Reds Place Young Star Pitcher Back on Injured List

The Cincinnati Reds have placed their top pitcher, Hunter Greene, back on the 15-day injured list due to right elbow soreness, the team announced on Wednesday. Greene's return to the injured list follows his absence from the beginning of the season until early July after undergoing an elbow procedure. This latest setback is particularly concerning for the Reds, who had already been without him for an extended period.

Greene, a star pitcher for the Reds, has struggled with his performance this season, appearing in just five games with a 2-2 record, a 6.83 ERA, and 33 strikeouts. Prior to this season, Greene posted a 7-4 record and a 2.76 ERA in 19 starts for the Reds in 2025, earning him an All-Star selection in 2024 with a 9-5 record and a 2.75 ERA.

With Greene being a crucial part of the Reds' starting rotation, the team is hoping that this elbow issue isn't as serious as it seems. The Reds will be hopeful that Greene can return to full health soon, as they strive to improve their performance on the field. In his career, Greene has played 96 MLB games over five seasons with the Reds, compiling a 27-31 record, a 3.82 ERA, and 650 strikeouts.
