Cincinnati Reds Pitcher Hunter Greene Elbow Injury Update The Cincinnati Reds have announced that pitcher Hunter Greene will miss up to four months due to a scope surgery to address bone spurs and "loose bodies" in his right elbow. The decision was made after two medical opinions Greene sought aligned, according to Reds president of baseball operations Nick Krall. Greene’s procedure is scheduled for March 11. Greene left spring training on March 4 to seek medical evaluations for right elbow stiffness, as reported by team officials. They anticipated a clearer understanding of his condition by March 10. On March 4, manager Alex Francona and Krall informed reporters that Greene was returning to Cincinnati to consult with orthopedic surgeon and longtime Reds team doctor Dr. Timothy Kremchek on March 6. Subsequently, Greene would meet with Los Angeles-based physician Dr. Neal ElAttrache on March 9 due to persistent stiffness. An MRI is planned while he is in Cincinnati. Greene started one Cactus League game on February 28 and reported feeling strong afterward. He was scheduled to throw a side bullpen session on March 3 but experienced some stiffness after waking up that morning. Krall noted there were no indications the issue was significantly affecting him prior to the session. Francona emphasized the need to ensure Greene’s health, stating, “We need to make sure he’s OK, so we’ll have information, probably, Tuesday.” Greene had been dealing with the elbow issue toward the end of the 2025 season but pushed through it during Cincinnati’s playoff push. He went 3-1 in his final eight starts, helping the Reds reach the postseason. The story will be updated as further details emerge.#cincinnati_reds #hunter_greene #dr_neal_elattrache #nick_krall #dr_timothy_kremchek
