Cincinnati Reds right-hander Hunter Greene (groin) is scheduled to throw four innings in his next minor-league rehab start for Triple-A Louisville on Tuesday, according to Charlie Goldsmith of The Cincinnati Enquirer. Greene pitched in the rookie-level Arizona Complex League last Wednesday and threw two scoreless innings while striking out four and walking one for his first appearance in a game since June 3. The 25-year-old hurler is recovering from a strained right groin and could need a third rehab outing before the Reds feel comfortable having him rejoin their starting rotation for the final two months of the season. The hard-throwing righty should be rostered in all fantasy leagues, especially now that he's nearing a return to Cincy. The former first-rounder looked strong before his injury with a 2.72 ERA, 0.97 WHIP and 73 K's in 59 2/3 frames over 11 starts.

Cincinnati Reds right-hander Hunter Greene (groin) delivered an encouraging performance in a rehab start in the rookie-level Arizona Complex League on Wednesday. Greene, who's working back from a strained right groin, tossed two scoreless, no-hit innings with four strikeouts against one walk. The 25-year-old threw 28 pitches (16 strikes), and should climb to the Triple-A level for a start on July 29 if he gets through the next handful of days unscathed. Greene has been on the 15-day IL twice this year with groin issues and hasn't pitched since June 3. When healthy, though, Greene has been spectacular. He owns a 2.72 ERA with a 0.97 WHIP and 73:14 K:BB across 59 2/3 innings.

Cincinnati Reds starting pitcher Hunter Greene (groin) is scheduled to throw two innings in the Arizona Complex League on Wednesday, according to MLB.com. If all goes well for Greene in the ACL, he'll make his next appearance with Triple-A Louisville on July 29. Greene has been on the 15-day injured list since June 4 due to a right groin strain. In 59 2/3 innings (11 starts) before getting hurt, he was 4-3 with a 2.72 ERA, 0.97 WHIP, and 73 strikeouts. His 24.9% K-BB% rate was the best of his career, and his 2.95 xERA backs up his stellar surface-level numbers. Greene is a fantasy ace when healthy, and it appears as though he's on track for an early-August return barring any setbacks.

Cincinnati Reds manager Terry Francona said that right-hander Hunter Greene (groin) is on track to start a minor-league rehab assignment early next week. Greene will make his first rehab start in the rookie-level Arizona Complex League before joining Triple-A Louisville. The 25-year-old last pitched in the big leagues since June 3, so he's going to need a handful of rehab starts before the Reds let him rejoin the major-league starting rotation. That means that fantasy managers shouldn't expect Greene back until sometime in August. Despite being out for an extended stretch, the former second overall pick should remain rostered in all fantasy leagues, as he has high-end upside when he's healthy. Greene had gone 4-3 with a 2.72 ERA, 0.97 WHIP and 73 strikeouts in 59 2/3 innings over his 11 starts before he landed on the IL.

Cincinnati Reds manager Terry Francona said that right-hander Hunter Greene (groin) is headed to the team's spring training facility in Arizona to continue his rehab. "There's no roadmap for the next step in the pitcher's progression," said Francona. The 25-year-old has not pitched since early June and has been on the injured list twice with a groin issue. The Reds are being cautious with him, given that he has not yet begun a pitching progression, which makes an August return seem the most likely. Before landing on the injured list, Greene posted a 2.72 ERA, 0.97 WHIP, and 73 strikeouts across 59 2/3 innings. Fantasy managers should continue to stash Greene for now.

Cincinnati Reds starting pitcher Hunter Greene (groin) was shut down before his scheduled start in Triple-A on Tuesday and underwent an MRI on Monday that came back clean. Manager Terry Francona said, "We're really pleased with it. He's still feeling it at times." The team is still planning on taking it easy with Greene even after the clean results to allow him time to recover and build back confidence in the injury. The good news for Greene and his fantasy managers is that he isn't dealing with a more serious issue, but the disappointing news is that there is still no clear-cut timeline for him to get back on the mound. He was hopeful to get back before the All-Star break, but now it looks like the end of the month is the best-case scenario, with August being the more likely target for a return. Greene has been on the shelf since June 4 due to a Grade 1 right groin strain after a strong start to the season.

Cincinnati Reds starting pitcher Hunter Greene (groin) was expected to take the ball for Triple-A Louisville on Tuesday. Now that won't happen after Greene experienced renewed tightness in his right groin. The right-hander underwent an MRI on Monday after feeling discomfort in his groin. For now, the Reds are taking it day-by-day, but Greene figures to be out until the end of July. Fantasy managers will have a better idea after the MRI results are in. Greene has been out since June 4 due to a Grade 1 right groin strain. There was some hope Greene could pitch before the All-Star break, but that is over now. Fantasy managers can be hopeful to get something out of Greene before the end of the month.

