Shane Greene (born November 17, 1988) is an American professional baseball pitcher for the Detroit Tigers of Major League Baseball (MLB). He previously played for the New York Yankees.
Career
Greene attended East Ridge High School in Clermont, Florida, and played for their baseball team as a pitcher.[1] He received a scholarship to attend the University of West Florida, in order to play college baseball for the West Florida Argonauts. He lost his scholarship in May 2008 when he had to undergo Tommy John surgery. He transferred to Daytona Beach Community College. While rehabilitating, the velocity of his fastball improved from 89 miles per hour (143 km/h) before the surgery to 93 to 94 miles per hour (150 to 151 km/h) after.[2][3]
New York Yankees
The New York Yankees selected Greene in the 15th round of the 2009 MLB Draft.[4] He was added to the 40-man roster on November 20, 2013.[5] He won the Kevin Lawn Award as the Yankees Minor League Pitcher of the Year for 2013.[6][7]
Greene was assigned to the Scranton/Wilkes-Barre RailRiders of the Class AAA International League to start the 2014 season. He was promoted to the major leagues on April 9, 2014.[8] He made his MLB debut against the Boston Red Sox in Fenway Park on April 24. In July, Greene replaced Vidal Nuño in the Yankees starting rotation,[9] and he remained in the starting rotation for the remainder of the season.[10] He ended the season with a 5–4 win–loss record and a 3.78 earned run average (ERA), while recording more than one strikeout per inning pitched.[11]
Detroit Tigers
On December 5, 2014, the Yankees traded Greene to the Detroit Tigers in a three-team trade that brought Robbie Ray and Domingo Leyba to the Arizona Diamondbacks, and Didi Gregorius to the New York Yankees.[12] Greene began the 2015 season in the Tigers' starting rotation, where he posted a 3–0 record, allowing only one earned run in his first three starts with an 0.39 ERA. In his next 10 starts, he posted a 1–6 record with an 8.60 ERA, allowing 16 earned runs on 21 hits over nine innings in his last three starts. On June 12, Greene was optioned to the Toledo Mud Hens of the International League, and his spot in the rotation was given to Kyle Ryan.[13] On June 16, in his first start for the Mud Hens, Greene went 71⁄3 innings, allowing four hits, no runs, and one strikeout.[14]
On July 27, 2015, it was announced that the Tigers would move Greene from the starting rotation to the bullpen. Since returning to the Tigers following a stint with the Toledo Mud Hens on July 12, he has given up 17 runs on 24 hits over 132⁄3 innings. He has posted a 9.20 ERA in his last 13 appearances, and has not lasted more than five innings in his last six starts.[15][16] On August 23, 2015, Greene was diagnosed with a pseudoaneurysm in his throwing hand, and underwent season-ending surgery on August 27 to repair the circumflex artery in his throwing shoulder, ending his season with a 4–8 record and a 6.88 ERA in 18 games.[17][18]
