The Cincinnati Reds expect to learn more sometime Wednesday about the long-term prognosis of All-Star pitcher Hunter Greene after he undergoes surgery for his badly damaged elbow – specifically whether the extent of the surgery could sideline him all of next season.
Greene, who began experiencing soreness after his fifth start since returning from his first injured-list stretch this season, was to have the surgery in Los Angeles the morning of Aug. 12 with Dr. Neal ElAttrache performing the operation.
Reds schedule Chicago White Sox Forget September. The Reds are already being pushed by their August schedule
If the damage is severe enough to require Tommy John reconstruction of the ulnar collateral ligament that is all but certain to mean Greene's return to the rotation would be pushed to at least early 2028. It would be the second Tommy John surgery of his professional career (also in the minors).
A less severe outcome could mean an internal brace procedure for the UCL that typically requires less rehab time but still would mean missing most of next season.