Cincinnati Reds right-hander Hunter Greene (back, groin) will begin a Triple-A rehab assignment on Tuesday, according to Charlie Goldsmith of FOX 19. Greene has been on the 15-day injured list twice this year because of a strained right groin, and the latest issue has kept him out since June 3. The 25-year-old has also dealt with back soreness. When he has been able to pitch, Greene has gone 4-3 with a 2.72 ERA, a whopping 73 strikeouts against 14 walks, and a 0.97 WHIP in 59 2/3 innings. He could make a significant impact in the second half of the season if he stays healthy.

Cincinnati Reds right-hander Hunter Greene (back, groin) threw one inning and faced five batters during his live batting practice session on Wednesday, according to FOX 19's Charlie Goldsmith. Greene felt good after the session and is expected to repeat the process in Philadelphia this weekend. After that, the hard-throwing 25-year-old could be cleared to begin a minor-league rehab assignment. Greene is making progress from a sore back and a right-groin strain, but fantasy managers aren't going to get him back until the second half of the season with the All-Star break quickly approaching. It doesn't make sense for the Reds to rush him back right before the All-Star break since he's been on the shelf since June 4. Greene shouldn't be floating around on any waiver wires after starting the year with a 2.72 ERA, 0.97 WHIP and 73 strikeouts in 59 2/3 innings in his first 11 starts.

Cincinnati Reds right-hander Hunter Greene (back, groin) is scheduled to throw a bullpen session in Boston on Wednesday, according to FOX 19's Charlie Goldsmith. If Greene comes out of that session fine, he'll throw again in Philadelphia before embarking on a minor-league rehab assignment. The 25-year-old's rehab process from a back and groin injury has gone well, but fantasy managers should not expect to have him back until the start of the second half of the season in late July. He last made a start for the Reds on June 3 versus the Milwaukee Brewers. Despite the long layoff, Greene is deserving of being stashed in an IL spot in all fantasy leagues. Before his injury, the hard-throwing hurler had gone 4-3 with a 2.72 ERA and 0.97 WHIP with 73 strikeouts and 14 walks in 59 2/3 innings over his 11 starts as the Reds' ace.

Cincinnati Reds right-hander Hunter Greene (back, groin) is scheduled to throw a bullpen session when the team is in Boston next week for a series against the Red Sox. Greene is working his way back from multiple injuries that have kept him out for over three weeks now. It's good to see the hard-throwing 25-year-old hander getting ready to get back on the mound, but at this point in the schedule with the All-Star break quickly approaching, it's unlikely that he'll rejoin Cincy's starting rotation until the start of the second half of the season on July 18. Until then, the team's top pitching prospect, Chase Burns, will get a run in the big-league rotation after making his MLB debut on Tuesday night against the Yankees. Greene is a must-stash in all fantasy formats and had a 2.72 ERA, 0.97 WHIP and 73 K's in 59 2/3 innings over 11 starts before his injury. He has the potential to be a difference-maker in the second half if he's healthy.

Cincinnati Reds starting pitcher Hunter Greene (groin) will report to Arizona to continue his rehab process. The right-hander was placed on the 15-day injured list with a Grade 1 groin strain earlier in June. Greene recently sought a second opinion on his strain. Fantasy managers should continue to monitor his status as he may not miss too much time if he can begin his rehab process soon. Before the injury, the hard-throwing right-hander was enjoying a strong start to the season, posting a stellar 2.72 ERA with a 0.97 WHIP. Across 59 2/3 innings of work, Greene struck out 73 batters while posting an excellent 5.9% walk rate. He also sits in the 87th percentile in xERA and xBA. While Greene remains sidelined, Wade Miley should continue to remain in the rotation.

Cincinnati Reds right-hander Hunter Greene's (back, groin) second opinion/MRI exam on his sore right groin showed nothing worse than the first one, according to The Cincinnati Enquirer's Gordon Wittenmyer. Since he's on the 15-day injured list anyway, Greene also received an epidural injection for back soreness that developed in his last start. The 25-year-old will have one more meeting with doctors in Los Angeles before we'll receive a clearer timetable for his potential return. A groin strain sent Greene to the IL in early June, but since he hasn't resumed throwing yet, fantasy managers shouldn't expect him back in Cincy's starting rotation for at least another few weeks. It remains to be seen if he'll go on a minor-league rehab assignment. Greene should be stashed everywhere, as he had a 2.72 ERA and 0.97 WHIP with 73 punchouts in 59 2/3 frames over his first 11 starts in 2025.

