Riley Greene went 3-for-5 with two home runs and four RBI in Friday's 9-1 win over the Los Angeles Angels. Greene crushed a solo shot off Angels closer
Kenley Jansen in the top of the ninth inning to give the Tigers a 2-1 lead. The 24-year-old got another at-bat in the ninth frame and crushed a two-run shot off Jake Elder for his second home run of the game. Greene became the 62nd player to homer twice in one inning. He made history, becoming the first player to ever hit two long balls in the ninth. Greene has now homered four times over his last five games. Overall, he is slashing .276/.324/.504 with eight home runs, 20 RBI, and 19 runs across 136 plate appearances. Greene should be in all fantasy lineups while he continues to wield a hot bat.

Greene is now hitting .234 with six homers, 14 runs, and 16 RBI across 111 at-bats this season. He now has three homers and eight RBI over his past seven games.

Riley Greene is not in the starting nine on Sunday afternoon when the Tigers conclude a series with the Chicago White Sox. Greene has started in each of the first eight contests of the regular season. Through this start, Greene has been swinging a hot bat, posting a .361/.361/.722 slash line with four doubles and three home runs. Instead, the Tigers will give
Kerry Carpenter the starting nod in left field. Fantasy managers should expect Greene to return to the starting nine on Monday afternoon when the team kicks off a series against the New York Yankees. Carpenter and the Detroit offense are worth targeting in DFS facing Chicago southpaw
Martin Perez, who posted a high 4.53 ERA last season.

Riley Greene went 2-for-4 with a double and a home run in his team's 4-1 road win over the Seattle Mariners on Tuesday. Greene knocked in one RBI and scored and struck out twice. The former fifth-overall pick of the 2019 draft posted two hard-hit balls in this one -- his double came off the bat at 95.9 MPH, and the round-tripper, a 106.2 MPH blast to left-center-field off
Trent Thornton. Greene curiously hasn't drawn a walk yet -- something he did at an 11.0% clip a season ago -- and holds a ghastly 43.5% strikeout rate. However, those should normalize as the season trudges along. The 24-year-old is 6-for-23 (.261) with two homers, two doubles, two RBI, and four runs.
