Cincinnati Reds starting pitcher Hunter Greene (hip) is dealing with some hip stiffness and won't make his next start until next Sunday against the St. Louis Cardinals. As a result, the Reds are calling up prospect Andrew Abbott to make his major-league debut on Monday against the Milwaukee Brewers. The Reds don't think the 23-year-old right-hander's hip injury is very serious, but he'll have added risk in his next start against the Cardinals. Fantasy managers shouldn't be too worried yet, as Greene has had back-to-back awesome starts, allowing just one run on two hits while walking five and striking out 19 in 12 innings in his last two starts against the Cubs and Red Sox. Overall, he's gone 1-4 with a 3.92 ERA (3.48 FIP), 1.32 WHIP, 25 walks and 88 K's in 62 innings over his 12 starts.

Cincinnati Reds right-hander Hunter Greene tossed six innings during Thursday's 8-2 loss to the Boston Red Sox. However, the sophomore did everything he could, giving up just one run on two hits while striking out eight and walking three. Greene is coming into his own this season, posting a 3.92 ERA and 1.32 WHIP with a dominant 33.0% strikeout rate over 12 starts. He's managed just one victory, though, while playing on the lowly Reds, but there should be some positive regression in that category. Fantasy managers need to start Greene every start in all formats, including his next game, which should come on Tuesday to take on the Los Angeles Dodgers.

Cincinnati Reds pitcher Hunter Greene had an outstanding outing, throwing six no-hit innings as the Reds topped the Chicago Cubs 9-0 Friday. Greene registered 110 pitches, striking out 11 batters while surrendering only two walks. For the 23-year-old, it was his first win in 2023. Success in Friday's start should be a much-needed boost for the right-handed hurler, who so far has had a tough season with a 4.18 ERA in 11 starts.

Cincinnati Reds starting pitcher Hunter Greene made it through seven innings for the first time this year versus the New York Yankees on Sunday. He allowed four runs, however, and remains without a win to his ledger on the campaign after the Reds fell 4-1. The absence of a single victory in 10 starts severely diminishes his overall fantasy appeal and Greene's 4.68 ERA isn't exactly compensating for this shortcoming. The flame-throwing righty has missed 69 bats in 50 innings, but he's going to stay very volatile for fantasy purposes while starting home games at the hitter-friendly Great American Ball Park. Dynasty fantasy managers should stay patient, though, with the former second-overall pick.

Cincinnati Reds starting pitcher Hunter Greene (leg) is listed as the team's probable starter on Sunday against the Pittsburgh Pirates and right-hander Vince Velasquez. Greene suffered a right tibia contusion in his last start on Monday against the Tampa Bay Rays after he was hit in the leg by a comebacker, but the injury isn't serious and he'll close out the four-game series against Pittsburgh. The hard-throwing 23-year-old right-hander also just signed a six-year, $53 million contract extension, so he's locked into the Reds' starting rotation for the long term. Despite getting injured in his last start, Greene is an attractive starting option this weekend against the Bucs. He has a 4.24 ERA (2.50 FIP), 1.53 WHIP, six walks and 24 K's in 17 innings over his first four starts this year.

Cincinnati Reds starting pitcher Hunter Greene has agreed to a long-term extension with the organization. The two sides have come to terms on a six-year, $53 million contract extension. This new deal will buyout the first two seasons of Greene's free agency years. It's worth noting that this deal also includes a $21 million club option for a seventh season. On paper, this looks like a deal that is smart for both the organization and for Greene. The right-hander has been decent through his first four starts of the season. The 23-year-old does have ace-like potential, so this could end up being a great deal for the Reds.

The Cincinnati Reds will push starting pitcher Hunter Greene's (leg) next start back and have pitching prospect Levi Stoudt make a spot start on Wednesday against the Tampa Bay Rays. Right-hander Luke Weaver (forearm) is also scheduled to come off the injured list to pitch Thursday against the Pittsburgh Pirates. Greene was hit in the right tibia by a comebacker in his outing on Monday against the Rays, but X-rays came back negative and he will avoid a trip to the injured list for now. The hard-throwing 23-year-old right-hander has been decent in his first four starts of 2023 in his second big-league season with the Reds, posting a 4.24 ERA (2.50 FIP), 1.53 WHIP and 30.8 percent strikeout rate in 17 innings. Expect him to make a start this weekend against Pittsburgh.

