Hunter Greene to Get Elbow Surgery, per Report
Greene, 27, was placed on the injured list after elbow soreness returned, and the Reds said the surgery details and recovery timetable are unclear.
- Cincinnati Reds starting pitcher Hunter Greene will undergo a second surgery on his right elbow this year, Reds President of Baseball Operations Nick Krall announced, ending Greene's 2026 season.
- Following an arthroscopic procedure in March to remove bone chips, Greene missed three months before returning July 4; he was placed on the 15-day injured list Wednesday after reporting elbow soreness.
- Medical opinions from Dr. Timothy Kremcheck and Dr. Neal ElAttrache led to the surgical recommendation. "They're going to go in there, find out what it is and go from there," Krall said.
- With a 56-58 record, Cincinnati begins a three-game series against the Washington Nationals at Nationals Park four games back in the wild card race, despite surging 13-6 since the All-Star break without Greene.
- Reds manager Terry Francona expressed relief the team caught Greene's discomfort early, stating, "It'd be way easier if we get you looked at as opposed to just hoping," though Greene's 2027 outlook remains unknown.
