Hunter Greene - MLB News, Rumors, & Updates

Sharp in final outing of 2024 Greene didn't factor into the decision Sunday against the Cubs, allowing one hit and three walks across four scoreless innings. He struck out three.

Impact Greene remained on a pitch count Sunday, throwing 65 pitches in his second start since being activated from the IL on Sept. 22. Despite the limitations, he performed well and fired off his eighth scoreless start of the campaign. 2024 was a career year for the 24-year-old, logging a career-best 2.75 ERA with a 169:57 K:BB across 26 starts (150.1 innings).

Tough-luck loser in return Greene (9-5) took the loss Sunday against the Pirates, allowing one earned run on two hits and one walk while striking out four in three innings.

Impact Making his first start since Aug. 13, Greene only threw 45 pitches in his three innings of work. Greene allowed a solo home run to Oneil Cruz in the opening frame but he shook off the rust afterwards, allowing just two more baserunners while striking out four. The 25-year-old's workload will be heavily scrutinized next weekend against the Cubs in what will be the final start of Greene's breakout 2024 season. The right-hander currently sports a robust 2.83 ERA, 1.02 WHIP and 166:54 K:BB in 146.1 innings (25 starts).

Activated from injured list Greene (elbow) was activated from the 15-day injured list ahead of his scheduled start Sunday against the Pirates.

Impact The first-time All-Star will return for his first start since Aug. 13, having completed a 52-pitch simulated game Tuesday. Greene figures to be on a short leash in his final two starts of the season, as the Reds prioritize keeping him healthy heading into the winter. Alan Busenitz was designated for assignment in a corresponding move.

Cleared to return Sunday Greene (elbow) will rejoin the Reds' rotation Sunday versus the Pirates, Gordon Wittenmyer of The Cincinnati Enquirer reports.

Impact Greene will be on a limited pitch count after throwing a 52-pitch simulated game Tuesday. As long as he comes out of Sunday's outing with no problems, he'll be lined up to make one last start during the final weekend of the regular season in Chicago against the Cubs. Greene has been sidelined since mid-August with right elbow inflammation.

SEPTEMBER 20 • ROTOWIRE

Throws 50-pitch simulated game Greene (elbow) threw 50 pitches over a three-inning simulated game Tuesday at Great American Ball Park, Gordon Wittenmyer of The Cincinnati Enquirer reports.

Impact Greene came out of the session feeling great. While it should set him up to rejoin the Reds' rotation Sunday against the Pirates, the team has not yet confirmed as much. If Greene does indeed start Sunday, he would be surely be working on a pretty limited pitch count. The right-hander has been shelved since mid-August with right elbow inflammation.

SEPTEMBER 17 • ROTOWIRE

Scheduled for live batting practice Green (elbow) is expected to throw a live batting practice session Tuesday, C. Trent Rosecrans of The Athletic reports.

Impact Green reported feeling good following a similar throwing session last week. It's possible he returns in time to make two starts before the end of the season.

SEPTEMBER 17 • ROTOWIRE

Feels good after throwing Greene (elbow) said Thursday that he felt good after throwing live batting practice Wednesday, MLB.com reports.

Impact Greene threw about 25 pitches Wednesday and expects to throw a longer session Saturday. The Reds are hopeful the right-hander can rejoin the rotation next week during the team's homestand.

SEPTEMBER 13 • ROTOWIRE

Schedule mapped out Greene (elbow) will throw a live batting practice session Tuesday then another one five days later, MLB.com reports.

Impact Greene is expected to throw two innings in each session. The next step after that is to pitch in a major league game during the Reds' homestand, which runs from Sept. 17-22. Cincinnati manager David Bell stressed Saturday that Green will not be built up to throw seven innings.

SEPTEMBER 8 • ROTOWIRE

Throws bullpen session Thursday Greene (elbow) threw a bullpen session Thursday, MLB.com reports.

