DETROIT — The Detroit Tigers placed All-Star outfielder Riley Greene on the injured list Friday with a right hamstring strain. The 23-year-old Greene has been a bright spot for the struggling Tigers' offense. He is hitting .264 and leading Detroit in homers (17), runs (57) and RBIs (51). To replace Greene, the Tigers recalled utility player Ryan Vilade from Triple-A Toledo. Vilade is hitting .296 in nine major league games.
