We know kind of what it takes when you have that type of downtime. I guess we’ll know more definitively in the next week or so.”</p><p>Greene is undeniably the best player on the Tigers’ roster, and while he has also struggled in recent weeks, his presence has been huge for the group.

No, he isn’t being moved out of the outfield or the lineup but is instead just shifting over a spot to make room for Parker Meadows.</p><p>The Tigers called up Meadows, their no. 10 prospect and the most experienced outfielder in their farm system, to play center field, moving Greene over to right field. Greene, one of the team’s <a href="https://clutchpoints.com/young-tigers-trio-turning-heads-amid-latest-losing-season" rel="noopener">top youngsters</a>, had only played in center since being called up to Detroit. Manager A.J Hinch said that Greene has taken the chance in stride and that he will <a href="https://theathletic.com/4795182/2023/08/21/tigers-parker-meadows-debut/" rel="noopener">still get some reps in center</a>, according to Cody Stavenhagen of The Athletic.</p><p>“It doesn’t mean (Greene’s) days in center are over,” Hinch said, via The Athletic. “He’s gonna play all three for the remainder of this year and (we’ll) continue to tweak things. It’s really important that everybody’s on board with it. Riley’s been great about it.”</p><p>According to FanGraphs, Greene has a <a href="https://www.fangraphs.com/players/riley-greene/25976/stats?position=OF" rel="noopener">defensive runs saved</a> total of -7 this season. His outs above average on Statcast rank in the 56th percentile. While he did grade out as a mostly positive defender last season and is still good for a few highlight-reel catches, the Tigers see Meadows as the player better suited to patrol the premium defensive spot in the outfield.</p><p>Tigers’ president of baseball operations Scott Harris said that having Meadows and Greene together creates “one of the more dynamic outfield defenses in all of baseball,” per The Athletic. He added that Meadows has been MLB-ready as a defender and base runner for months but needed to prove himself more with his bat. With a slash line of .256/.337/.474 and 27 doubles, 19 home runs and seven triples in 113 games at the Triple-A level this year, he did just that.</p><p>Moving to a less demanding spot should allow Greene to remain effective at the plate as Detroit likely <a href="https://clutchpoints.com/mlb-news-yankees-angels-tigers-playoff-odds" rel="noopener">wraps up its season before the playoffs</a>. He has an OPS of .831, 33 RBI, 18 doubles and 11 home runs in 378 plate appearances this season. As the best hitter in the Tigers offense this season, keeping him healthy and rested is key. Moving to the corner outfield should not only make him an above-average defender again but take some wear and tear off his legs.</p><figure class="op-tracker"></figure></article>    </body></html>

The team is a year removed from a surprising 77-85 finish and placing third in the American League Central. Now, the team is 15 games under .500. And they are playing their hand, <a href="https://www.mlb.com/news/riley-greene-called-up-by-tigers">calling up top prospect Riley Greene</a>.</p><p>Greene would have made the Tigers’ opening day roster had he not suffered a fractured foot days before the season. Detroit would acquire outfielder Austin Meadows from the Tampa Bay Rays to make up for the loss. However, he along with other notable pick-ups Javier Baez and Eduardo Rodriguez has had a tough go of it this season.</p><p>The 21-year-old Greene makes his way to Detroit after Meadows tested positive for COVID-19, and his arrival couldn’t have come at a better time. Here are three reasons why Greene could be the answer the Tigers have been looking for.</p><h2>3 reasons Riley Greene is the answer to Tigers’ recent struggles</h2><h2>1) An injection of energy</h2><p>Simply put, Greene’s arrival gives Detroit a shot in the arm. It’s a similar jolt of energy the team received when they signed Baez and acquired Meadows. And it’s similar to the buzz created when the Tigers announced fellow top prospect Spencer Torkelson made the opening day roster.</p><p>Adding a top prospect to the lineup can inject a team with new life despite the struggles they may be fighting through. Greene certainly fits the bill, as the former fifth overall pick has been regarded as a top prospect for years now.</p><p>Despite his struggles, Baez is still one of the most passionate players in the league. The energy he brings, plus the buzz created with Greene’s promotion, may motivate the Tigers. And it could help them turn the ship around.</p><h2>2) Offensive punch</h2><p>The Tigers’ offense is the worst in all of baseball. Entering play Friday, they average a league-worst 2.68 runs per game. Meadows has missed time with vertigo and has yet to hit a home run in a Tigers uniform.</p><p>Baez, who signed for six years at $140 million in late November, is hitting below the Mendoza Line and holds a .190 batting average. He has 54 strikeouts to just nine walks this season in 51 games.</p><p>The Tigers need a bat that can create scoring opportunities, and in the minors, Greene did just that. Last year, Greene launched 24 home runs and drove in 84 runs across two levels of minor league baseball.</p><p>Greene doesn’t have to reproduce those numbers right now. He just needs to bring a capable bat and drive in the runs he can. And there’s no reason to think Greene won’t do that.</p><h2>3) Stability</h2><p>This one comes with a bit of a caveat, providing he stays healthy. However, this reason may also be the most important. If Greene can stay healthy, the Tigers will be more than okay.</p><p>Greene and Torkelson are not the first Tigers’ prospects to debut this year. Their injury woes have led them to call up a bevy of their minor leaguers. Among the names called up are pitchers Beau Briske and Alex Faedo. Also, Kody Clemens, son of former Yankees and Red Sox pitcher Roger Clemens, has also gotten the call.</p><p>The 21-year-old Greene won’t be expected to carry the Tigers’ offense early on. Nor should he, if we’re perfectly honest. However, getting everyone healthy is the first step to salvaging the season. If Greene can provide stability, Detroit can start focusing on winning ball games.</p><figure class="op-tracker"></figure></article>    </body></html>

They have the third-worst record in the American League at 24-39 through 63 games. This is the result of numerous factors and problems within the Tigers roster, from <a href="https://clutchpoints.com/tigers-news-eduardo-rodriguezs-marriage-problems-causing-absence-from-detroit/">marital problems</a> to <a href="https://clutchpoints.com/tigers-news-casey-mizes-brutal-2022-season-gets-even-worse-with-tommy-john-setback/">Tommy John surgeries</a>. However, it looks like help is on the way in the form of Riley Greene.</p><p>The Tigers <a href="https://twitter.com/tigers/status/1537887804151148544?s=20&amp;t=fQU5vXNDnhlQRVRHHBWHLQ">tweeted</a> the news Friday afternoon.</p><figure class="op-interactive"><blockquote class="twitter-tweet"><p dir="ltr" lang="en">Here.

While it’s unclear, the move will likely take place before the Tigers’ third game against the Texas Rangers Saturday afternoon.</p><p>Detroit is 0-1 in the series so far, the Thursday night loss extending the team’s losing streak to five. Fortunately, Greene seems to be the perfect fit to get the Tigers’ season on track.

Since then, the outfielder has played in the minor leagues, working his way up. Now, three years after he joined the franchise, Greene has the chance to change the fate of the Tigers’ season. If he plays in game 3 of the series on Saturday, it will be Greene’s MLB debut.</p><figure class="op-tracker"></figure></article>    </body></html>
