Hunter Greene the Top Pitcher to Stash With Debut Nearing
Cincinnati Reds right-hander Hunter Greene (elbow) remains on the 60-day injured list and has not pitched at all for the Reds in 2026 after having surgery back in March to remove bone chips from his right elbow, but he will make one final minor-league rehab start on Sunday with Triple-A Louisville before making his 2026 big-league debut next weekend. This is your cue to run to the waiver wire and add the hard-throwing 26-year-old immediately. Greene is currently rostered in 70% of Yahoo leagues. The former second overall pick in the 2017 MLB draft is no stranger to injuries -- he has never reached 30 starts in any of his four MLB seasons -- but when healthy, he can be a fantasy ace. Greene has a 3.65 ERA (3.83 FIP) and 1.14 WHIP with a 30% strikeout rate in his four major-league seasons, and he recorded ERAs under 3.00 in each of his last two seasons in Cincy. In his two rehab starts, he hasn't allowed a run in eight innings while walking two and striking out nine.
