Reds pitcher Hunter Greene to undergo elbow surgery, out until July
Greene's surgery will remove bone chips from his right elbow; Reds expect him back by July after stiffness following spring training debut, team president said.
- Mar 10, 2026 — Cincinnati Reds right-hander Hunter Greene will undergo a procedure Wednesday to remove bone chips and is not expected to return until July, the team said.
- Following reported stiffness, Greene left spring camp, returned to Cincinnati, and underwent an MRI on Friday after his Feb. 28 spring training debut.
- Medical scans indicated bone chips and loose bodies while the UCL appeared intact; Dr. Neal ElAttrache will perform surgery Wednesday in Los Angeles.
- Greene's absence reshapes the Reds' rotation and depth as he signed a six-year, $53 million contract extension and went 7-4 with a 2.76 ERA last year; left-handed pitcher Andrew Abbott is the opening-day starter.
- Greene's elite velocity and performance highlight his upside, but recent injury history with elbow issues in 2024 and groin strains in 2025 affected his availability, with surgery expected until July.
