Greiner is out of the lineup for Thursday's game against the Angels.
EDGE Analysis
After catching each of the Tigers' last three games while going 2-for-9 with a double, a walk and two runs, Greiner will get a breather in the series finale. With Detroit moving Eric Haase (abdomen) to the 10-day injured list Thursday, Greiner should have an extended runaway as Detroit's No. 1 catcher. However, the newly acquired Dustin Garneau will get the nod behind the dish Thursday.

Greiner is starting at catcher and batting eighth in Sunday's game against Cleveland.
EDGE Analysis
With Eric Haase getting a well-deserved day off after 11 straight starts, Greiner will enter the lineup for the Sunday matinee. The 28-year-old was removed from Thursday's contest but was only suffering from cramps, so he'll continue serving in the backup catcher role for the Tigers.

Greiner was removed from Thursday's game with cramps and did not suffer an injury, Chris McCosky of The Detroit News reports.
EDGE Analysis
It was suspected that Greiner had suffered a hamstring injury, but instead he was lifted only as a precaution. He should be available to return to his normal backup duties behind the dish for the team's weekend series against Cleveland.

Greiner was removed from Thursday's game against the Orioles with an apparent right hamstring injury, Evan Woodbery of MLive.com reports.
EDGE Analysis
Greiner appeared to be grabbing at his right hamstring while catching in the bottom of the fifth inning, but he was initially able to remain in the game after he was visited by trainers. However, he was removed by a pinch hitter in the top of the sixth inning after he went 0-for-2 with a strikeout to begin the game. The exact nature and severity of the issue hasn't yet been revealed.

Greiner went 2-for-3 with a double, two walks, two runs and two RBI in Wednesday's 17-14 win over the Twins.
EDGE Analysis
With Eric Haase serving as the designated hitter in the series finale while Miguel Cabrera rested, Greiner cracked the lineup Wednesday and joined the Detroit hit parade. Even after reaching base four times on the day, Greiner's on-base average sits at an underwhelming .275 on the campaign.

Greiner was recalled from Triple-A Toledo on Monday.
EDGE Analysis
Greiner was activated from the injured list and optioned to Toledo on Friday, but it didn't take long for him to return to the majors. The 28-year-old and Eric Haase should split opportunities behind the plate with Jake Rogers (arm) on the injured list.

Greiner (hamstring) was activated off the 10-day injured list an optioned to Triple-A Toledo on Friday.
EDGE Analysis
Greiner had already been with Toledo on a rehab assignment, going 6-for-14 at the plate over five games, and will now remain with the team as a regular member of the squad. He played 14 games at the big-league level prior to suffering his hamstring injury but hit just .237/.256/.342, so it's hardly a surprise to see him remain in the minors, especially with Eric Haase swinging a hot bat, posting an .850 OPS on the season.

Greiner (hamstring) is expected to resume his rehab assignment at Triple-A Toledo on Sunday, Evan Woodbery of MLive.com reports.
EDGE Analysis
Greiner was placed on the injured list May 12 with a strained left hamstring. He began a rehab assignment May 25, but needed to pause playing in games May 30 because of discomfort. He's tentatively scheduled to resume playing at Toledo on Sunday, which should mark an important step in returning to Detroit at some point later in June.

Greiner (hamstring) had his rehab assignment with Triple-A Toledo paused due to some discomfort, Cody Stavenhagen of The Athletic reports.
EDGE Analysis
The 28-year-old began the rehab stint Wednesday but has been taking it easy the past couple days after the discomfort surfaced. Manager A.J. Hinch said he "wouldn't officially call it a setback," but it will certainly push back Greiner's return timeline. The backstop seemed close to being activated from the injured list but will need a bit more time on the shelf.
