a home run and one RBI.

Fantasy Impact

Despite the team's defeat, Greene's ability to connect for his ninth homer of the season highlights his ongoing power potential. His current .266 batting average and .397 wOBA suggest he remains a valuable asset in fantasy lineups, particularly in categories that reward power and on-base skills. Fantasy managers should continue to monitor his performance closely, especially in leagues that penalize strikeouts.
