Reds' Hunter Greene Leaves Start With Groin Injury

Cincinnati Reds ace Hunter Greene exited his start against the Atlanta Braves after three dominant, scoreless innings due to a right groin injury. Greene, who had struck out six batters and allowed just two hits, appeared to suffer the injury during warmups before the fourth inning, prompting a visit from trainers and manager Terry Francona. The incident comes as Greene is off to the best start of his career, having been selected as a 2024 All-Star and posting a 2.36 ERA with 61 strikeouts in 45 2/3 innings. The extent and severity of his injury remain unknown, and the Reds will evaluate him further to determine if he will miss additional starts. Greene's previous three seasons have been interrupted by injuries, heightening concerns about his latest setback's impact on the Reds' rotation. Fans and the team await updates, hoping their star right-hander will not be sidelined for long.
