Hunter Greene Fantasy Stats

Updating a previous report, Cincinnati Reds right-hander Hunter Greene (elbow) said he has no damage to the UCL in his right elbow, according to Charlie Goldsmith of FOX 19. Greene pitched through some elbow soreness late last year and admitted that he has bone spurs in his arm, but he believes his UCL is intact. We will know for sure once the results of his MRI exam come back. The 26-year-old had an injection in the offseason and felt fine before dealing with more discomfort this spring. Even if Greene doesn't have UCL damage, which would be great news, he could still be a candidate to open the 2026 season on the injured list. Greene, a former second overall pick in 2017, was an All-Star in 2024 and is a top-15 starting pitcher in fantasy when healthy. In his fourth year in the majors in 2025, he went 7-4 with a 2.76 ERA, 0.94 WHIP, and 132:26 K:BB in 107 2/3 innings over 19 starts. Greene has ace upside, but he's yet to make 30 starts or reach 200 innings in a single season.

Cincinnati Reds right-hander Hunter Greene (elbow) is dealing with a right-elbow injury and will undergo an MRI exam, according to Charlie Goldsmith of FOX 19. Greene won't throw until at least next Tuesday and is now in danger of not being ready for Opening Day at the end of March. The 26-year-old's elbow issue dates back to the final five or six starts from last year. He received an injection in the offseason and felt fine, but the discomfort has returned this spring. Greene said that he knows he has bone spurs in his elbow, but there's no UCL damage. In his Cactus League start on Saturday, he gave up four runs on five hits in just one inning of work. He has one of the best arms in the game and is currently ranked as RotoBaller's No. 10 starting pitcher in fantasy, so losing Greene for a chunk of time to begin the season would be a big blow to the Reds and Greene's 2026 value.

Cincinnati Reds starting pitcher Hunter Greene added a two-seam fastball and feels he improved his splitter over the offseason, per Charlie Clifford of NBC 5 Cincinnati. The 26-year-old reaffirmed his status as one of the best pitchers in baseball in 2025, posting a 7-4 record with a 2.76 ERA, 0.94 WHIP, and 132 strikeouts across 107 2/3 innings (19 starts). Greene missed significant time due to right groin strains that required two separate stints on the Injured List, the second of which forced him to miss over two months. However, the right-hander finished the year on the mound for Cincinnati and appears to be fully healthy heading into 2026 Spring Training. In 2025, Greene lowered his walk rate to a career-best 6.2% while also upping his strikeout rate to a career-best 31.4%. If his new pitch mix helps him unlock even more answers, Greene could emerge as a truly elite fantasy SP1 in 2026.

Cincinnati Reds starting pitcher Hunter Greene remains with the team ahead of spring training, despite countless trade rumors and speculation throughout the offseason. At times, it sounded like Greene might be a legitimate trade candidate, but in the end, he'll remain the ace in Cincinnati's rotation for at least one more year. He's coming off a solid season that was abbreviated due to injury. Across 19 starts (107.2 innings), he posted a 3.04 xERA, 11.03 K/9, and 2.17 BB/9. Loud contact was a slightly concerning subject as his home run rate jumped to 1.25 HR/9 and his ground ball rate dropped to 32.9%. Still, his impressive control and ability to blow his 100 mph fastball by batters make him one of the most exciting players to watch and roster in fantasy baseball. He remains atop the Reds' rotation and is on track for a 3.56 FIP with 3.2 fWAR in 2026, according to the ZiPS projections. As it stands, Greene ranks as the #9 starting pitcher in RotoBaller's latest fantasy baseball draft rankings.