Cincinnati Reds right-hander Hunter Greene left his Monday start against the Tampa Bay Rays after getting hit in the leg by a comebacker. Greene went for X-rays and was found to have suffered a right tibia contusion. Greene had thrown three scoreless innings, allowing three hits and striking out one, but did not make it out for the beginning of the fourth inning. He was replaced on the mound by right-hander Buck Farmer. It looks like Greene will tentatively be able to make his next scheduled start against the Pittsburgh Pirates but stay tuned.

Cincinnati Reds right-hander Hunter Greene allowed three runs on seven hits and no walks while striking out 10 over six innings in Wednesday's 5-4 loss to the Atlanta Braves. He did not factor into the decision. The 23-year-old picked up his first quality start of the season and induced 21 swinging strikes. He racked up a season-high 10 strikeouts and didn't issue a walk for the first this season. The former first-round pick owns a 5.14 ERA, 1.64 WHIP, and a 23:6 K: BB across 14 innings in 2023. Greene will look to build on Wednesday's performance in his next start at home against the Rays.

Cincinnati Reds starting pitcher Hunter Greene has been named the Opening Day starter, according to the team's social team page. This doesn't come as much of a surprise considering Greene is basically their best option right now. He threw four scoreless innings versus the Chicago Cubs on Thursday. Greene has shown flashes of being a legitimate ace, but hasn't fully put it together yet. He posted a 4.44 ERA, 1.21 WHIP and 164/48 K/BB ratio across 24 starts last season. The expectation is that Greene will be able to improve heading into 2023.

Cincinnati Reds rookie right-hander Hunter Greene (shoulder) is lined up to return from the injured list to start one of the games of a doubleheader on Saturday against the St. Louis Cardinals. Greene landed on the 15-day injured list in early August with a right shoulder strain, but he made three minor league rehab starts for Triple-A Louisville and looked good, allowing two earned runs on six hits while walking two and striking out 15 in seven innings pitched. The 23-year-old built up to 66 pitches in his final rehab outing, although Cincy is unlikely to push him too much to close out the 2022 regular season. Greene has lots of strikeout upside, but he's gone 4-12 with a 5.26 ERA (4.96 FIP), a 1.29 WHIP and 127 strikeouts in 102 2/3 innings in 20 starts in his first big-league season this year.

Cincinnati Reds rookie right-hander Hunter Greene (shoulder) said that his next start will be with the Reds this week after all went well on his minor league rehab assignment. It's likely that Greene will return from the 15-day injured list to start this weekend against the St. Louis Cardinals, which wouldn't be the greatest matchup for fantasy managers. The 23-year-old threw 66 pitches in his third and final rehab start at Triple-A Louisville on Sunday, giving up a run on four hits while striking out five and walking one. Expect the Reds to have a short leash on him in his return this week. Greene has plenty of long-term strikeout upside (127 K's in 102 2/3 innings), but he's also posted a 5.26 ERA (4.96 FIP) to go along with a 1.29 WHIP in his first 20 major league starts.

Cincinnati Reds starting pitcher Hunter Greene (shoulder) fired three innings of one-run ball with five strikeouts for Triple-A Louisville on Sunday. The 23-year-old hurler threw 66 pitches during the outing. Greene has been out since early August with a right shoulder strain but has been working his way back in good order. He's on track to return to Cincinnati next week, barring any last-minute setbacks.

Cincinnati Reds rookie right-hander Hunter Greene (shoulder) will make another minor league rehab start on Sunday at Triple-A Louisville. After that, barring any setbacks, Greene is expected to rejoin the Reds' starting rotation to close out the 2022 season. The 23-year-old rookie has allowed one run on two hits while walking one and striking out 10 in his two outings for Louisville so far, so he certainly looks about ready to return to the big leagues. Greene won't be able to rack up that many strikeouts the rest of the way for fantasy managers, but he'll be a highly coveted strikeout arm in fantasy drafts going into his second big league season. In his first 20 MLB starts, he has a 5.26 ERA (4.95 FIP), a 1.29 WHIP, 127 K's and 41 walks in 102 2/3 innings pitched.

