Hunter Greene's Rehab Delayed by Groin Setback

Cincinnati Reds pitcher Hunter Greene has postponed his scheduled rehab assignment after experiencing renewed tightness in his previously strained right groin, leading to another MRI to assess his condition. As a result, Greene will not return before the All-Star break and his return timeline is now uncertain, with his status listed as day-to-day. Greene had been progressing well and was set to pitch for Triple-A Louisville, but discomfort after his latest bullpen session prompted the team to pause his recovery. The Reds are also monitoring the rehab progress of outfielder Jake Fraley and utility player Connor Joe, who are both making progress from their respective injuries. Greene, a key starter and former All-Star with a 2.72 ERA this season, is a crucial part of the Reds’ postseason hopes. The team remains cautious as it awaits further medical updates on Greene.
