"Expected to be the Reds' ace, Greene added more lower-body work to his offseason routine in hopes of avoiding injuries. Greene went 7-4 with a 2.76 ERA last season, helping Cincinnati earn an NL wild card for its first playoff appearance since 2020. Greene whose 99.5 mph average four-seam fastball velocity led the major leagues among those throwing at least 1,250 pitches, was limited to a career-low 19 starts and 107⅔ innings."
"Greene was placed on the 15-day injured list on May 9 with a right groin strain. He returned on May 23 and made three starts before going back on the IL with the same injury. This time, he was sidelined until Aug. 13. Greene, 26, is entering his fifth big league season."
"He made the NL All-Star team for the first time in 2024 while going 9-5 with a 2.75 ERA in 26 starts. He also had 169 strikeouts in 150 1/3 innings despite spending time on the IL that year with elbow soreness."
Hunter Greene, the Cincinnati Reds' expected ace, departed spring training due to right elbow stiffness. Manager Terry Francona and baseball operations president Nick Krall announced Greene will receive an MRI in Cincinnati and be examined by team orthopedic consultant Dr. Timothy Kremchek, with additional consultation from Los Angeles Dodgers physician Dr. Neal ElAttrache. Greene added lower-body work to his offseason routine to prevent injuries. Last season, he posted a 7-4 record with a 2.76 ERA across 19 starts, leading MLB with a 99.5 mph average fastball velocity. He was limited by injuries, spending time on the injured list with groin strain and elbow soreness.
