Hunter Greene Headed To The Injured List With Elbow Injury
4 months agoCincinnati Reds starting pitcher Hunter Greene (shoulder) was placed on the 15-day injured on Saturday evening with right-elbow soreness. The Reds plan on recalling a player from Triple-A sometime tomorrow. The right-hander expressed some pain in his throwing elbow following his previous start on Tuesday and will now sit out for at least the next two weeks. Since the start of July, the hard thrower has been one of the best pitchers in the sport, boasting an incredible 0.98 ERA, 0.70 WHIP, and a 12:53 BB:K ratio across 46 frames. Overall, through 143 1/3 innings of work, the Notre Dame product sits with a 2.83 ERA and a 1.02 WHIP and is on pace to have the best season of his major league career. Fantasy managers should pay close attention to who is called upon to fill the open spot in the rotation going forward. UPDATE: Manager David Bell said it's too early to say anything definitive on Greene, but initially, his MRI exam looked good. There's a hope he could return when he's eligible to come off the IL.
