Hit around in season debut Greene (0-1) took the loss against the Orioles on Saturday, allowing eight runs on seven hits and four walks with seven strikeouts over 3.1 innings.

Impact Greene allowed a three-run homer in the first inning before being charged with five runs while recording only one out in the fourth. On the bright side, he generated an impressive 15 swinging strikes on 89 pitches in his first start since undergoing elbow surgery in March. He'll look to continue shaking off the rust in one final start before the All-Star break, which lines up as a home matchup with the Cubs next weekend.

Officially activated from 60-day IL The Reds activated Greene (elbow) from the 60-day injured list ahead of his scheduled start against the Orioles on Saturday.

Impact Greene is finally ready to make his 2026 debut after fully recovering from arthroscopic surgery in mid-March to remove bone chips in his right elbow. The 26-year-old right-hander is looking to build off a strong 2025 regular season, when he went 7-4 across 19 starts with a 2.76 ERA, 0.94 WHIP and 132:26 K:BB across 107.2 innings. In corresponding moves, right-hander Chase Petty was optioned to Triple-A Louisville and outfielder Will Benson was designated for assignment.

Set for season debut Saturday Greene (elbow) will make his season debut for the Reds on Saturday versus the Orioles, Charlie Goldsmith of Fox 19 Now Cincinnati reports.

Impact Manager Terry Francona had said previously that Greene would take the ball either Friday or Saturday, and it's now official that the hard-throwing righty will pitch on Independence Day. Brady Singer will get the start in Friday's series opener. Greene is coming back from arthroscopic surgery to remove bone chips from his right elbow, which he underwent in mid-March. The hurler was excellent in three rehab starts, posting a 13:2 K:BB over 14.1 scoreless innings. Greene logged 82 pitches and 6.1 frames in his final rehab outing, so he should be prepared for close to a full workload Saturday.

Rejoins team Greene (elbow) rejoined the Reds for the beginning of the team's road trip in Milwaukee on Monday, Rich Rovito of MLB.com reports.

Impact While Greene hasn't been activated from the injured list, that is expected to happen in the coming day. Reds manager Terry Francona hasn't settled on a day for Greene's return, but a final decision should come Tuesday. "We're kind of working through that," Francona said. "I'd like to visit with all the pitchers first. Obviously, it could be Friday or Saturday, but that's kind of stating the obvious." Greene, who had surgery in early March to remove bone chips from his right elbow, is coming off a scoreless 6.1 innings for Triple-A Louisville on Sunday.

Dazzles in 82-pitch rehab start Greene (elbow) struck out four and allowed one hit and no walks over 6.1 scoreless innings Sunday in a rehab start with Triple-A Louisville.

Impact In what was likely the third and final start of his rehab assignment, Greene answered any questions about his readiness to join the big-league rotation. During Sunday's outing, the 26-year-old righty averaged 98.8 mph with his four-seam fastball -- just under a tick below his average with the Reds from the 2025 season -- and racked up 12 swinging strikes on 82 pitches (54 strikes). Assuming he checks out fine following his next bullpen session, Greene will likely come off the 60-day injured list to make his 2026 Reds debut during this weekend's series with the Orioles in Cincinnati. Greene was placed on the shelf coming out of spring training after he underwent arthroscopic surgery March 11 to remove loose bodies from his right elbow.

Poised for season debut next week Reds manager Terry Francona said Wednesday that Greene (elbow) will make one more rehab start with Triple-A Louisville on Sunday, Charlie Clifford of NBC 5 Cincinnati reports.

Impact Greene is slated to throw 80-to-85 pitches in his third rehab start and, if all goes well, will rejoin the Reds' rotation for his season debut late next week. The right-hander has looked sharp in his first two rehab outings, sitting in the upper-90s with his fastball while tossing eight scoreless innings with a 9:2 K:BB. Greene is coming back from surgery to remove bone chips from his right elbow.

Throws 64 pitches in rehab start Greene (elbow) struck out three over four scoreless frames in a rehab start with Triple-A Louisville on Tuesday.

Impact Greene yielded only two hits and one walk, throwing 64 pitches in his second rehab outing and first with Louisville. He averaged 98.4 mph with his four-seamer Tuesday (down a bit from last year's 99.5 mph average) and has tossed eight scoreless innings with a 9:2 K:BB in his two rehab starts. Greene will likely make one more rehab start before rejoining the Reds' rotation. He's working his way back from mid-March surgery to remove bone chips from his right elbow.
