Agrees to six-year, $53M extension Greene and the Reds agreed Tuesday to a six-year, $53 million contract extension with a seventh-year club option, Jeff Passan of ESPN reports.

Impact The new deal kicks in this season and will buy out what would have been Greene's first two years of free agency. The option for 2029 is worth $21 million and carries a $2 million buyout. Greene, 23, is one of the hardest-throwing starting pitchers in baseball history and boasts 188 strikeouts through his first 142.2 major-league innings. Granted, he's also issued 54 walks in that span and holds a career 4.42 ERA. With a little improvement in his overall command and secondary offerings, the right-hander could emerge as a full-on superstar in Cincinnati.

Will get extra day of rest Reds manager David Bell said Tuesday that Greene (leg) will have his next start pushed back a day, Charlie Goldsmith of The Cincinnati Enquirer reports.

Impact In fact, all member of the Reds' starting rotation will get an additional day of rest on the next turn through. Levi Stoudt is set to make his MLB debut in a spot start Wednesday versus the Rays and Luke Weaver (forearm) will be activated from the IL to pitch Thursday against the Pirates, allowing for the schedule maneuvering. Greene took a comebacker off his right tibia Monday but X-rays turned up negative for any structural damage.

Hopeful for next start Greene (tibia contusion) said he hopes to make his next start, Bobby Nightengale of The Cincinnati Enquirer reports.

Impact His right leg tightened up in between innings after he was hit by a comebacker, but X-rays were negative. Greene tossed three scoreless innings with one strikeout against the Rays before his night was cut short. If Greene can stay on turn, he would line up to pitch this weekend in Pittsburgh.

X-rays return negative Greene left Saturday's game against the Rays with a right tibia contusion, C. Trent Rosecrans of The Athletic reports. X-rays returned negative.

Impact Greene was hit hard by a comebacker in the second inning against Tampa Bay, and while he was able to continue for one more inning the bruise left him unable to continue. The hard-throwing right-hander should be considered day-to-day, and it's a positive development that there was no structural damage found during the imaging.

Impact Greene was hit in the shin area by a comebacker, and while he initially was able to stay in the contest, he was forced to exit an inning later. Greene will likely undergo imaging to make sure there's no structural damage, and there should be an update on his status before Tuesday's game against Tampa Bay. Buck Farmer has replaced Greene on the mound.

Fans 10 in no-decision Greene allowed three runs on seven hits and no walks over six innings in a no-decision against Atlanta on Wednesday. He struck out 10 batters.

Impact Greene went toe-to-toe with opposing hurler and fellow rising star Spencer Strider on Wednesday, racking up 10 strikeouts and 21 swinging strikes to Strider's nine and 22. Greene was able to go six frames to pick up his first quality start of the season, but he was kept out of the win column as Atlanta pulled out the victory in the ninth inning. This was the 23-year-old's best start of the campaign thus far, as he pitched past the fifth inning for the first time and notched a season-high strikeout total. This was also the first time in 2023 that Greene didn't issue any free passes -- he walked three batters in each of his first two outings.

Can't get through fifth Friday Greene did not factor into the decision Friday, allowing two runs on five hits and three walks over 4.2 innings in a 5-2 loss to Philadelphia. He struck out five.

Impact Greene surrender the first run of the game in the second inning after walking three consecutive batters but got out of the frame by getting Trea Turner with the bases loaded. After back-to-back shutout frames, the young right-hander got into trouble again in the fifth and gave up a go-ahead RBI double to Kyle Schwarber. Greene retired the next two batters but was replaced by Alex Young. Through two starts, Greene's pitched just eight innings and given up five earned runs, but he has 13 strikeouts.

Another postponed start Greene and the Reds won't play Thursday after the Phillies postponed their home opener to Friday because of rain, Charlie Goldsmith of the Cincinnati Enquirer reports.

Impact Greene was supposed to make his second start of the season Wednesday versus the Cubs before that game got banged due to inclement weather in Cincinnati. And now the waiting game rolls on for the 23-year-old right-hander as April storms continue to move across parts of the United States. He should get the ball in Friday's makeup game at Citizens Bank Park.

Impact There was an 1:43 delay before deciding to postpone the contest. Hunter Greene and Marcus Stroman were scheduled to pitch Wednesday, but they'll now likely be the starters for their clubs next game.

APRIL 5, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Only 3.1 innings in opener Greene did not factor into the decision Thursday, allowing three runs on five hits and three walks over 3.1 innings against the Pirates. He struck out eight.

Impact The right-hander brought the fireworks to Cincinnati on Opening Day, regularly lighting up the radar gun at 100 mph, including one pitch clocked by Statcast at an absurd 105.2 mph. Oneil Cruz turned on one of those fastballs for a long homer, and per John Fay of The Cincinnati Enquirer, Greene's velocity dipped as he progressed through the outing. With that, manager David Bell decided to lift Greene after only 83 pitches. Greene should be available for a heavier workload next week at home against the Cubs, but it will be an uphill battle for Greene all season.
