Reds RHP Hunter Greene (groin) exits after three innings

Cincinnati ace Hunter Greene was removed from the Reds' Wednesday game against the host Atlanta Braves in the bottom of the fourth inning after sustaining a right groin injury.

Reds manager Terry Francona said after his team's 4-3 win, "We are going to get him looked at in the morning. ... I don't think anything happening to him is a good thing, but I don't think (the injury) is bad."

Greene, 25, was warming up to pitch the bottom of the fourth when he bounced a pitch in the dirt and looked into the dugout. Francona and a trainer came to the mound, and Greene was taken to the clubhouse for examination.

Before exiting, Greene allowed two hits and struck out six over three scoreless innings. The right-hander is 4-2 with a 2.36 ERA, 61 strikeouts, eight walks and a 0.810 WHIP in eight starts.

Greene is coming off his first All-Star campaign. He posted a 9-5 record, 2.75 ERA, 169 strikeouts, 57 walks and a 1.018 WHIP over 26 starts in 2024.

In his fourth season with the Reds, Greene is 22-27 with a 3.74 ERA in 80 starts, having notched 546 strikeouts along with 161 walks and a 1.159 WHIP.
