SHANE GREENE NEWS

Shakes off back injury Atlanta manager Brian Snitker said Greene (back) felt good coming out of his recent appearance Tuesday with Triple-A Gwinnett, David O'Brien of The Athletic reports.

Impact Following his second appearance with Gwinnett on May 26, Greene was pushed back in the Triple-A club's pitching schedule for a couple days while he contended with back tightness. The injury only proved to be a short-term concern for Greene, who struck out one over a scoreless frame Tuesday. Since he missed all of spring training and didn't sign a minor-league deal with Atlanta until early May, Greene may need to make at least a few more appearances for Gwinnett before he garners consideration for a promotion to the big-league bullpen.

Dealing with back tightness Greene's next Triple-A appearance has been pushed back until Tuesday due to back tightness, David O'Brien of The Athletic reports.

Impact Greene signed a one-year deal with Atlanta in early May and began his minor-league assignment with Triple-A Gwinnett on May 22. Manager Brian Snitker compared Greene's injury to tightness that a pitcher might experience during spring training and didn't sound too concerned about the issue. It's not yet clear when Greene will be able to join Atlanta's bullpen.

Collects extra-innings win Greene (1-0) allowed an unearned run and a walk in one inning but earned the win in Friday's extra-innings victory over the Red Sox.

Impact The run against Greene came on an Alex Verdugo sacrifice fly in the 11th inning. In the bottom of the 11th, Freddie Freeman hit a walkoff two-run homer to give Greene the win. It's the fourth time in his last six outings that Greene has allowed a run to score, although this one won't show up on his ERA, which stands at 2.70. He's added a 1.13 WHIP, nine holds and 21 strikeouts in 26.2 innings this season.

Yet to give up run Greene walked one batter in a scoreless eighth inning during Wednesday's loss to the Yankees.

Impact The right-hander has been a dependable arm in the Atlanta bullpen to begin the season. Greene still has not allowed an earned run through eight appearances, and his 7:1 K:BB suggests that's not purely fueled by good luck. Despite his success, however, he hasn't seen a lot of high-leverage work -- Greene has only two holds so far, after recording 23 saves and 10 holds in a 2019 campaign split between Atlanta and Detroit.
