Hunter Greene a Must-Stash Ahead of Approaching Return
Lance McAlister, host of 700 WLW Sports Talk + Reds Inside Pitch, reported on Thursday that Cincinnati Reds right-hander Hunter Greene (elbow) topped out at 101 mph in his first rehab outing, and threw three innings, allowing two hits, zero earned runs, zero walks, and six strikeouts. He threw 45 pitches, 34 of which were strikes. It was an extremely sharp outing for Greene, who has been out all season due to recovering from a March 11 surgery to remove bone chips from his right elbow. Greene is slated to return from the injured list sometime over the next few weeks, and this is likely fantasy managers' last chance to capitalize on Greene potentially being on your waiver wire. Greene was a consensus top-20 starting pitcher coming into the 2026 season, due to his elite fastball and swing-and-miss upside. Last season, Greene had a 2.76 ERA and 0.94 WHIP with a 31.4 percent strikeout rate in 107 ⅔ innings pitched. Greene has a league-winning type of upside, and fantasy managers will want to take advantage of that if they can.
