After more than two months on the injured list, Hunter GreeneThe return date of the Reds is now set. Manager Terry Francona told reporters (including Pat Brennan of the Cincinnati Enquirer) that Greene is classified as the starter for Wednesday’s game against the Phillies.
Greene appeared as the ACE of the Reds with an All-Star season in 2024, and he continued where he had gone by placing an ERA of 2.72, 30.8% Strikeout percentage and 5.9% running speed over his first 11 Starts and 59 2/3 Innovations of the 2025 campaign. A right groin tribe sent Greene to the IL for a 15-day minimum stint in May and he returned to apparently good form, but another judge Liesstam has held the right-hand staff offside since his last start on 3 June.
It seemed that Greene approached a return at the beginning of July before he experienced a little more lies pain, brought back things and delayed the start of his Minor League rehabilitation assignment until after the All-Star break. Greene threw four times during his disaster-up work with the minors, and the third of his three Triple-A performances came on Friday, when he threw 79 throws over 5 1/3 innings with Triple-a Louisville. Francona said Greene is “Probably not yet“In terms of being able to throw 100 throws in a competition, but the fact that he maintained his speed on Friday was the last sign that the Reds needed to activate him from the IL.
Unnecessary to say that coming back from Greene in the rotation is a huge help for the play -off hope of Cincinnati. The 14-8 victory of the Reds on the Pirates has today relocated the club 1.5 games from the last NL Wild Card Slot, which is held by a METS team entangled in a loss of seven games. While the New York collapse has opened the door for the Reds, Cincinnati has a tough week ahead, with the coming series against two Red-Hot Division winners in the Phillies and The Bewers.
Chase Burns was planned to start Wednesday, but Francona said the Reds have ‘Many things to continue working“When determining how the rotation will be changed now that Greene is back. Burns or Nick Martinez will be moved to Bullpen, and both pitchers can eventually end up as relievers Nick Lodolo Also returns from a blister problem that sent him to the 15-day IL last week. This would give the Reds a projected rotation of Greene, Lodolo, Andrew Abbott” Brady singerand Deadline Pick -Up Zack Littell As soon as everyone is healthy and the use of the surplus starting depth to strengthen the pen, there is a nice luxury for the team.
