The Cincinnati Reds placed right-hander
Hunter Greene (groin) on the 15-day injured list on Friday with a Grade 1 right-groin strain that he suffered in his outing on Wednesday against the Atlanta Braves, according to The Cincinnati Enquirer's Charlie Goldsmith. In a corresponding move, the Reds are calling up right-handed pitching prospect
Chase Petty. It's a bummer for Greene's fantasy managers, but the good news is he isn't dealing with a serious groin strain and could be back in Cincy's starting rotation when he's eligible to come off the IL in a couple weeks. It's entirely possible that the hard-throwing 25-year-old will only miss a couple of starts. The former second overall pick in 2017 has been a must-start fantasy pitcher in 2025, going 4-2 with a 2.36 ERA and 0.81 WHIP with 61 strikeouts in 45 2/3 innings. Petty is the club's No. 6 prospect, per MLB Pipeline.

Cincinnati Reds right-hander
Hunter Greene (groin) has been diagnosed with a Grade 1 right-groin strain and won't go on the injured list, at least right now, according to The Cincinnati Enquirer's Gordon Wittenmyer. It's good news for now, but it doesn't mean Greene won't eventually land on the IL, depending on how he recovers. The hard-throwing 25-year-old only lasted three innings in his start on Wednesday night against the Atlanta Braves due to his groin strain. At the very least, he will most likely be skipped in Cincinnati's starting rotation the next time through. The former second overall pick in 2017 has been a must-start in fantasy in 2025 through his first eight starts over 45 2/3 innings, as he's sporting a 4-2 record, 2.36 ERA (3.07 FIP), a league-best 0.81 WHIP and a league-leading 7.63 strikeouts/walk mark.

Cincinnati Reds right-hander
Hunter Greene (groin) left his start early on Wednesday against the Atlanta Braves at Truist Park due to a right-groin injury, according to The Cincinnati Enquirer's Charlie Goldsmith. It's a shame that Greene had to leave early, as he already had thrown three shutout innings with no walks and six strikeouts. Fantasy managers should check back for an update after the Reds put Greene through some post-game tests. For now, the 25-year-old's next start will be in question in what would be an excellent matchup next Tuesday against the Chicago White Sox, and he could be forced to the 15-day injured list as well. The former first-rounder has been a must-start in fantasy in 2025, as he entered Wednesday's start with a 4-2 record, 2.53 ERA, 0.82 WHIP and 55 strikeouts in 42 2/3 innings over seven starts.
UPDATE: Greene will undergo an MRI exam on Thursday morning before the team decides what to do next. Both Greene and the Reds have suggested it might not be severe. However, the pitcher said, "I don't know. I'm not a doctor."--Keith Hernandez - RotoBallerSource: The Cincinnati Enquirer - Charlie Goldsmith

Cincinnati Reds right-handed pitcher
Hunter Greene allowed two hits and one earned run over six innings pitched in Friday's 6-1 win over the Washington Nationals. He struck out 12 batters and issued just two free passes, improving to 4-2 to start the year. Greene was dominant through five innings, with the only run he allowed coming on a solo bomb from Nats first baseman
Josh Bell. Otherwise, the 25-year-old was superb, inducing 18 swings and misses and topping his previous season-high in strikeouts by four. He'll carry a stellar 2.53 ERA and 0.82 WHIP with 55 strikeouts in 44 2/3 innings pitched into a scheduled start against the Atlanta Braves next week.