Cincinnati Reds right-hander Hunter Greene (groin) is headed to Los Angeles on Monday for a second medical opinion on his back and his injured groin, according to The Cincinnati Enquirer's Gordon Wittenmyer. Greene landed on the 15-day injured list last Wednesday with a right-groin strain and is now also apparently dealing with a back ailment. Second opinions usually aren't a good sign, but the good news is that Greene isn't dealing with an injury to his right arm. The hard-throwing 25-year-old is eligible to come off the IL on June 19, but it remains to be seen if that will happen, and it will likely depend on what doctors say on Monday. Until he's able to return, veteran left-hander Wade Miley is expected to work in Cincy's starting rotation. Greene needs to be stashed in an IL spot in all fantasy formats while he recovers.

The Cincinnati Reds have placed right-hander Hunter Greene (groin) on the 15-day injured list with a right-groin strain and signed Wade Miley in a corresponding move, Charlie Goldsmith of The Cincinnati Enquirer reports. The hard-throwing right-hander was removed from the game on Tuesday, as he felt his groin grab on the final two pitches. This will now be his second trip to the injured list with the same right-groin injury. According to Greene, "It's not really concerning, it's frustrating." Greene is having one of his best seasons of his career, making a push to be a Cy Young Award contender with a 2.72 ERA and 73 strikeouts in 59 2/3 innings pitched. But for now, he will miss his next few starts and target a mid-June return date. In the meantime, fantasy managers will want to stash him on their IL and look elsewhere for production.

Cincinnati Reds starting pitcher Hunter Greene had his start cut short after five innings and 85 pitches after feeling a grab in his groin. Manager Terry Francona said that he is set for an MRI tomorrow morning, reports Mike Petraglia. This is not good news at all for the flamethrower, who already spent time on the injured list this season with a groin strain. This was only his third start since returning and was finally starting to look like himself again with seven strikeouts through the five innings prior to feeling the grab. More updates will be available tomorrow after the MRI, but at this point, it's likely he's headed back to the injured list if it never fully healed the first time.

Cincinnati Reds right-hander Hunter Greene (groin) returned to start Friday after missing almost three weeks with a Grade 1 groin strain. In his first appearance since May 7, Greene threw four innings (83 pitches) of two-run ball with three hits, two walks, and two strikeouts in a 13-6 loss to the Chicago Cubs. He did not factor into the decision. The 25-year-old flamethrower didn't embark on a rehab assignment before returning, so it wasn't surprising that he failed to go deep into the game. While Friday's outing was unspectacular, Greene still boasts a tremendous 2.54 ERA with 63 strikeouts against 10 walks over 49 2/3 frames. He's scheduled to make his next start Wednesday in Kansas City, whose offense ranks near the bottom of the league in runs scored.

Cincinnati Reds manager Terry Francona said that right-hander Hunter Greene (groin) is scheduled to return from the 15-day injured list to start on Friday against the division-rival Chicago Cubs. It was announced earlier on Monday that Greene would return at some point this weekend, but now we know it will be for the series opener against Chicago at Great American Ball Park. The 25-year-old has been a must-start for fantasy managers all season long, but the former second overall pick in 2017 will be much more risky in his first start back against the first-place Cubs, especially since he will return without going on a minor-league rehab assignment. Greene has 61 strikeouts and only eight walks in 45 2/3 innings over his eight starts in 2025 and has allowed three runs or less in seven of his eight starts.

The Cincinnati Reds are expecting right-hander Hunter Greene (groin) to return from the injured list this weekend to face the division-rival Chicago Cubs. "When we play the Cubs, Hunter Greene will be ready to slot in there," manager Terry Francona said. It's unclear exactly what day Greene will take the ball again, but the Reds open their three-game series against Chicago on Friday, May 23. The hard-throwing 25-year-old will skip a minor-league rehab assignment after looking really good during a bullpen session on Sunday. Greene landed on the IL after suffering a Grade 1 right-groin strain on May 7. While he was a must-start in fantasy before his injury, Greene will be a little more risky against a strong Cubs lineup in a hitter-friendly ballpark when he returns this weekend. He could also be on a pitch limit given the fact he won't be going on a rehab assignment.

Cincinnati Reds manager Terry Francona said that right-hander Hunter Greene (groin) will throw a bullpen session on Saturday. Greene is recovering from a Grade 1 strain of his right groin on May 8 and will now proceed to throw his first bullpen in his recovery process. The hard-throwing 25-year-old could require multiple bullpen sessions before being cleared to go on a minor-league rehab assignment, so his timetable for a return is a bit unclear right now. But barring a setback, it's not out of the question that he'll be back in the Reds' starting rotation before the calendar flips to June. The former second overall pick in 2017 needs to be stashed in an injured-list spot in all fantasy formats as the team' ace. Before hurting his groin, Greene had gone 4-2 with a 2.36 ERA and 0.81 WHIP with 61 strikeouts and only eight walks in 45 2/3 innings over eight starts.
