Greene was placed on the 10-day injured list Friday with a right hamstring strain.

Greene uncharacteristically was held out of the lineup Friday, and the team has now provided an explanation for why. Per Cody Stavenhagen of The Athletic the strain is considered minor, which could indicate that Greene won't miss much more time than the minimum 10 days. In the meantime, Mark Canha, Bligh Madris and Ryan Vilade could see more action in the outfield.

Dominguez (oblique) was activated from the 7-day injured list by Triple-A Scranton/Wilkes-Barre on Friday, Bryan Hoch of MLB.com reports.

Dominguez missed nearly six weeks of action with a strained oblique. The top prospect has slashed .389/.405/.639 with two home runs in nine games during his time with Scranton/Wilkes-Barre this season and will be a candidate to a promotion to the majors during the second half, particularly if the Yankees aren't able to add the offensive help they desire at the trade deadline.

Greene is out of the lineup for Friday's game against the Twins.

Greene isn't part of the starting lineup for the third time in seven games despite right-hander Pablo Lopez being on the mound for Minnesota.

Mark Canha, Matt Vierling and Wenceel Perez will fill the outfield from left to right Friday.

The Tigers recalled Vilade from Triple-A Toledo on Friday, Cody Stavenhagen of The Athletic reports.

Vilade could get some starts in the outfield against lefties with Riley Greene (hamstring) joining Parker Meadows (hamstring) on the injured list. He's 8-for-27 with a homer during his brief time in the majors this season.

Urshela is out of the lineup for Friday's game against the Twins.

Urshela is absent from the Tigers' starting nine for a second consecutive game, yielding to Bligh Madris at first base. Urshela went hitless in seven at-bats during the Tigers' recent four-game series with the Guardians.
