The Detroit Tigers announced on Wednesday evening that outfielder Riley Greene underwent UCL reconstruction on his non-throwing elbow and is out for the rest of the season. Greene has been moved to the 60-day injured list. Right-hander Brenan Hanifee has been added to the 40-man roster and called up from Triple-A Toledo.
Dr. Keith Meister performed the surgery, and the prognosis appears to be very good. Greene is expected to make a full recovery in time for a normal spring training, so we can hope this will have little effect on him, or the Tigers going forward.
