1. Hunter Greene Faces MRI After Groin Strain
In a stunning turn of events, Cincinnati Reds pitcher Hunter Greene departed yesterday’s victory over Atlanta after just three scoreless innings due to a troubling groin issue. This morning, he'll undergo an MRI, and team officials are bracing for potential complications. While both Greene and the Reds remain hopeful, the specter of an injured list stint looms ominously. The 25-year-old sensation boasts an impressive 2.36 ERA and 3.07 FIP over his eight starts this season—his possible absence could significantly impact the Reds' fight in the competitive NL Central. Should Greene need to step back, keep an eye on Chase Petty as the likely fill-in, while veteran Wade Miley remains sidelined, still recovering from his own groin troubles.
