Riley Greene leaves Detroit Tigers game after being hit by pitch

[p]And it could end up being more than just a bruise.[/p][p]The incident occured in his only at-bat of the game, when [a href="https://www.flashscore.ca/team/cleveland-guardians/4K05MrFG/"]Guardians[/a] pitcher Tanner Bibbe threw a 3-2 fastball that caught [a href="https://www.flashscore.ca/player/greene-riley/thaiJY5Q/"]Greene[/a] on his right leg. While it did not appear as bad initially, slow-motion replay showed the pitch caught his leg guard.[/p][p]The 25-year-old took a moment after being hit, but eventually ran to first base.[/p][p]Everything appeared to be fine after that as Greene ran from first base to home on an RBI double soon thereafter as [a href="https://www.flashscore.ca/player/torkelson-spencer/M95aud5o/"]Spencer Torkelson[/a]'s hit gave the [a href="https://www.flashscore.ca/team/detroit-tigers/0QIlt8pi/"]Tigers[/a] their first run of the contest. He did not show any signs of discomfort while sprinting around the bases.[/p][embed guid="5e3c5584-7c0d-4892-851b-e020e1afd91c" url="https://x.com/tigers/status/2087329360541790592?s=20" social-type="twitter" /][p]However, Greene stayed in the third-base dugout at the beginning of the third inning, with [a href="https://www.flashscore.ca/player/malgeri-ben/CA6hJQCa/"]Ben Malgeri[/a] taking his place at left field. Then, at the beginning of the sixth inning, the Tigers announced that their All-Star outfielder would not return to the game due to right hamgstring tightness and not a contusion.[/p][p]"[b]Any time you take a guy like Riley ‌out, there is a level of concern,[/b]" manager AJ Hinch said later on as his team [a href="https://www.flashscore.ca/game/baseball/cleveland-guardians-4K05MrFG/detroit-tigers-0QIlt8pi/?mid=Qsni9t6j"]went on to win 6-4.[/a] "[b]But I have no idea. We will get up tomorrow and get him a test. When the lineup comes out tomorrow, he's not going to be on ‌it. I'm not even going to ​consider it. But we will see ‌what happens.[/b][/p][p]"[b]Hopefully it's day to day[/b]."[/p][p]Greene has barely missed any action for the Tigers this year, appearing in 116 of 118 games so far. The three-time All-Star is usually a designated hitter, currently hitting .273 with 16 home runs and 54 RBIs this season.[/p]