The Cincinnati Reds have publicly denied any efforts to trade right-hander Hunter Greene, but "they still plan to listen to offers" for Greene, according to Bob Nightengale of USA Today Sports. However, unless the Reds are completely overwhelmed by a trade offer and receive a return that will help them now and in the future, Cincinnati "will keep him." Greene is owed just $39 million over the next three seasons and has a 421 million team option for 2029. At the price and with his ability, Nightengale writes that the Reds "aren't going to find a better pitcher at a bigger discount rate." The 26-year-old hard-throwing starter missed two-plus months with a groin injury in 2025, but when healthy, he was a high-end fantasy starter, going 7-4 with a 2.76 ERA (3.27 FIP) and 0.94 WHIP with 132 K's and 26 walks in 107 2/3 frames over 19 starts. Greene is no stranger to injuries, but a career 30% strikeout rate makes him a No. 1 starter in fantasy.

Cincinnati Reds right-hander Hunter Greene will take the hill at Dodger Stadium on Tuesday night to face the Los Angeles Dodgers in Game 1 of the wild-card series. Greene will have a tough task on his hands against the defending World Series champions on the road, but they could be without All-Star catcher Will Smith (hand). The 26-year-old former first-rounder missed some time with an injury this year, which limited him to 19 starts in his fourth big-league season. The hard-throwing hurler was sharp when he was active for the Reds, though, going 7-4 with a 2.76 ERA (3.28 FIP) and 0.94 WHIP with 132 strikeouts and 26 walks in 107 2/3 innings pitched. Greene took a loss in his only meeting against LA in 2025 back on Aug. 25, when he allowed five runs (three earned) on six hits (two homers) while walking two and striking out only three in five innings. In his five September starts, Greene allowed over two earned runs just once.

Cincinnati Reds right-hander Hunter Greene turned in an ace-like performance on Wednesday in an 8-0 win over the Philadelphia Phillies. Making his return after missing two-plus months with a groin injury, Greene fired six shutout innings and allowed three hits with no walks and six strikeouts on 85 pitches (58 strikes). He generated 16 whiffs and gave up just one extra-base hit - a double to Kyle Schwarber. Greene has been on the IL twice this year with groin issues, but the 26-year-old has delivered elite results when healthy. Over 12 starts and 65 2/3 innings, Greene has gone 5-3 with a 2.47 ERA, a .93 WHIP, and 79 strikeouts against 14 walks. He's scheduled to make his next start against the Los Angeles Angels on Tuesday.

Cincinnati Reds right-hander Hunter Greene (groin) is expected to come off the 15-day injured list and start Wednesday against the Philadelphia Phillies, according to manager Terry Francona. Greene, out since June 4 with a strained right groin, made his fourth and final rehab start with Triple-A Louisville on Friday and built up to 79 pitches. The 26-year-old posted ace-like numbers before going on the IL, as he put up a 2.72 ERA with a .97 WHIP, 73 strikeouts, and 14 walks in 59 2/3 innings. He'll be a major late-season reinforcement for the Reds and fantasy managers.

Cincinnati Reds manager Terry Francona said Monday that starting pitcher Hunter Greene (groin) will make his next rehab start on Friday and will aim to throw up to 80 pitches. The 25-year-old, who went on the injured list at the beginning of May with a right groin strain, threw 66 pitches in his third rehab start with Triple-A Louisville. Greene's rehab starts have been up-and-down, but the good news is that he has been able to progress closer to a return to the Reds. He had picked up this season where he left off in 2024, going 4-3 with a 2.72 ERA, a 0.97 WHIP, and a 30.8% strikeout rate.

Cincinnati Reds right-hander Hunter Greene (groin) looked good on Sunday with Triple-A Louisville in his third minor-league rehab start, allowing two unearned runs on three hits while walking one and striking out seven in 3 1/3 innings pitched against Triple-A Omaha. It was a nice bounce-back outing after Greene allowed four earned runs and five hits in just 2 1/3 innings in his last rehab start while also leaving with a sore leg. The hard-throwing 25-year-old didn't appear to have any issues this time out and could be activated from the injured list to make his next start in the big leagues. Greene will have more risk surrounding him in fantasy in his first start back with the Reds, but he should absolutely be rostered in all fantasy leagues due to his ace potential when healthy. The former second overall pick had a 2.72 ERA with 73 K's in 59 2/3 innings earlier this year before his injury.