Cincinnati Reds rookie right-hander Hunter Greene (shoulder) is making another minor league rehab start on Tuesday for Triple-A Louisville. Greene threw scoreless innings in his first rehab outing last Thursday and he recovered well enough to make another start early this week. Look for the 23-year-old to build his pitch count up even more after he threw 27 pitches last week. He's expected to be able to return before the end of the 2022 season, but the Reds won't rush him back. Greene will continue to be very popular in fantasy drafts next year because of his strikeout upside, but he has struggled a bit to the tune of a 5.26 ERA (4.95 FIP) and a 1.29 WHIP in 20 starts while striking out 127 and walking 41 in 102 2/3 innings in his first MLB season.

Cincinnati Reds pitcher Hunter Greene (shoulder) allowed one hit while striking out four over two scoreless innings in Thursday's rehab start with Triple-A Louisville. He has been sidelined since August 1 with a strained right shoulder and is expected to make two more rehab starts. Barring any setbacks, the 23-year-old could return to the Red rotation by next weekend. He owns a 4-12 with a 5.26 ERA, 1.30 WHIP, and a 127:41 K: BB across 102 2/3 innings in 2022. Greene had pitched well before the injury, posting a 2.70 ERA over his 23 1/3 innings. Fantasy managers should continue to stash Greene as he could make a few starts before the end of the regular season.

Cincinnati Reds rookie right-hander Hunter Greene (shoulder) threw a 25-pitch bullpen session on Sunday and is scheduled to throw another bullpen on Wednesday. Barring a setback, he's tentatively scheduled to face hitters in a live batting practice session on Saturday. "Felt good, my pitches felt good," Greene said. "Most importantly, my body felt good. It was just a good step forward." Manager David Bell said Greene will need one to three minor league rehab starts before he rejoins the Reds rotation. The 23-year-old could make as many as three more big-league starts in 2022. He was pitching well before his injury, posting a 2.70 ERA with 29 strikeouts in 23 1/3 innings in his previous four starts. In 20 starts in his rookie year, Greene is 4-12 with a 5.26 ERA, but he's shown flashes of dominance.

Cincinnati Reds starting pitcher Hunter Greene (shoulder) underwent an MRI and is expected to avoid surgery, according to Bobby Nightengale Jr. of the Cincinnati Enquirer. Although he won't need to go under the knife, there's still not timetable for Greene's return and it's unclear if he will pitch again in 2022. He's currently on the 15-day injured list and isn't expected to return as soon as he is eligible in two weeks. Greene is 4-12 with a 3.97 xFIP, 11.13 K/9, and 3.59 BB/9 through 20 games this season. He throws a triple-digits fastball but has surrendered home runs at a concerning rate of 2.02 per nine innings. His 27.9 GB% is also lower than ideal. Still, Greene is young and throws hard, making him worth rostering in most fantasy leagues upon his return.

The Cincinnati Reds placed right-handed rookie Hunter Greene (shoulder) on the 15-day injured list on Friday with a right shoulder strain and recalled right-hander Ryan Hendrix from Triple-A Louisville in a corresponding move. The move to place Greene on the injured list is retroactive to Aug. 4. There is no timetable for the 22-year-old's return, but this late into the season, it's possible that he doesn't make it back for a bad Reds team that has nothing left to play for in 2022. He's been useful in fantasy for his strikeout rate (28.8%), but he's also sporting a 5.26 ERA (4.95 FIP), 1.29 WHIP and 41 walks in 102 2/3 innings over 20 starts in his first major league season. Stash Greene for now in all fantasy formats, but be prepared for the possibility that we don't see him again this year.

Cincinnati Reds starter Hunter Greene pitched one of his best games on Monday, earning his fourth win of the year after holding the Miami Marlins to no runs through six innings of the eventual 3-1 victory. He struck out eight, walked nobody, and let up a single hit. Despite the great start, Greene still owns an ugly 5.26 ERA and 1.30 WHIP, largely due to the 41 walks and 23 HRs he's given up over 102.2 innings. Fantasy managers can rely on the 22-year-old for an abundance of strikeouts (127), but he has a lot of flaws early in his career.
