Cincinnati Reds pitcher Hunter Greene is currently facing a concern regarding his right elbow. According to reports, Greene will undergo an MRI conducted by Dr. Timothy Kremcheck as he waits for further information regarding the issue. As a precaution, he will not be throwing until at least Thursday.
Throughout his career, Greene has had difficulty maintaining his health over a full season. His performance in 2025 was compromised as he managed only 19 starts and pitched 107 2/3 innings. The 2024 season marked a notable exception, as he was named an All-Star after making 26 starts and surpassing 150 innings for the first time.
Earlier this offseason, Greene expressed his commitment to improving his physical condition to prevent injuries, stating, “Continuing to try to bulletproof my body, that’s all I can do.” He acknowledged that every athlete’s body functions differently and highlighted his unique performance metrics among peers, like Tarik Skubal. Greene emphasized his focus on hard work and control over his training.
If Greene’s elbow injury turns out to be serious, it could pose a significant challenge for the Reds as they begin the season, despite having considerable pitching depth. The team and fans are hopeful for a quick and positive resolution to Greene’s situation.
