Greene allowed no runs on one hit while striking out three across 1.2 innings to earn his fifth save Saturday against the White Sox.
EDGE Analysis
Greene was protecting a three-run lead and earned his second-consecutive save while pitching more than one inning. He's saved five games this month, and with a 2.70 ERA, he's been a useful option for fantasy managers.

Greene allowed one hit through 1.2 scoreless innings of work in Thursday's win over the Yankees to collect his fourth save of the season. He struck out two batters.
EDGE Analysis
Greene has now converted four consecutive save opportunities, and he has yet to blow a save since being entrusted with the closer role following the Justin Wilson trade. The 28-year-old owns a healthy 2.78 ERA and 60:28 K:BB through 55 innings this season, so he should remain locked in as Detroit's closer, though he likely won't see too many save chances down the stretch for the rebuilding Tigers.

Greene allowed two earned runs on three hits in two thirds of an inning during Wednesday's loss to the Rangers.
EDGE Analysis
Greene came on to pitch the bottom of the eighth with the Tigers down 10-4. He gave up a home run to Joey Gallo and a run-scoring double to Robinson Chirinos before getting lifted with two outs. Greene still has a solid 2.75 ERA and he should remain locked in as the closer for the rebuilding Tigers the rest of the way.

Greene (3-2) recorded the win in Saturday's game against the Twins. He allowed two hits and a walk in an inning of work, but kept Minnesota off the board while striking out two.
EDGE Analysis
Greene entered a non-save situation in the top of the ninth with the Tigers down 11-10, and ended up loading the bases with two outs. However, he struck out Miguel Sano to escape without giving up any runs. Greene then picked up the win when Justin Upton blasted a walk-off two-run home run in the bottom of the inning. Greene has been solid since being named Detroit's closer at the beginning of the month following the trade of Justin Wilson. In 5.2 innings, he hasn't allowed any runs while striking out six and picking up three saves.

Greene pitched a scoreless ninth inning without allowing a baserunner to collect his third save of the season during Thursday's win over Baltimore.
EDGE Analysis
Greene hasn't allowed a run through his past 16 appearances (14.1 innings) and has converted three consecutive save opportunities since the trade deadline. He sports a rock-solid 2.54 ERA, 1.17 WHIP and 9.6 K/9 for the season, and the 28-year-old righty projects to remain a solid fantasy asset now that he's locked down the job as Detroit's closer.

Greene struck out two in a perfect ninth inning Wednesday to record his second save of the season in a 2-0 win over the Yankees.
EDGE Analysis
After walking two batters Tuesday en route to his first save since taking over as the Tigers closer, Greene looked much sharper in this one. His 5.0 BB/9 is a concern, but as long as he keeps getting the job done he should be a solid source of saves over the final two months of the year.

Greene recorded his first save of the season in Tuesday's win over the Yankees. He pitched 1.2 scoreless innings, walking two and striking out one.
EDGE Analysis
After being named the new closer Monday following the trade of Justin Wilson, Greene got a chance right away. He got a quick double-play grounder to end a threat in the eighth, but made things interesting with two walks in the ninth before closing the door. With a 2.64 ERA and 9.6 K/9, Greene could be a solid fantasy option down the stretch if he continues to convert save opportunities.

Manager Brad Ausmus said that Greene will be the Tigers' closer moving forward, Evan Woodbery of MLive.com reports.
EDGE Analysis
There was some speculation that this may be the case if left-hander Justin Wilson were traded prior to the trade deadline, and with Wilson heading to Chicago, Greene now will have an open path to save opportunities. The 28-year-old right-hander is having a career year in the Tigers' bullpen, producing a 2.74 ERA and 50 strikeouts in 46 innings pitched, but the newfound role in Detroit exponentially increases his value in all fantasy formats.