Impact Greene was able to get back on the mound for the first time since landing on the 15-day injured list Aug. 17 after feeling soreness in his elbow. He's scheduled to throw another side session Sunday, and the Reds are hoping he could return from the IL by the end of the season, though the club has not set a target date.

SEPTEMBER 6 • ROTOWIRE

Throws bullpen session Thursday Greene (elbow) threw a bullpen session Thursday, MLB.com reports.

Impact This was Greene's first time throwing since landing on the 15-day injured list Aug. 17 as a precaution after feeling soreness in his elbow. He's scheduled to throw another session Sunday, and there's hope he could return by the end of the season, though the club has not set a target date.

SEPTEMBER 6 • ROTOWIRE

Slated for bullpen session Greene (elbow) will throw a bullpen session Thursday, Charlie Goldsmith of The Cincinnati Enquirer reports.

Impact It would appear to be the first time he's thrown off a mound since he went down with right elbow inflammation in mid-August. As long as Greene gets through Thursday's bullpen session with no hiccups, he will have another one Sunday. The righty will continue to be built back up as he aims to rejoin the Reds' rotation before the end of the season, but he would appear to still be at least a couple weeks away.

SEPTEMBER 5 • ROTOWIRE

Resumes throwing program Greene (elbow) has resumed a throwing program, Charlie Goldsmith of The Cincinnati Enquirer reports.

Impact Greene was shut down for two weeks while dealing with right elbow inflammation but has been cleared to ramp things back up. Reds manager David Bell said Friday that the club is working on a potential target date for the right-hander to return this season. Greene still has numerous boxes to check before he can rejoin the Reds' rotation, but this is welcomed news for the young hurler.

AUGUST 30 • ROTOWIRE

Good injury news confirmed Greene's elbow injury is confirmed to be inflammation and not UCL damage, MLB.com reports.

Impact The Reds received good news on the injury a week ago, but the team and Greene sought more opinions. Three separate doctors have confirmed the inflammation diagnosis. From here, the right-hander will need at least two weeks for the swelling to subside before he begins throwing. The timeline for a return to action remains unclear.

AUGUST 25 • ROTOWIRE

Good news on injury The MRI on Greene's elbow revealed the injury is not as bad as originally feared, Thomas Harrigan of MLB.com reports.

Impact Reds president of baseball operations Nick Krall said Sunday that Greene will get a second opinion but at this point, the injury is "minimal" and a "best-case scenario." The right-hander is eligible to come off the injured list Aug. 29, but it's too early in the process to put any timeline on Greene's potential return.

AUGUST 19 • MLB.COM

Undergoes MRI, awaits results Greene (elbow) underwent an MRI on Saturday, Mark Sheldon of MLB.com reports.

Impact Greene, who was placed on the 15-day injured list Saturday, declined to comment on the injury until the results of the MRI are known. Cincinnati manager David Bell sounded an optimistic note. "I would say initially, from what I've heard, it's good," Bell said. "But it's at least going to be the 15 days. I do believe there's a lot of hope to get him back after that." Bell has not yet determined who will take Greene's spot in the rotation Monday, and the team's starting depth is thin due to injuries to Graham Ashcraft (elbow) and Brandon Williamson (shoulder). Sheldon speculates that Double-A right-hander Julian Aguilar could be a leading candidate.

AUGUST 17 • MLB.COM

On IL with elbow soreness The Reds placed Greene on the 15-day injured list Saturday, retroactive to Aug. 14, due to right elbow soreness.

Impact Greene has been one of the National League's best pitchers this season, boasting a 2.83 ERA, a 1.02 WHIP and a 162:53 K:BB across 143.1 innings. For the first time this year, Greene will be forced to the injured list after experiencing pain in the elbow of his throwing arm following Tuesday's outing. If the 24-year-old can return after the minimum 15 days, he'd only miss two starts. However, it wouldn't be surprising to see the Reds play it safe with the ace despite the team being only four games out of a wild card spot. A corresponding move wasn't announced and it's unclear who'll take Greene's spot in the rotation Monday and beyond.
