right elbow surgery
Reds' ace Hunter Greene could miss up to 4 months following right elbow surgery
GOODYEAR, Ariz. (AP) --- Cincinnati Reds' ace Hunter Greene is scheduled to
undergo surgery Wednesday on his right elbow and could miss up to the first
four months of the season.
The Reds said Greene was diagnosed with bone chips and loose bodies in his
elbow. Greene needed an MRI last week after he left spring training camp due to
right elbow stiffness.
Greene went 7-4 with a 2.76 ERA last year, helping Cincinnati earn an NL wild
card for its first playoff appearance since 2020.
Greene, whose 99.5 mph average four-seam fastball velocity led the major
leagues among those throwing at least 1,250 pitches, was limited to a
career-low 19 starts and 107 2/3 innings. Still, his 296 pitches of 100 mph or
higher were second in the major leagues behind Mason Miller's 422.
Greene was placed on the 15-day injured list on May 9 with a right groin
strain. He returned on May 23 and made three starts before going back on the IL
with the same injury. This time, he was sidelined until Aug. 13.
The 26-year-old Greene is entering his fifth big league season. He made the NL
All-Star team for the first time in 2024 while going 9-5 with a 2.75 ERA in 26
starts. He also had 169 strikeouts in 150 1/3 innings despite spending time on
the IL that year with elbow soreness.
