The Detroit Tigers reinstated outfielder Riley Greene from the injured list and recalled right-handed reliever Beau Brieske from Triple-A Toledo before Tuesday's game against the Minnesota Twins. The moves were made possible by MLB's expansion of active rosters from 26 to 28 players on Tuesday, which meant no corresponding roster moves were required, as reported by MLive and Newsweek.

Greene's Return

Greene had been on the injured list since Aug. 12 after straining his right hamstring while running the bases. He made two rehabilitation appearances with Triple-A Toledo, recording one hit and two walks in eight plate appearances, according to Newsweek.

A three-time All-Star who turns 26 this month, Greene is hitting .273 with an .816 OPS in 492 plate appearances this season, according to M Live Michigan. He has 25 doubles and 16 home runs. Newsweek reports Greene has 16 home runs and 54 RBIs through 117 games, with his .816 OPS the highest among the Tigers' regular players. The statistical discrepancy across reports reflects different accounting of his performance at the time of each report.

M Live reports the Tigers were 59-60 when Greene went on the injured list and have gone 4-14 in his absence, scoring three or fewer runs in 12 of the 18 games he missed. Newsweek notes the Tigers have lost eight of their last 10 games and characterize the series against the Twins as a must-win for the club's slim postseason hopes.

Greene's Injury and Rehab

Greene strained his right hamstring while running the bases on Aug. 12 Ia n. He made two rehab appearances with Triple-A Toledo, recording one hit and two walks in eight plate appearances.

Pitching Addition

The Tigers also recalled right-handed reliever Beau Brieske from Triple-A Toledo. Brieske, 28, has pitched in parts of five seasons for the Tigers, making 15 starts in 2022 before transitioning to a bullpen role in 2023. He has had two stints with the Tigers this season, including a return from the injured list on July 1.

Roster Expansion

MLB active rosters expanded from 26 to 28 players on Tuesday, allowing the Tigers to add both Greene and Brieske without corresponding roster moves.

What was claimed, and who backed it

AI-extracted; can misattribute a claim — see Methodology.

Each row is one claim, attributed to the outlet whose wording states it most clearly. Confidence rates how directly the source text states the claim — explicit and unhedged rates high; hedged, pieced-together, or internally inconsistent statements rate lower. It does not measure whether the claim is true. Status is Contested when two claims on this page negate each other; otherwise it counts the distinct outlets we found asserting that specific claim — so a single-source claim can still show high confidence, and a multi-source claim can show medium. Every one of those outlets is named beside the status, so you can check the count against the list. For claims extracted before we began storing that list, the row says so: it names the outlet the claim is quoted from and states that we have not recorded which outlets backed it. Outlets wrote at different times, so a figure that evolves — a casualty count, for example — can legitimately differ between rows; check the "as of" time next to each claim's source.
