Cincinnati Reds Pitcher Hunter Greene Elbow Injury Update
Hunter Greene will miss 14–16 weeks after elbow surgery to remove bone chips, with no ligament damage, targeting a July return, Reds officials said.
- On March 10, 2026, the Cincinnati Reds announced Hunter Greene will undergo arthroscopic surgery to remove bone chips and loose bodies, with Dr. Neal ElAttrache performing the procedure on March 11.
- Following a spring-training MRI and elbow stiffness, Greene left camp on March 4, after bone spurs were discovered in late October 2025 and an injection was administered, leading to further evaluation.
- Hunter Greene, Cincinnati Reds right-hander, logged 296 pitches at 100 mph and averaged a 99.5 mph fastball, ranking among baseball's hardest throwers, last season.
- Cincinnati plans to cover innings internally and will not seek external starters, with Andrew Abbott named Opening Day starter and rotation candidates Nick Lodolo, Brady Singer, Chase Burns, and Rhett Lowder competing for spots.
- Given the clean UCL and typical 14-to-16 week recovery, Greene is expected to return around July if rehab proceeds as planned.
