Overview
- The Reds reinstated right-hander Hunter Greene from the 60-day injured list and made roster moves to clear a spot by optioning Chase Petty and designating Will Benson for assignment.
- Greene completed three clean minor-league rehab starts and threw 6 1/3 shutout innings in his final outing before rejoining the big-league rotation.
- He made his season debut on Saturday, July 4, and lasted 3 1/3 innings while allowing eight runs, issuing four walks, giving up seven hits and striking out seven.
- Manager Terry Francona said he does not plan to limit Greene's workload, and the club hopes Greene can help a rotation that has been short on reliable innings.
- Greene has posted a 2.76 ERA across the past two seasons but has missed substantial time to injuries, so his return offers long-term upside even as one poor start leaves the Reds’ immediate playoff outlook unchanged.
