Hunter Greene sidelined for 2026 and majority of 2027 due to injury

Summary

Cincinnati Reds pitcher Hunter Greene will undergo surgery for a partially torn UCL in his right elbow, sidelining him for the entire 2026 season and most of 2027. Greene reported pain after a bullpen session on August 4, following his July 31 start, leading to a second opinion and subsequent surgery decision. This injury forces the Reds to reevaluate their pitching rotation and consider significant trades to maintain competitiveness. Brady Singer's role becomes more crucial, with discussions of his potential extension intensifying in Greene's absence.
