Tigers' Riley Greene: Lands on IL with hamstring strain
Rotowire
The Tigers placed Greene on the 10-day injured list Wednesday due to a right hamstring strain.
Greene sustained the injury in the second inning of the Tigers' 6-4 win over the Guardians on Tuesday, either when he was hit on his right leg by a pitch or when he was running the bases shortly thereafter. The Tigers may not know the extent of Greene's injury until he undergoes an MRI, but the club will elect to hold him out for at least the next week and a half. Detroit called up Corey Julks from Triple-A Toledo in a corresponding move, and the Tigers will likely lean on a combination of Julks, Ben Malgeri and James Outman to fill in in left field while Greene is on the mend.

Tigers' Riley Greene: Exits early after HBP
Rotowire
Greene (leg) was removed from Tuesday's contest against the Guardians in the third inning, Evan Woodbery of MLive.com reports.
Greene took a 92.1 mph sinker from Cleveland right-hander Tanner Bibee off his right leg to open the bottom of the second inning, and he was ultimately able to stay in the game long enough to score on a one-out RBI double by Spencer Torkelson. Greene was then taken out of the game prior to the top of the third frame, and Ben Malgeri took over in left field. Greene will likely undergo imaging on the leg, and more information on his status will likely be provided in the near future.

Greene has now gone deep on consecutive days to begin June, and he's up to six home runs this season across 62 games to go along with a strong .859 OPS. He has a lot of work to do if he wants to match his regular-season total of 36 homers from last year, but the 25-year-old is off to a great start this month, and he should remain locked into fantasy lineups as Detroit's primary offensive catalyst.
