Reds’ Hunter Greene To Undergo Second Tommy John Surgery

Pitcher Hunter Greene of the Cincinnati Reds is set to undergo his second Tommy John surgery, a significant setback that will see him miss the entirety of next year's MLB season. Greene, who made his return this season as late as June, saw limited action before deciding on the surgery. His recovery timeline is expected to stretch to Labor Day of 2027, making it improbable for him to return to major league action next year.

The timing of his return and subsequent involvement raises concerns, especially considering the importance of Greene to the Reds’ future plans. Alongside newly extended teammate Chase Burns, Elliot de la Cruz, and Sal Stewart, Greene is seen as a cornerstone player for the franchise. The organization is likely to exercise caution in his recovery process, aiming not to rush him back unnecessarily.

In other news, following a challenging loss to the Chicago White Sox, the Reds managed to secure a tight 9-8 victory in their latest game, showing resilience despite their earlier struggles.
