Hunter Greene Sidelined Until July Following Elbow Surgery

Reds ace Hunter Greene will miss the first four months of the 2026 season after undergoing surgery to remove bone chips and loose bodies from his right elbow. Greene, who posted a 2.76 ERA in 19 starts last season, experienced sharp stabbing pain while attempting to ramp up his throwing program. The team confirmed the procedure is necessary to prevent further injury. This represents a significant setback for the Reds' rotation, though the team remains optimistic about his return.
